Pavel Nikitin 1/25 Oseberg V.3

Everybody thanks for the nice words and looking and the likes.

As far as I'm concerned, it's finished!!!

I gave the planks another thin coat of matte polyurethane varnish to give the whole thing a nice natural shine and to temper the intensity of the colors a bit.

I also slightly roughened the wood grain of the crossbeams between the planks and then gave them the necessary color again.

I am now letting the whole thing rest for a while to see how the colors settle.

The planking looks very nice and very realistic, Boris. You made a very nice job.
Regards, Peter
