Ok, a small update again, done (almost) painting the dekorations for this time. Some touch ups to do but that's for later.
A little guy that will go next to the harpist from earlier:
The framing of the Cherubs:
The repainted lionheads and whatever the other two decorations are:
(Lot of touch-up to do here)
And this is how the Cherubs will be placed:
So far these parts have been painted:
So, now you'll have to wait another 3-4 weeks....

E.J, thanks glad to be helpful. It's nice that we all learn from each other (:-)
Buck, Don't know the bit size (all Greek to me). I just "eyeballed" it. (as I do all of them) hmmm
That said I really need to give a 5 Star review to the Proxxon Rotary tool AND I't Flex shaft. This shaft is SO precise. It accepts the absolute smallest of drill bits and rotates perfectly in line. Absolutely no wobbling whatsoever - bearings are absolutely precise. Love this combination tool, super dependable doing this kind of detailing.
PS: last photo is the supplied Corel platform along with its metal trim ring. FYI

Hi Mates,
Took some time, and now getting back to the yard. Here is a minor update (as mine seem to always be) so still working on the mizenmast putting the bits together;
••Fiddle blocks for mainstays (amazing how long these small bits actually take to put together) – nothing new here you have all certainly thought the same thing working on your builds—
••Lower cap along with its release clasp metal bits- done
••Completed the lower platform
••Finished the lower mast as well
So now - onto installing everything Hmmm….
PS: those two locking pins will be cut to proper size (:-)
Cheers

Peter,
What's that song with --"Open your eyes"??
I've had that photo in my files and never "saw" the fid staring at me right in the middle of the photo. Looked at the photo for help with the platforms and totally ignored the masts - Gee whizz--But thanks so much for your guidance. much appreciated indeed. Now I will also add a fid to the main (:-)
Cheers,
Making some progress

Hi Mates,
Patrick _ Thanks I do, in fact, have those plans AND never saw the fid there either. Nice bit of detailing on the part of Billings.
=========================
Mizenmast bits have all been put together. Some general pics….
A few personal quibbles;
Lower cap is too close to platform and prob. a bit too big,
Flag mast is too thick. hmmm
Will now attach upper mast shrouds to deadeyes and do ratlines as well before attaching mast to deck. Will add some of those bracing pins as noted in photo.
And, as always, thanks for the likes, helpful advice and just dropping by – always so appreciated.
Cheers,

Peter,
Thanks so much for your answer - super helpful - now I understand more (:-)
And thanks for your so kind words. The tops were a bit of a challenge, I'm comfortable with how they came out.
Regarding your post - This is what I understood you to say. Hope that I got it right?

Hi Mates,
I NEED some advice, before I attach the two mizzenmast shafts together, I don’t know what should be the correct mounting?
Pic 1)
Lower main then attaches its mid shaft with the correct clamp and pins, along with the center pulley that will have a rope run through it – then attached to the lower cap on each side. This I understand – in case of a need to lower that mast.
Pics 2 & 3)
But – here is my confusion – for the mizzenmast I also added the metal brace and pins.
SO should the mid shaft of the mizzen be attached permanently to its lower mast with those two pins? (Excuse my lack of correct vocabulary)
Are those two pins correct?
As always thanks for the posts, and for the likes.
Thanks in advance for your advice for this bit.
Cheers,

Well, she is complete in plenty of time for the Admiral's birthday. The Admiral is happy and as we all know when the Admiral is happy everyone is happy.
The build was 9 months of fun and learning. Completion is very rewarding.
I would like to thank everyone who helped with the build especially Von_Kossa. His log is what inspired me to build the Oseberg in the first place and his research kept me on the right track. Also, thanks to Vivian Galad (we are watching your Oseberg) and all those who followed the build, your encouragement was necessary and wonderful.
I probably would not be involved in this hobby at all without the MSW community. There was not much information out there the first time I tried years ago. Now, whatever you need just ask. Thanks for the help.
Time to move forward. I will now attempt to catch up with Grant and Mobbsie with our first shot at the dark side "Bomb Vessel Granado 1742".

And here is the second part of this months shipment.
A overview of the hull:
Stern with extra bits on the frames:
They could have designed this better. Lots of waisted time getting all the little parts straight...
The support at the bow:
This should have been straight angles but turned out far from that. We'll see if this has any impact later on...
Hull again:
And now on to some planking:
Somewhere on the forum Ulises Victoria showed a nice variation of a 5-butt shift planking pattern. I decided to try it out here.
I prefer to cut and prepare 1 plank at the time.
This pattern is quite pleasant to the eye...
And here we have the finished planking:
And the well that does the false lower deck upon where the grating will go:
I thought about darkening the planks but decided to leave them as they are so if anything shows through the grating it will be easier to see the planking. The pencil smudges from the edges make them look a little worn...
And that, dear followers, is all the parts built for now. later there will be some painting of decorations.
Until then...
Edit: edited the name of Ulises Victoria and the document is HERE
