The Gokstad Ship 900 AD by Siggi52 - 1:50

Really like the organic shapes of the framing! It feels like the tree is growing around the mast step, hugging it with branches  

A bit too much decking obscuring it, the photos in post #135 are golden!

Thank you Mike,

the look at the mast step, is mostly hidden by the mast fish. The flat part of it, belonged to the mast fish. It is in reality one pice of wood, 1 X 5 m oak! So also without decking, you would't see much more of it.

Siggi,

 

Very nicely made! This shows real craftsmanship. Not only in the way of building but also in the research to the right details. You don't make the blocks as you find them in a model shop, but rely on the remains that have been found on the actual ship. Congratulations!

Hello,

today I build the two blocks, a one and a two sheave, for the halyard and two of the shroud pins. The thicker part of them is still a little green, so the rest has to wait a little longer.
