md1400cs Posted February 15, 2014 Share #123 Posted February 15, 2014 Von, Beautiful !!! thank you for re-posting your ship. Such an interesting subject. As you know very few examples of Viking ships are chosen as build projects. Your attention to small details are so nice to look at. Your planking is superb. This ship, along with the much much younger Vasa are open doors into past cultures, and human history. I will enjoy following along as well.

Zeus-cat Posted February 27, 2014 Share #134 Posted February 27, 2014 I hate to ask a dumb question, but my Billings Boat instructions show the deck made from long strips. The width of each plank is about the same as yours; but the length is much longer. The instructions show one strip goes just over halfway and then a second one goes to the other end. Personally, I think your deck looks fantastic and I am considering doing the same thing (although I can't believe it will look as good as yours). What made you decide to do the deck like this?

Jack Panzeca Posted February 27, 2014 Share #135 Posted February 27, 2014 Hi Zeus-cat, I am so inspired by this build that I started one myself. It is a wealth of information. I like this deck plan better than the one in the instructions too. I plan to do something similar on mine. Hello Von_Kossa, Thank you for rebuilding your log. It has been a great help.

Personally, I think your deck looks fantastic and I am considering doing the same thing (although I can't believe it will look as good as yours). What made you decide to do the deck like this? In the instructions as you have noted they just lay out long strokes of strips across the ship, it´s called cheating. The width of the strips is exactly like mine, 12 mm, i just cut them in smaller parts. I want the ship to be closer the real ship, therefore i built up the inside of it as close as i could to the original. As you will notice Billing Boat have also cheated with the amount of bulk heads, so if you want to lay the deck as i have you will need to construct a large amount of bulkheads from scratch to get the correct length of the deck strips between the bulk heads. Sorry for my bad english. Good luck. Edited February 27, 2014 by Von_Kossa Doreltomin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Panzeca Posted March 5, 2014 Share #139 Posted March 5, 2014 If Billing Boats cannot help let me know. I am not planning to use the Obechi deck planking on my model. I am cutting oak planks so I can send the whole bundle to you. It is a long way from Texas so it might take a week or two. If you need it let me know and I will ship right away. Your planking looks great.

I have actually been in touch with Billing Boats and their suppliers, apparently the head owner of BB is sick in cancer and has recently been operated and if i understand it correctly it is only two other people working with the company because of this, his son and someone else. Because of this tragic situation the company is not working. The suppliers here in Sweden have not heard from them in three weeks. Therefore like earlier mentioned i would be very happy if you could help me with this. The bundle i need is as you already know: No. 53, Dimensions: 1,8x12x610mm, Material: Obechi, Description: Deckstrips As you know i cut them in smaller pieces so you do not need to send them as 610mm, you can cut them in half.

Jack Panzeca Posted March 8, 2014 Share #145 Posted March 8, 2014 Your package is on the way. I picked up a red oak plank and have started cutting it into deck planking. I am still a long way from needing it. Your deck is looking great. The mast fish is beautiful, definitely worth all the work that you put into it.

Von_Kossa Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share #147 Posted March 9, 2014 This picture is from a museum in Stockholm showing an interpretation of the Oseberg ship. I have made some very nice looking arrows pointing at two metal pieces holding the thingies (?) on the left and right of the mast fish in place. As you can see on the other picture from Oslo showing the real ship, the metal pieces is also present on the original. I have tried to find some apropriate material to use for this on my own model, i have searched everywhere and i am starting to loose hope for finding anything usable. It has to be some metal which is so thin that you can easily shape it to fit. Is there anyone out there who can tell me what i should be looking for? md1400cs and Mirabell61 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
