I will take a seat and follow your log with great interest.

I understand what you mean. That's also the reason, why I didn't start building the Oseberg or one of the other bigger viking ships. The stopped Skuldelev III was a not so nice experience. But I love this kind of klinker build ships.

But before I go back, I will finish my HMS Triton; but this project needs some more years to complete.

Thanks for sharing the photos. The decorations are really nice. The lion looks special on the drawing. At the first looking I thought, it's a horse.

Do you want to build the keel from different layers? The only point for me to use a layer is the really complex design of the stemdecoration. If you have a colser look to the original stem you can see that it is very thin at front.

I hope that you need to much time, to start your build log. I am very interested so see, how you proceed.

Hi Gary,

I am really intersted to have a look at the fotos of drawings.

Congratulations, just a beautyful model.

That's a nice idea. I am also building the cog "Wütender Hund". But if someone needs some picture of the Kamper Kogge, I made some pictures during a small trip in my holidays.

Chris,

I am not shure if I understand your problem right. I had saturday the opportunity to make a short trip with the replica "Kamper Kogge" and that is what the shrouds are looking on the real ship. So don't worry if they are not really parallel.😉

A wonderful picture. It's looking great.

This looks so beautyful, Kris.

Please check the position of the frame. If it is the position of the middel frame near by the mast, it has a slightly different design. Before drawing the frames I would add the clamps on the planks to bind the frames. Than I woud add the  mastspoor. The frames are not sitting perpendicular to the keel. I could not see, if you remember this small detail.

I don't know if you answered the question: which software do you use for the drawings?

@KrisWood Yes that's exactly what I mean. I've stopped my project, because the bulkheads didn't work for me.

I would buil the jig much higher, that you can build the complete keel and stem for putting it on the jig. Perhaps a design as for a paper model with a horizontal board is a good idea.

This is a picture of my jig I tried to build the Skuldelev ship III. My biggest mistake, was to use a stepped design for the jig. It's much easier to mark the position of every plank, than you dont't have truble with the small inaccuracies during the build.

Really interesting build log. Thanks for sharing

That's looking really good.

Chris,

congratulations for reaching this milestone. I started yesterday with page one of the instructionbook.

This anchor is looking really modern. Did you some research? If I am back at home I can check if I find something in my books.

Really nice progress Chris.

What glue do you use ? In the instruction manual Shipyard shows a contact glue (Pattex) and I was really surprised to see this. I am thinking to use Titebond woodglue.

If the the weather is so worse as expected, I will start the build of my model today.

Gary,

can you send me please a link to the figures? Do you know, if they have these also in other scales?

I speak German, but I couldn't read the text. I think that this are an old dialect and letters.

TThe order for both wooden kits, the Wutender Hund and the new Kogge von Kampen, just shipped from Poland this morning. Not sure how long it will take to get to Ages of Sail, but they're on their way now. Probably be 3 or 4 weeks before they show up online. 

 

 

The stern castle of the "Kogge von Kampen" is based on a shipwreck which was found in Kamen Netherlands. It's showing an older type of a stern castle. I am quite shure, that the rest of the kit is based on "Kogge von Bremen"

The cog "Wütender Hund" shows in my opinion the classic cog also with a stem castle. It's a generic cog model. Most historical pictures are showing the stem castle. There is always a discussion, of the Bremen cog was finished before they got lost, because she don't has this.

If you choose the HMS Sphynx of a ship from this class, it is perhaps a good idea to go in contact with Alxander. He made excellent drawings of this ship.

Really nice progress

Willkommen an Board, Matthias.

Welcome on board, Matthias.

Congratulations.

This model is always on my list. Your progress is looking really promising.

Is it possible from the 3D model to get the right shape for the planks?

The cog is looking really nice.
