Short answer: Yes, but probably different on the original, this is very unclear to me how the bump were on the original and despite heavy research i have failed to get a definitive answer. Long answer: I have seen two models in museums in Sweden, one from pictures in Munich, Germany and one from a museum in Bergen, Norway. Plus i have seen videos from a Oseberg replica. They have all the positive formed bump like my ship, only difference is the size of the bump. Picture from Bergen. Picture from Munich. And now to the problem, the original resting in Oslo also have the bump skeleton construction seen here. But notice that the bump is negative and not positive. It "falls" from the beginning. The thing i don´t understand is why do all the competent model makers in different museums around the world always construct the bump positive. Notice that it doesn´t fall from the beginning like on the original. So why didn´t i do like on the original? I failed to envision in my head how i should have laid out the planks against the negative bend. So i fell for the group pressure... Excuse me for my bad english, i hope you can understand me.

And what is this? If you look carefully you will see small drilled holes for the ropes holding the sail in the future. And now you think... Is the man so mad that he shows pictures of some drilled holes? And the answer to this is, well, yes. Because it took an ETERNITY to drill these holes because they weren´t drilled before the assembly of the ship. It took hours just to drill one hole with the weird thing i constructed to even be able to drill the holes. I had to turn the drill with a small nipper one quarter of a turn at a time. So this is a warning to anyone building this ship in the future, drill the holes before its to late.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
