    This appears to be a continuation of a previous build log (like it is page 2 or 3) but I see nothing previous.  Am I missing something?

 

    What are you using for your bolts?

Probably Amati was where the plans came from. Stunning model! Love how the frames were cut - so crisp.

Regards, Keith

The Amati DRAKKER only has 9 frames.  If he used those plans, he did a bunch of extrapolation.

Hi, Chuck Seiler.
It's true that I started three months ago. I have had problems, and I have repeated the drakar on a larger scale.
I have to find the photos of the beginning of the construction.
For the bolts, I am using round head nails.

Hola AnobiumPunctatum. The plans, not their origin. I got them online

Do you have a link for those plans... your ship is really beautiful! What is the hull size in cm? Congrats!

Nice. Sure looks similar to the Gokstad I built from a Dusek kit. I love the dragon head and tail. Dang I wish I could carve.
