\"Ship<\/a><\/p>\n

Scandinavian warship model Vasa<\/strong><\/a> is a great test to check modelers skills. Our partners have spent eight hours a day for twelve months for its assembly. The modeling kit requires patience and meticulousness in detail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is a perfect replica<\/strong> of the original ship<\/strong><\/a>, which is now in the museum called Vasa in Stockholm (Sweden). Thanks to the Vasa wooden ship model<\/strong> 1\/65<\/a> the modeler will have entertainment for a long time. You will always be helped by very clarifying step-by-step photographic instructions written in nine languages. Do you want a great challenge? This is yours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Among the most notable features of the Vasa<\/strong><\/a>, of this great Swedish sailboat<\/strong>, was its enormous power. It had to move 1,200 tons of weight and a sail area of \u200b\u200b1,150 square meters and 80 tons. A fact that is reflected in our scale model<\/strong> due to its large dimensions: 42\u2019\u2019 length, 34\u2019\u2019 height and 40\u2019\u2019 width.<\/p>\n

SUCCESSFUL DECORATION FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL SHIP MODEL: VASA 1\/65<\/h2>\n

What about its decoration! More than a meter of beauty with around 100 sculptures<\/strong> made in die-cast<\/strong> between its stern and, somewhat less, its prow, which provide a colorful rarely seen on ship modeling<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Ship<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, full of meaning, the carvings are divided into five themes.<\/strong> They representing King Gustavo II and his lackeys, lions holding the shield, human faces with different emotions on their faces, angels, sirens and sea creatures and mythological. Moreover, when it was built, it had 700 more than today. It had heroes of the Bible, Roman emperors and Greek gods.<\/p>\n

\"Ship<\/a><\/p>\n

Vasa model ship<\/strong><\/a> may preside over any room in which it is placed, providing it with a touch of classical elegance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But it is not the only thing that the ship<\/strong> modeling kit<\/strong><\/a> of the Swedish vessel<\/strong> brings in die-cast, the 64 cannons<\/strong> of port and starboard are also made of this metallic material.<\/p>\n
