False keel was attached to the stand, first picture shows the before first modification:
 

 
Second picture shows the after, as I cut the tail off. As I intend on building an engraved cover, that part had to get out of the way.
 

 
I waxed the false keel, then and started placing the bulkheads. They were glued and fixed to the block I made for 90° aligning. I took pictures only after they were already glued and I could verify they were rightly fixed.
 

 

 

 

 
As the ship seems too fragile at this point, I decided to place beams between the bulkeads to assure they wouldn´t bend while planking.
 

 
And that´s it for now. Hope to be posting more pictures soon. :D

It´s great to see such a progress! Nicely done. Precious to be back and follow you work, Mark!

Hello fellow ship modelers. Here's some good and bad news.
 
I wanted to post an update when the whole transom was completely done. I have completed only the rear part, (not the sides) as you will see in the following pictures. The sides, the area where I posted before that the parts broke and cursed and blah blah blah, will have to be finished later.
I am still thinking of ways to do that area. So many options, so little... whatever
 
My sister, who is totally dependent upon me because her diabetic feet and other illness,  and lives with me, broke her hip, had to undergo surgery and today is being moved to my home.
So my building time and mood will be severely undermined for some time in the future.
So I decided to post what I have done so far.
 
As always, thanks for visiting, and every single word of positive criticism will be taken in account. 
 
I love you guys!!!
 
This area had to be filled

 
I used play doh to make a mold. then I moved the parts a bit downwards. I then filled the space with "Plastiacero" (Plasi-steel) which is a two part epoxy component with a metal charge that hardens very hard.

 
Here the two parts with the extension added and filed, and partially painted. Also the upper curved part partially painted

 

 
The upper part glued in place. The white wood parts you see are fillers which will be reworked later

 

 

 
Here the 2 vertical sections have been glued. You can see at the right the black spot plastiacero left. I used plastiacero to bond metal to metal, and 5 min epoxy to bond metal to wood.
 

 
Lower and upper  balustrades added.

Thank you all for visiting!!!

Well, almost 2 years since I´ve put something in here regarding my Oseberg. I´ve replanked it from the start and am now at my 8th row on the left side. Picture is not that fair, since I have no more good cams available, so, I ask u to considerate that - promise will get one as soon as I can.

Patrick,
 
I used a ball mill and the mill with my fixture for doing profiles.   I think I posted this once before but here it is again.

Vivian,
 
Any image will do! I'm thrilled to see you back here, which is far more important!

It's great seeing you back and building.  I hope all is well.

I have the kit and I think it may well be my next build so I will be interested in your progress - hope you don't mind my watching.

Nice to see you back Vivian, the Oseberg is looking good

Great work, Louis!
