Looking for some advice. I had settled on the Corel Vasa but am getting cold feet... The DeAgostini is out of stock (and no response from them) so that one's out. Notwithstanding the scale differences - should I begin with the Corel, the Billings, or the Mantua/Sergal before kit-bashing (which I am not skilled/experienced enough to do a whole lot of)? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

 Hello... I would love to vote in your poll but am not familiar with the Vasa nor any of those specific kits... So I do not feel qualified..

 There are some beautiful boxwood carvings for this ship on Ebay if you search for model ship fittings.

 Hi Brian. Thanks for the tip on the fittings. Expensive but impressive. It seems like some of the pieces should be curved and might be flat. Are you aware of anyone who has used these 1:75?

 Im afraid Im in the same boat as Mike, not familiar with the kits to make any suggestion. I sure would love to build the Vasa myself someday. Good luck finding the info you need and I bet yours will look awesome when you're done.

Have a look at the build logs on this site and the Ships of scale site. There's a [Site indexes] button on the home page but the index you want is this one.
