Pavel Nikitin 1/25 Oseberg V.3

I've started another project: the gangways.

The kit comes with two pre-cut planks, onto which the pre-cut sleepers need to be glued, 41 pieces per plank. Cleaning the small pieces is quite fiddly, so to speak, so I decided to saw some strips from the leftover material and then cut them to the correct size. While gluing the sleepers, I didn't think it was quite right, and after examining some photos of the Oseberg in Oslo, I noticed that the sides of the planks also have reinforcement, which seems quite logical to me, and also some kind of reinforcement on the front of the plank. So I made some strips on the sides and curved the front, which, in my opinion, gives a more realistic gangway.

The photos below explain this.
