Janet, I´m struggling with my sails. At first I was all about using the kit´s cloth, but now, I´m not so sure. Thing is the sailcloth AL provides feels too industrial, so now, I´ll research a little bit more before installing the sails. The bamboo should be behind the sail as for all images I´ve seen till now.

Beautiful ship, Sjors. A great, great work. Congratz! To say it again, loved the last picture - never imagined she was so big!

U rlly did it, Jack. Fantastic model, great shots - a masterful combination! Museum quality model to expose - u´ve gotta be proud of her (and your dedication and workmanship ^_^ ). Thank u for sharing all steps to get in here - I enjoyed very much following your build log.

Everything is on hold now, I´m on moving process (for the better, as I´ll get a bigger room for my shipyard ). I found the problem to be the 4th row, so, I´ll just remove 2/3 planks and rebuild. I really appreciate all the tips (first plank already removed using acetone and alcohol - it worked). Anytime soon I´ll be posting again - ty all of u, guys. ^_^

That´s a corageous model making - can´t imagine the care for so small a scale. Great work, Omega!!

Here I go again - well, a little morose in comparison to the other builds, but steady! I´m still planking the hull and finding it a bit harder than my two other buildings - I think that´s for the one layer planking. Till now my ships were double planked and that makes the work really easier - glue´s being some problem, too, as the white glue don´t fix the way I want and clamps don´t hold it as planned (well, as I planned, at least) - So I´m working with CA and white glue on planking; don´t know how it will hold as the years go by, but, I´ll follow that way. Also, it´s hard to align the planks to acquire symmetry. Seeing now, by the camera´s eye, maybe I´ll start it all again. At naked eye it seems more symmetrical. Last picture shows a point where I broke the plank and had to fix. At this moment i´m thinking in stripping the hull planks.

Raymond, amigo, that´s great! Take a chair as everyone, there´s some snacks, just right there - that´s it! :P Welcome to my new project!!

Hey, Sam, that´s a part of it. The other is that work is taking too much time from me and I can´t get to the shipyard as I would like. But she´s growing, my Oseberg version. Hey Bill, be welcome to my log, take some refreshments and feel free to point anything u want - at least regarding the build :P . Sometimes I think u guys put too much faith on me, lol!! But I´ll share everything I learn in my journey. Carl, be welcome too. Glad u joined. Gaetan, that´s a great build and made me think in hollowing at least a segment of my ship. Thank you for sharing the pictures.

Guys, thanks for the advise. I put the tension out, but the mast still seems a bit curved back, a lot better than before anyways. As I began two other projecst I gave this one a little pause. Janet, I´ll use the kit´s sailcloth. At first I thought using other material but couldn´t see a real improvement on that. What I´ll do, though, is to cut and sewn cloth stripes so my sails won´t look so plain. My caravel (first wooden ship) came with pre-sewn sails and it looks good enough, but now when I look at it I think it would be better to sewn them myself, we learn as we model, that´s so true. Thank you for your kind words and I do find it great we can build the same kit and yet come out with so unique models. ^_^

Jack, till now all rigging I´ve read about comes from reconstructions. So, here is something from the Saga Oseberg: http://www.osebergvikingskip.no/eng/documents/news.php?entry_id=1345642081 Here is a pdf file with a should be rigging plan Osprey - New Vanguard 047 - Viking Longship.pdf (it´s on page 19) Maybe you´ve already found that ones, but, since I´m reading through the history behind the two women found with the ship, I´m still low on researching :P

I truly admire the cleanness of your work - it´s so precise! A masterpiece, for sure.
-
She´s really, really great. Can only add my admiration and cheers to those from everyone.
-
Great work, Schnu. That´s the fun in it, to build our own ship, even when building a kit.
-
She´s looking terrific, Jack. Beautiful work.
-
Jesse, good luck while waiting. Sails are in my way too, and I´m still thinking what to do about them before needlework. Computers are bad entities, sometimes they just want to mess with us. Really great work so far.

Cap´n Magee, thank you . Happy u didn´t miss the boat this time - just take a seat! Jack, it´s some good advice and I´ll look into it for sure, thanks. I was already thinking in use the dremel (I did some tests in the past engraving wood with a dremel ) - don´t worry about the teachers, if they come we teach them! :P Hans, it´s a good choice for a build - viking ships are great, elegant and simple, yet a conqueror of the seas. If I can be of any help, I´ll be glad. And no stealing, only sharing in here. TY! Schnu, feel free to follow, ask, suggest any thing u seem fit. Thank u for visiting.

So, I took some pictures from my latest efforts. Masts are rigged and waiting for sails. Main mast is a little bit too tensioned, as you can see. I don´t know if with sail on it will bring it to it´s rightful position or if I should release some tension before installing the sail - my fear is to let it go and have loose ropes on my model. Would be great to have some opinions in that. There are some few additions beyond sails, as the eyes on front rails and the painting on stern (I´ll make it as the kit´s decal don´t fit in my ship).
