    Hello, last week we had here a lot of sunshine, so I was't realy often at the shipyard. But at least I managed to finished two other strakes. Only 4 left Now it starts to look more like a ship then a raft.

    Hello, and many, many thanks for your comments and likes Today I finished the Meginhufr. All other planks for now are 0,5mm thick ( 25mm ),the meginhufr is 0,8mm thick (40mm in real) And for cure over night, a corset. That is a bicycle tires and a sandbag

    Hello, and many thanks for your comments and likes Life was against working at the shipyard most of the week, but now I have all collecting planks ready. I started also with planking the meginhufr. I hope to finish the strake tomorrow. Here are some of the parts, who did't it ☹️

    Hello, and thank you for all the likes and nice comments today I finshed the first of 4 collecting planks. I don't know how they where corectly named.
  25. Siggi52
    Thank you

    Hello, thank you Keith, and all others thank you for your likes. Yesterday I finised the planking of the "floor". The next plank is the Meginhufr, a strong plank like the wales. When the most planks have a thickness of 0,5mm, this one is 0,8mm thick. From now on, it goes upwarts. In this case downwards! The next four planks have a collecting piece (?) to the stems. That would be the next challenge. But now the pictures from the last two strakes.

    Hello, two more strakes are ready. Now I have 7 ready, two more and I can start working upwards. First I cleaned the inside this morning. But after that, the ship went back at the plug
  28. Siggi52
    You are right, Keith. The wood would darken over the time from alone. And it's more naturly.

    Good morning, many thanks for the likes and nice comments. Håkan, that is only one scraper, and he is a little too wide. Half an millimeter would be better, but this is the smallest one I could build. But it dominate the planking a lot as I saw at the last pictures. In nature it's not so much. Christensen measured these profiles, and it were 1600 m at all. Lukily they used at the Gokstad ship only one form. These were at least a little more complicated then the one I build. At the Oseberg ship they used 7 different molds! At the picture you see also my test planking, now oiled. I don't know if I shoulld stain the oil a little.

    Hello, and thank you for all the likes and comments. And before my green kale gets ready, a small update. Yesterday I finished the 5th strake. This morning I took the ship from the plug, to eliminate the glue remains from the inside. It was't so bad as I first exspected.
  31. Siggi52
    Hello, the fourth strake is ready. That is at least more work then I had expected. To show you the dimentions, a picture with a ruler.
  32. Siggi52
    Hello, today I finished the 3. plank. The two parts up the stems are the most complicated parts. That part in the middle is ,at the moment, not so complicated. But this time I tried to bend the plankt before, and it's working. I just wetted the plank a little, fixed it, and then grilled it with my heating pistol. 😉 But also this part I glued on in two parts. And these are the new planks, only 13 left per side. So, if you hear the next time not so much from me, I'm bussy planking.
  33. Siggi52
    I hope so, Keith
  34. Siggi52
    Hello and many thanks for all the likes Today only a small update, I started with the 3. plank on both sides. The visible part of the 2. Plank is here ca 2 mm.

    Hello, yesterday I started a new blog about the Gokstad ship. Build around 850 and used as burrial ship ca. 900 AD. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/37871-the-gokstad-ship-900-ad-by-siggi52-150/ After finishing that model I will will further work on my Tiger, promised

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.
