    Hello, yesterday I set the model into the now finished show case, and thereby is the building process complete. The last picture shows the model where it stands during the building process, and that should be for the first time it's place.

    Hello Keith, Tiger is since 3-4 weeks again in my shop in the basement to acclimatize. So when I have nothing else to do, I will start there again.
  24. Siggi52
    Many, many thanks for your kind comments and the many likes Slowly I realize that the ship has finished and the tension is decreasing. Also the tension in my neck, from rigging. Here the summer is back, today it should be 34°C, and I will enjoy it lazy in my garden. 😄 Have a nice day, Siggi

    Hello, now the pictures of the finished Gokstad ship. Enjoy it.
  26. Siggi52
    And thank you, thank you Keith
  27. Siggi52
    Thank you, Ian

    Hello and thank you for all the likes, today I finished the ship mostly. The rigging is complet and only the oars and some smaler things must be fastened. Some pictures with the last sun for today. More tomorrow

    Hello, the sail is set. But at least not completly rigged. The upper parrel rope, I think, I must also make in 0,4 mm Ø rope like the lower rope. But that is something for tommorow.

    Hello, the summer is back 😀 We will see how long it last and we have here 19°C again. Today I finished the sail and the next days I hope it will be at the ship. The front side and the back side

    Just let it. Find it out yourself.

    Hello Harvey, thank you for that tip. It works well.
  33. Siggi52
    Hello Harvey, a nice model you build there. I have one question, how did you attached the boldrope to your sails. I'm trying at the moment to build the sail for my Gokstad ship, and tryed to sew the boldrope to my Silkspan sail. It did't work ☹️ Did you glue it on and with what?

    Hello Dick, if you wont to know more about these ships, you should get it. It's worth the money. I got my copy for 40€ + 13€ taxes and shipping. Ones again to your „the sail should be as wide as the ship is long, 23,4 m“. Imagine, the ship is 5,2 m broad, than the sail would stand to both sides 9m over the board. How would you handle such a sail? And close-hauled sailing would't be possible. Ms Bischoff looked for the points where the sail was attached to the ship, close-hauled. And that was the width of the sail. Just simple.

    Hello Dick, one sourse you did't mention, the sagas. And Ms Bishoff worked up all the sources you mention and came to the result I have showed. After Ian wrote his coment, I re-read the chapter about the sail. Did you have her Book? It is very interesting to read and she used every source available. ISBN 0901-778X and 978-87-85180-77-3. I got my copy through Amazon from California. I'm sorry, but my english is't so good to make here scientific discoursions and I'm not an expert for Viking ships. You may be right that the sails they build today look more like modern sails, but she also has arguments for the shape of the sails she build and why the sails were not as wide as the ship is long at the picture stones and coins. have a nice day

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.
