Hello, and many, many thanks for your nice comments and likes

Because we had here the last week the finest summer weather, I was't very often at the ship yard. But today the weather shanged and I have worked a little at the yard. The preparations for the following work I made during the week. These bars where for fastening the shields or tent to the wall.

 

The battens are 0,6 X 1,2 mm. The drill bit has 1 mm Ø

And that is what I finished today. The worst part of this is, gluing them to the gun wale :wacko:

Hello, and thank you for your kind comments and likes

 

Today I build the rudder boss and I'm happy that I got it! :Whew: First I turned it with some surplus, and then fit it to the ship. That was the hardest part. The rod has 1mm Ø. I'm still looking for the drill bit I first used. There must be a black hole somewhere.

Then I glued it with ca to a piece of wood, to file it to the final shape.

That was then the easiest part, gluing it to the ship.

Hello,

after setting in the rudder boss, and the stick as rudder, the ship looks quiet different. More like a ship, I think. After work, the ship sits often in the living room. And after looking half an houer at it, I'm often back at the yard and change this or that. 😚 After I have seen the pictures today, I found an other thing I have to change 😐

And I thought, I just like to build a Viking ship. Now I'm building nearly 6 month! And it's not the end.

Today I cut in the oar ports. Next I have to build the oar-port cover. 😟
