Von_Kossa Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share #211 Posted June 25, 2015 beautiful Build, very nice work on planking and oars as well as the Fitting out Details.. Nils Thank you Nils, but not nearly as beautiful as your work. I am just a happy amateur working on the world record in longest time for building a modelship.

Von_Kossa Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share #212 Posted June 25, 2015 I will now focus on attaching the nails and put some thought into what can be done with the bad areas after the staining, this troubles me a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von_Kossa Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share #214 Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Is the deck really that wavy? David B You mean the bump in the middle of the ship built into the mast construction? Edited June 27, 2015 by Von_Kossa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von_Kossa Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share #216 Posted June 27, 2015 Yes I have never seen that before. David B Short answer: Yes, but probably different on the original, this is very unclear to me how the bump were on the original and despite heavy research i have failed to get a definitive answer. Long answer: I have seen two models in museums in Sweden, one from pictures in Munich, Germany and one from a museum in Bergen, Norway. Plus i have seen videos from a Oseberg replica. They have all the positive formed bump like my ship, only difference is the size of the bump. Picture from Bergen. Picture from Munich. And now to the problem, the original resting in Oslo also have the bump skeleton construction seen here. But notice that the bump is negative and not positive. It "falls" from the beginning. The thing i don´t understand is why do all the competent model makers in different museums around the world always construct the bump positive. Notice that it doesn´t fall from the beginning like on the original. So why didn´t i do like on the original? I failed to envision in my head how i should have laid out the planks against the negative bend. So i fell for the group pressure... Excuse me for my bad english, i hope you can understand me.
