Very good work, Mark, congrats Given the poor quality of the sails supplied by occre, your work is outstanding. JL

Hi, Mike, well done. Not so bad, after all. As for the rudder/hull, I hope thie helps. Regards JL

Looking fine. Not so bad, the kit, after all. JL

They sat on the chests where they carried their belongs. There are samples of those chests on the net: http://www.hexapolis.com/2014/07/30/onboard-one-to-one-storage-system-where-vikings-succeeded-but-we-failed/ The oars passed through the holes on the hull (of course! ) and these holes served as levers. JL

Thanks. I'm going to stain the hull, stain some pieces on the deck and leave the deck and the inside of the hull as it is now. Vikings painted their ships, blue yellow and red were the most used colours besides black. As for the two dragon tails, well, Oseberg ship has two tails, the Glokstad has none it is a matter of choice. The bulkheads are very few, very thick and very ugly even painted. I removed them, replaced by more scale bulkheads and added a number more. Besides the visual and scale improvement, I had to do that because of the extra strake. Amanzingly the hull, in spite of having its support removed is very strong now, stronger than with the original bukheads. You can see that in my first picture in your post. I think it is much better now. JL
-
Well, I like it. What did you use for staining? And why did you stain the inside? It isn't going to be seen, anyway. Just testing? And are you keeping the original plywood frames at sight or are you going to replace them? Regards JL
-
So the hull is finished. The hardest part is done, now it is only fun till the end. As for the roars, I think that Amati is using some artistic license and freeing their imagination. As for me, all the oars are born equal :) . In the old viking ships, oars were stored amidships in two containers, one each side and I can't imagine those fellows choosing carefully wich oar for his post. Made them equal and you are for sure more accurate than Amati. I didn't stained the hull yet because there is some more work to do on the hull, namely the rudder supports. By the way, at the stage that you are I made two holes vertically on the keel to support the boat with two steel wires once completed. And I covered the visible keel ply with a lamination to disguise it. Go on with the good work JL
-
Judjing by your stage coaches I think that you can manage a lot better than just a vague representation of a Drakkar. I'll be following your effort and I am sure that something good is to come out of it. I agree with you that the kit is rubish. You had a problem with the top strake that I didn't quite understand. Have you solved it yet? Regards JL
-
OK, here it goes, I suppose it answers your question. Fell free to ask any questions, no problem. I hope you are OK with metric, I tend to forget that you use imperial. I am not trying to model the Oseberg. Neither did Amati, buy the way. Oseberg was a funeral ship. probably never sailed and it is black. Besides, the kit as only a vague ressemblance with the ship. They called it Oseberg as they might have called it anything else. I am trying to reproduce a typical Viking ship, whatever that was. Vikings did not build their ships by plans, there were no two identical ships and if you look at the sailing examples nowadays, they are all different and with different layouts and dispositions. I began building the Amati by fun but then I went to Oslo and Bergen and had the opportunity to visit the museums I decided to turn the kit in a more decent thing. Only the hull is from the kit, all the rest is scratch built. I changed a lot of things and I have no intention of using any of the supplied parts. So I am making the oars, the shields, the chests and all the parts of the model. And if I was to begin it again I'd not use the hull either. Regards JL
-
No need to measure. The plan shows 14 holes each side, I used the inner 12. I discarded the extremes because it should be a very ridiculous position for someone to row. Like that I only had to make 24 oars, 24 shields and 24 trunks for the crew to sit... Almost done JL
