My scratchbuilding has begun. It is more time consumng than expected, because I have three sets of plans (from the archeologist who dug the ship, from the more recent monography about the ship and from the Oslo museum). And shape of the ship is different in every set, so I had to compare and...

Hi Garethm. Great idea and perfect execution.

Cameo 4 datasheet states it cuts cardstock up to 360gsm but I am cautious about such statements :)

Hello friends, does anyone have experience with cutting thick card (1mm and 2mm for internal frame parts of the model) with cameo?

Thanks for the tip Zathros, I did exacly as you sugest. In that respect everything is good and symetrical. But because the keel si longer, my complete planking would have ended aproximately as red arrow shows. So there is quite big gap left fo fill and planks have different curvature at the ends.

Hello, planking the hull did not go well. The reason was waterbased glue that stretched the keel when laminating. I could notice earlier, there were some misalignment on the frame, but I underestimate it. As a consequence planking did not ended as high as it should. After I recovered from...

Thank you very much Allen, great job. Also thanks for the PDO. My kids will surely want it when I show it to them.

Site you found is best reference I know of. Your model is fabulouse. It is pitty that some photos are blurry.

If you can take suitable photos I can try photogrametry if you want.

Trigonometry?

In Czech Republic we had few similar attempts, some of them even had no conection to covid situation - like enble trust fund owned companys to hide their actual owners (because our Prime Minister was forced to carry his big agricultural companies to trust funds managed by his family members)...

I found somethig interesting. Now it seems that Gokstad shields was covered with leather. here is newest experimental archeology reconstruction: More about the discovery here...

:animated: Remainds me one of theese:

I like lighting and yelowish/brownish tint in Rhavens photos.

Looking like plastic is insult for me, paper modeler (only if it shoul look like plastic, because original is plastic). It is a joke of course:). But fact is that I like more when people say to me it does not look like paper, rather than it looks like plastic:)

Well guys, that is a beautifull model. Your effort is surely not wasted. I wish you many builders :).

I am experimentig on how to make convincing wood texture. If you can find small dot in the middle of the plank it is rivet size test. Figure for size reference:

Hi Zergei, beautifully made. Perfect.

It is huge ship. This is also good animation showing building procedure step by step.

I have finaly get to build this model. More about the history of the ship here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gokstad_ship Tomasz Weremko, designer of the model, used archeological drawings to design this model, so it is as historicaly correct according to available infomations. I upscaled...
