Pavel Nikitin Oseberg #3 kit #61

The update for the Mast step continued:

After removing all the char and sanding the piece to "about" right shape I had to figure how to do the next step. I soaked the piece in hot water for about twenty minutes and then

dug into the clamp stash and let the assembly dry.

The result was excelent.

Step #2 was to fit and glue the replacement frames for the deck supports and mast "footing" .

The buid plan shows a section (Black arrow) that needs to be removed. I've not done that yet.

Also the two "O" deck supports for the new frame are similar except one is marked (two tiny zeros, Magenta arrow).

I think I've managed to get this step right. No final gluing until I paint the interior , frames and the complted decks. I've been putting that off since I don't like to paint.

Very nice job Jan! I think you'd agree, this looks much better than the original and was worth the effort.

That said, it looks like, even in his attempt to make a more scale-like mast partner, Pavel still took some artistic liberties. As you can see from Dr. Bischoff's dissertation below, the mast partner ended at the biti and did not extend beyond them. Additionally, the portion forward of the mast is significantly thinner.

That is interesting, I think that could easily be done with some more shaping

Good morning Jan. Looking very cool. Going to be a impressive model to display once done. Cheers Grant
 
Little bit of morning humor.

Thirty two shields ready for the paint shop, oops, only thirty one (Green arrow). While removing the round hoops that are glued to the front of the shields one of them popped out and fell into the "Black Hole" under my workbench. Not a problem, the plans show thirty shields, fifteen to a side mounted on the top rail. So I have two spares, hmm, one spare:rolleyes:

Jan,

Nice - do those shield hoops come with the kit - metal or plastic? And, are you also going to make/add the hand holding straps?
I may have already mentioned that I finally received Dr. Bischoff's dissertation The Oseberg Ship. It will become invaluable along with Pavel's excellent kit.
Oh and your log Okay

Much looking forward to leaving the 1600 hundreds - been there three times. haha

John,

You can also download PDFs of Dr. Bischoff's actual dissertation. I have already received permission to post her link, which is in this post of my build log. It is in two parts and in Danish, but all the drawings are there and being in PDF format, you can zoom in to see details and dimensions that are hard to read in the book. I have used these to print scale drawings for my own version of the correct mast partner, oars, etc.

The hoops are Laser cut and included in the kit and fit on the outside of the shields. Pavel's kit also includes the hand holding straps. I found that to get a good fit on those I squared the litte plastic hand shield insert edges. I could have filed the notch in hand holding straps a bit wider but choose not to. It was a choice of one or the other.

Good morning Jan......That black hole......:mad:. I think Pavel just knew some of these shields are of the disappearing variety. Cheers Grant
