Drakar "OSEBERG" from Pavel Nikitin 1:25 [COMPLETED BUILD]

My kit has parts laser did not go through, what a job digging them out.!!!
 
Plate 11, I believe , I threw the scrap away, the one that had 1,2,3,4,5 of the keel.
 
Having difficulty with keel aligning part 2 set on the plan sheet; it is too long approx 11/2 mm and so your screwed with the rest. I see the only way to build at least my kits keel, is to start with #1,2,3 using the plans as a guide only and try to align the little square holes. When doing #7,8,9 align the square holes.

The Viking ship is complete. I'll leave it as it is now. There have been some difficulties to deal with with this kit and some details could be done better. But it is experiences that I take with me to the next project. However, the overall impression is that it was fun and interesting to build a real historical Viking ship. Something I wanted for a long time.View attachment 370735View attachment 370736View attachment 370735View attachment 370736View attachment 370737View attachment 370738View attachment 370739View attachment 370740View attachment 370741

What a great job Ornholt. Bravo.

Yes I see you had no problem, you didn't even remove the char.

Exactly when assembling the keel, in the places where the parts of the keel join, you do not need to remove the soot, it reduces the parts themselves and they begin to not match the other half of the keel.... It is necessary to grind only after the whole keel is assembled into a monolith....

Have now painted the hull with linseed oil and umber pigment so that it looks like tar. It was pretty good. When it has dried properly, I will install deck planks. I will paint them with only linseed oil to get a contrast with the hull.View attachment 367920

That may be so in theory but I took off the soot which as you say they would fit closer towards the beginning of assembly 1 and 2 but mine ran the other way and was too long by 3mm at 4 and 5 with the plan. I have 1,2,3,4 and 5 assembled and starting with #6 by fitting the squares. Will see tomorrow how it goes.

It's not theory, it's practice, that's how I collect all the keels of all my ships. If you count all the test frames that are assembled at the design stage, you will have close to two hundred.
 
Well I guess I have been told wrong' I was told not to remove the laser burn i.e. char, soot because it impedes the adhesion of the glue and you don't get a good bond.

You have been told the truth, but you do not take into account the fact that the keel consists of two parts, and the monolithicity of its gluing is achieved not due to the strength of the glue joint between the parts of which each half consists, but due to the glue joint between the two halves of the keel. And in this case the area occupied by the glue joint is about 100 times larger.... This point is always taken into account when designing. I am of course younger than you, but I have been working as an engineer for 40 years, and my practice is huge....Try simply repeating my steps in building this ship. You don't have to rethink the project itself, there are many more stages to come and these are much more difficult stages....

So my statement is true only in certain cases. I wasn't thinking of the glueing the pieces together as an end result. Stages coming difficult how ??

Yes, you are right, any rule is not the only rule in every case. It is necessary to see the final result at each stage, only it matters, everything in between may well change....
 
FYI, I guess we were in the same club, I was a mechanical engineering design Draftsman for 40yrs.
 
Question, is it better to do the chamfers on the frame parts when I am sanding off the soot or wait until I am planking ?
