Really nice result in this small scale. The hull is looking great. I would use only color to simulate the nails. You can use a nail of pin for painting. With a little bit of practice you can get a nice result.

Kris I can only help by converting in 2D because my 3D skills are minimal. If You work in 2D you can draw this in a similiar manner I use for cant frames. With help of the side view you get the correct legth of every frame. Drawing vertical lines on top view gives you the correct section and stepping line. Mark your buttock lines in the side view. Than draw all lines from all necessary points to an body-master. Orientate a copy of your "body master" that it is perpendicular to the frame in the side view. Now you can draw the lines from the side view to the body-master. Copy all lines in another body-master and rotate them, that everything is perpendicular. Connect all section points and you get the outline shape of the frame (if it inclusive plank thinkness of exclusive depends of your view are showing the outside of the hull or drawn on the frames (as by plans of the NMM). I hope you understand whant I mean. It is more tricky to describe than to draw.

Really nice progress, Jorge. But you made a little mistakes by the gun ports. They are not perpendicular. The bottom lid and the top lid are parallel to the gun deck. So you have always a rhomboid. Why do you choose 1/35 and not 1/36 or 1/32? I know the scale from military model building but not from ship modelbuilding

Thanks for the info. That's exactly, what I searched. I think I have to practice a little bit more with the search function of the forum

I'll get a new tool. To practice I am seraching some the historic (American war of revolutions or later) dimensions of water barrels, barrels for gun pouder, meet and so on. What other other storage for ships are existing. Can smeone help me ? I Like to build some of theses barrels. and other equipement.

I think I can give you some information about this drawing,. This is a reconstruction drawing of Skuldelev I from 1971. It was as far as I know the base for the presentation of the ship in the musuem. I own a copy of this but there are in the meantime some newer reconstructions which are giving a slightly different hull. But you can build a very nice model with this information. I am searching a reconstruction of the Haithabu knarr and longship. I hoppe to find someday one good drawing. of the find

Chuck I didn't read the book for a long time, as far as I remember right, the drawings are showing a prototype for a nef. For a specific model you have to refer to the seals. If you need help by understanding a sentence ask me. For reading the book you can use deepl.com. It's a really good translation program.
-
Thanks for sharing this find. You can be very happy that you can understand what Wiebke writes. I have to use a translator
-
I hope that you will publish your drawings some day. Your Bellona is really a masterpiece
-
Chuck , You could not interpret this really precies from the seals. It could also mean that the shipside is lower. Have a look at the people how big they are. You can develop a possible hull design, which will be mostly the same for every seal. Than you can add the specific detail. Where do you find the right dimensions of such a ship? You choose the big knarrs of the vikings. There are a lot of new findings you can use for the length as basic for such a ship. If they will find a shipwreck of a nef such as the cog of Bremen, we have to learn everything new.

I don't understand, what you mean with "stap over". The beams are the deckbeams and the deck planks are sitting on.
-
I found time to take some pictures of the model and the lines of the reconstruction from Zimmermann. Hope the pictures are helpful.
-
If you like to build WInchelsea, I would not add a boat, because the seal doesn't show it. Also the Bremer cog shows remoevable planking. I think it was a common way to go into the hull.
-
Hi Chuck, yes it has. The drawings are in scale 1/50. You're welcome to learn a little bit German. A few years ago I had to learn Netherlands for my job. Now I am really happy, that I can read Netherlands books about historic ships. There is a really nice book about the Ijssel Kogge form the 15 th century.

Hi Steven, the model, you show the picture, is not build following the drawings from Zimmermann. The sources for this model are from Jochen v. Fricks "Normannenschiffe", Delius Klasing Verlag. The original book was first published in the GDR but I don't have information when. Here is a link to the website, where the model was published and where I found the Information about the source. If I remember right, Zimmermann shows an other castle. In the weekend I will have a look if I can scan you two fotos from the model Zimmermann has built. I am really interested to yee your progress.

Sorry to say, but this is definitly wrong. Suldelev I and III were found in the beginning of the sixtieth and the drawings of these ships were available. Also if you can not read the book, the drawings are very well researched.
-
Hi, there is a really nice book and planset about this kind of ships: Werner Zimmermann "Nef de Cinque Ports". Another good information is the drawing in Landström.
-
All parallel frames and fore cant frames are finished. In the moment I am busy to draw the after cant frames. Then the hawse pieces and transoms will follow. I hope that I continue with model building next year. But all planning is dependent from my job.
-
You only need to scan the body plan. Measure the length between the first and last station line in the sheer plan. Then measure the distance between the station lines to check and correct the first measurment. With this information you can draw the station lines in your cad-system. The offset between the station lines is the same. If you have scanned the body plan you can add it to your sheer plan and then the funny part can start. These are the steps I started my Triton drawing
-
You can use horizontal lines or a combination with horizontal and buttock lines. If these lines are not in the plan set, you can create these with the body plan.

Congrats for finishing this beautyful model. It's looking really wonderful.
