  1. Hi -

     

    The model is in 1:32 scale and was built from archaeological notes and drawings of a similar ship excavated at Roskilde, Denmark.  I tried to be true to the building methods of the Vikings, so it is lapstrake planked with rivets through the overlaps.  Frames are treenailed to the ribs, which were individually fitted to the planks, which were built first over a mold before the framing was installed.  The most difficult pieces were the complicated stem and stern pieces which have a series of steps for the plank heads to attach to, but which have to be carved before the planks exist.

     

    Glad you enjoy the photos.
