palmerit Posted Friday at 11:06 PM #1 Posted Friday at 11:06 PM (edited) After a couple months, my Pavel Nikitin "Oseberg" (v3) Viking Ship kit (with the paint kit for the model) arrived from Ukraine. My wife asked "what the heck did you buy" when seeing all the cellophane wrapping around the box and Cyrillic writing on the shipping labels. After I opened it, she said "oh cool". It was packed really well. And heavy. I think the packing slip says over 7kg. I'm not going to get to this for a while. So I'll park this build log under "In the Queue" for now. Can't wait.

Kenchington Posted yesterday at 12:24 AM #2 Posted yesterday at 12:24 AM (edited) When you do get to start building, Volume 9 in the Viking Ships Museum (in Roskilde, Denmark) series "Ships and Boats of the North" is titled: "The Oseberg Ship. Reconstruction of form and function". I haven't seen that one yet but I do have the first six volumes in the series. They are written by and for archaeologists but, if you want the latest understanding and interpretation of the ship, it might be worth getting your hands on a copy. Author is Vibeke Bischoff, published 2023 or '24 (different listings disagree) and ISBN is 978-87-85180-77-3. No price stated on the Museum's website but Indigo have it listed at $78 Canadian, so you might get a copy for under $60 in the US. A bargain for a hard-cover of 294 pages, probably with lots of colour, if the earlier volumes in the series are any guide.
