The Gokstad Ship 900 AD by Siggi52 - 1:50

[Siggi52]

Hello,

because I started with my Tiger in Dec 2017, and I should carve there the quarter pices now, to which I'm at the moment not in the mood. And at least I would like to build a ship or model readdy.

 

During the summer I bought the book from Werner Dammann about the Gokstad Ship, because these Viking ships interested me since my youth. To my birthday the book by Vibeke Bishoff about the Oseberg ship came along to that.

 

I started some time befor with the keel and then the plug for planking. Now the first two rows of planks are laid. I build in castello, the planks are 0,5 mm thick.

Hello

and many thanks for all the likes

Today only a small update, I started with the 3. plank on both sides. The visible part of the 2. Plank is here ca 2 mm.

 This is going to be beautiful, Siggi.

I hope so, Keith

Hello,

today I finished the 3. plank. The two parts up the stems are the most complicated parts. That part in the middle is ,at the moment, not so complicated. But this time I tried to bend the plankt before, and it's working. I just wetted the plank a little, fixed it, and then grilled it with my heating pistol. 😉

But also this part I glued on in two parts.

And these are the new planks, only 13 left per side. So, if you hear the next time not so much from me, I'm bussy planking.

That is not a very large model, to say the least.

13 plansk may not sound like much, but seeing the amount of detail you put into each plank I can see that it will take a while to do.

Very nice Siggi!
