    Hello, and many thanks for your comments and likes Over the weekend I oiled the outer part of the ship the second time, and today I build the upper part of the Mast Fish.

    Hello, yesterday I oiled the hull, except the beams where later the mast fish lies. I think that it is time to build a stand. So that is, what I'm planing for the next time, during witch the oil could dry.

    Thank you Keith

    Hello, this is a great day, the oar ports are closed. To get the lids as close a possible centred over the hole, I turned a stick slightly smaller then the hole of 2,3mm. That was the hardest part today. 😀 Then I glued the lid, centred the stick to the lid, put the stick through the hole and glued the lid fast. Done And the results

    Hello, and thank you for your kind comments and likes The lids are done. But the next great thing is, glue them to the ship. You could't grip them with tweezers or thongs! I have an idea, but if that works, I will see tomorrow.

    Hello Albert, thank you and all others also for your likes After I cut out the oar ports, the ship looks really different. More like an ocean liner, or a space ship. 😀 Today I started with the production of the port lids. After doing some Photoshop work and test lids. 😐 But now, I think it works. The battle field in the winter garden, and the results. Half the lids are done. After finishing the battens under the gun wale, I thought is that now masochism? This is in my opinion not far away from it. 😏

    Hello, after setting in the rudder boss, and the stick as rudder, the ship looks quiet different. More like a ship, I think. After work, the ship sits often in the living room. And after looking half an houer at it, I'm often back at the yard and change this or that. 😚 After I have seen the pictures today, I found an other thing I have to change 😐 And I thought, I just like to build a Viking ship. Now I'm building nearly 6 month! And it's not the end. Today I cut in the oar ports. Next I have to build the oar-port cover. 😟

    Hello, and thank you for your kind comments and likes Today I build the rudder boss and I'm happy that I got it! First I turned it with some surplus, and then fit it to the ship. That was the hardest part. The rod has 1mm Ø. I'm still looking for the drill bit I first used. There must be a black hole somewhere. Then I glued it with ca to a piece of wood, to file it to the final shape. That was then the easiest part, gluing it to the ship.

    Hello, it is done! Both sides are ready.

    Hello, and many, many thanks for your nice comments and likes Because we had here the last week the finest summer weather, I was't very often at the ship yard. But today the weather shanged and I have worked a little at the yard. The preparations for the following work I made during the week. These bars where for fastening the shields or tent to the wall. The battens are 0,6 X 1,2 mm. The drill bit has 1 mm Ø And that is what I finished today. The worst part of this is, gluing them to the gun wale

    Hello, and many thanks for your likes today I set in the last knees and the first side frames, as W. Dammann they named, up to the gun wales.
  18. Siggi52
    Hello, today I build in another 8 knees and only 8 are left 😃 Only to show you the dimentions of the knees. When all went right, I takes half an hour for such a knee. But that happend rarely The planks I build in between those points are in reality parts of the beams, means it is one pice of wood.
  19. Siggi52
    Hello Dick, with the rocker in the keel you will have no trouble with hogging. That is statics. I did't heard anything about hogging from viking ships. My ship is at least, now that the frames are build in, realy stabil.
  20. Siggi52
    Hello and many thanks for your comments and likes, today I finished the first 10 knees. Only 24 left 😟 That was't an easy task, but as I had established a routine, it worked well.
  21. Siggi52
    Thank you, Chuck and John

    Hello, there was not much action at the shipyard the last time, but at least I made the mast and yard for the ship. Next on my list are the inverted knees 😐
  23. Siggi52
    Thank you Albert
  24. Siggi52
    Hello, I set in all the deck beams and most of the stantions. At the second picture you see, that the underwater ship has it's broadest pard one or two meters infront of the mast. The beams are at least 97-100 cm apart from each other. Greatings also from the ships cat. He is getting old now (18) and enjoys the warm weather we have here the last days.

    Thank you Ian and Chuck. Chuck, the nails/rivets are pencil marks 😇

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.
