Ship: The Wasa
Wasa – Handcrafted Wooden Model Ship (1:75 Scale)
This meticulously crafted wooden model of the Wasa (kit from Corel) captures the grandeur of one of the most iconic warships of the 17th century. Built with attention to detail, this 1:75 scale model showcases the ship’s striking design, elaborate rigging, and powerful presence on the seas.
The Wasa was a Swedish warship that famously sank on its maiden voyage in 1628. Despite its tragic fate, it remains a symbol of naval ambition and craftsmanship. This model pays tribute to that legacy with carefully assembled wooden planks, intricate rigging, and a personally adapted color scheme inspired by the Swedish flag, featuring bold blue and yellow accents. Unlike the historically painted sculptures of the original, the ornaments were not painted and have a golden display.
This model ship is perfect for maritime enthusiasts, history lovers, and collectors seeking a unique centerpiece for their collection. Whether displayed in a home, office, or gallery, the Wasa model tells the story of an ambitious naval masterpiece and its place in history.
Dimensions: 92 cm length x 35 width cm x 75 cm heigth

Due to the delicate nature of a model ship, this piece is available for local pickup only in Belgium (I do not feel comfortable shipping it by mail). Given the nearly 1,000 hours of craftsmanship invested in its construction and the personal value I attach to each completed model, it is impossible to determine a realistic price. Only serious offers will be considered.
