  1. Thanks for sharing the inforamtion. If I have a look at the price, I am really shocked. The Vanguard Alert in the bigger scale is a lot cheaper than the small 1/72 kit. I could not find an information which kind of timber shipyard use for the kit. I hope it is a better wood than in their cog kits.
  2. Really nice progress, Henry. It's allways a pleasure to follow your updates.
  3. Hartelijk bedankt voor de mooie presentatie van je model. Thank you very much for the beautiful presentation of your model.
  4. If I look to your frame I am afraid that you do not have enough meet, if you grind the whole structure. If I cut the pieces out, I look that I see always a little white paper on the outside of a frame. With this you have always enough room to equal small but normal tolerancies
  5. I don’t think so. There is also a lot of support for you there. The description of how you make and prepare your gratings shows again what I mean in my last post. I can prepare the gratings with my small CNC-mill and build the jig following your really good description. Thanks very much.
  6. It woul be a lot of fun to make a build log of your kit there. I love your ideas and how open you share your knowledge. Without this I was not able to finish the frame design for my Alert. I also learned a lot to continue with my Sloop Fly. Thanks for that.
  7. Have a look at the wood grain for the chocks. In your pictures it has the wrong direction. You should turn the template by 90 degrees.
  8. I own a small CNC. What has changed is the precision for cutting out parts. So you begin to think about problems, which you not have, if you cut out parts manually. The model is further build by the model builder. The quality depends further on the knowledge and experience of the builder. I prepare my parts directly from my own reconstruction with the CNC. By all the precision It is not possible for me to build my model in the quality you are showing here. I simply love it. I do not like competitions for my hobby and will never participate in one.
  9. Micha, Düsseldorf is close where I live. I thought that also the Skuldelev kit was in 1/25 and has the same skale as the Oseberg kit. The 5 Skuldelev ships as models were a long time a dream. But now I am more interested in English Ship Sloops of the late 18th century.
  10. The Skuldelev ship shows the same ship as the Roar Ege. Skuldelev 3 is the original wreck, which they found and preserved. Roar Ege is a replica which they have build in the 80th of the last century (if I remember right) This kit was my first wooden kit ever as I was a child. You have to cut each plank with a saw. Now the same kit is lying in my stash and waiting. Perhaps one day I find the time to build the model again.
