I fixed the mast to the hull and I completed the "standing rigging", even if on Viking ship wasn't always "standing".

Congratulations Jack, a nice model, I myself had been very proud to have it on the shelf here in Norway.

The basement of the "display case" finished . . now only the plexiglas cover is missing.

Details of the device for housing the oars, with the grooves to hold them in position at the correct distance.

That's all for now.

Most probably you will not have further news for some time.

The plexiglas cover will be made by a craftsman specialized on this kind of tasks and I have no idea about the time it will take to make it . .

Only then I will be able to shot some final images of the entire, finished model.

Cheers, Jack.

The finished model with the complete display case . . .

Now this model can be really considered a closed project.

It was a very interesting and valuable experience: the clinker planking, the viking culture and many other things.

Enjoy the attached images . . . bye, Jack.

Here is a documentary (in Danish) showing the process of building the ship called Havhingsten.

Bye Bye, Jack.

This will probably be my next build after I finish the Mary Rose. Your excellent build log will be very helpful to me and your comments have assured me of the quality of the kit. Well done on a fine build.
