I am now starting to install veneer onto the dragon head and down onto the keel of the ship.

I have been working on this ship for the last 4 years. Only get time during the winter to work on it. Have made some changes to the plans as to make it more like the original ship in Oslo. Will post more pictures later as just trying to post for the first time.

Mea I thought you might want to see some of the things I have made and used for sanding different radiuses and edges.

Thanks for the Birthday greetings. I haven't much on my ship this summer as I have been busy camping and visiting family. Will start soon again on it as it is getting colder and winter is coming.

I have made and added more bulkheads to have the same number as the original Oseberg ship. Then I put a thin veneer on all the exposed edges of the bulkheads to cover the plywood edges and look more realistic. Time consuming but turned out good I thought.

Thank you for bringing a big smile to my face with these cardboard tubes. Good evening from Belgium and a Happy New Year filled with peace and happiness. ♥
