Magnificent detailed construction work!

Hello and thank you for your kind comments and likes

today I finished the knees. That was a nerve-consuming process. But now it's done. The next not so easy work would be the stand, standing in front of the mast.

Wow, Siggi. What gorgeous workmanship. 

[Siggi52]

Thank you Keith.

Hello,

the first stand (?) is installed. This is the fourth version of it. 😟  I worked here after a drawing from Frederik Johannessen, he reconstructed the ship.

And at least the whole ship

  This is the best Gokstad model I've yet seen ... kudos !

[Siggi52]

Thank you Johnny

 Normally when folks take closeup photos of their work it's none too kind. With Siggi's Gokstad, the closer the photo taken the more beautiful it is. Case in point are the third and second to last photos in post #125, those are just remarkable images.  

[Siggi52]

Thank you Keith for your kind words

[Baker]

Indeed, just like real

 

[Siggi52]

Thank you Patrick

Could you post a description of how you made it?  And seeing your first 3 stands that didn't work out would be very instructive all well. 

 

Absolutely beautiful!

[Jim Lad]

Continuing beautiful craftsmanship, Siggi!

Hello Cisko,

as you can see in the picture, the stand is made of 3 parts. I haven't found more parts in the trash bin anymore. In this case, the stand itself must first be dressed. That's the difficult part. Everything else will explain itself, hopefully.
