    I hope so, John

    Hello, today I started building the oars. First I saw them 4X3 mm and then turned the handle at the lathe. The secnd step is, grinding the rest till nothing is left 😏 , see the one below Then I saw out the outlines and shape the rest with files and sandpaper. Now only 31 are left.

    Hello shipman, I think, you better discus this with the archeologists, scientist and reenactors with 1:1 replicas of viking ships. A tiller that goes down, is not really ergonomic in this case. I'm happy with this strait tiller.
  24. Siggi52
    Hello and thank you for your comments and likes, to show the high of the tiller in relation to the helmsman I made a picture with one of my carpenters. He is 1,70 m large, and the tiller is at 80 cm from the floor. And shipman, even at the original ship they have a strait tiller replica.
  25. Siggi52
    Hello Shipman, I think that the original tiller was centuries ago strait, and not curved as now. Otherwise the helmsman must have worked directly at the floor. It was made from ash. So as it is now at my model, the helmsman could work from his seachest, in a sitting position.
  26. Siggi52
    Hello, because I was not really happy with the tiller, I build today a new one. At that picture you see on top the drawing Dammann did, with a too short plug. The black thing in the middle is the original tiller, or what is left of it, and my calculations for 1:10. Below that in 1:50 and the new tiller. And here is he installed. I think it looks much better

    Thank you, Marc and John for your kind words and all others for your likes

    Hello and thanks for your comments and likes today I build the tiller for the rudder. After turning most of the handle, I had to glue it to a peace of wood. My fingers are too thick to hold it. It's 21 mm long, and the handle after the head has 1 mm Ø. I carved mostly with my small V cutter and my carving knife. Using also small files. And that is the result This is a little faking, because the tiller is too short to go through the slot 😐 But you would't see it 😇 And now in action, but not fast
  29. Siggi52
    Hello, after I build the last days toggles in all variations, I build today the rudder. Tomorrow I will start then with the tiller.
  30. Siggi52
    Hello Richard, yes it's 5 mm acrylic. Painted from below as if waves are running there.
  31. Siggi52
    Hello, today I build the two blocks, a one and a two sheave, for the halyard and two of the shroud pins. The thicker part of them is still a little green, so the rest has to wait a little longer.
  32. Siggi52
    Thank you, Constant
  33. Siggi52
    Thank you Mike, the look at the mast step, is mostly hidden by the mast fish. The flat part of it, belonged to the mast fish. It is in reality one pice of wood, 1 X 5 m oak! So also without decking, you would't see much more of it.
  34. Siggi52
    Thank you very much for your kind comments and likes.

    Hello JJ, Tiger has vacation till the Gogstad ship is ready. I don't thought that it takes so long to build this little ship. But now I have to bring it to an end, otherwise I have two unready ships here 😏

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.
