Pavel,
I am new to this site and building ship models, but I would like to ask a question. I am currently building your older version of the Oseberg and really having fun with it. On the newer version will the planking be made from cherry of beech? I like this kit so much I may make the updated version my second build. Also, have you thought of leaving a bit of extra length to the center sections of the planking runs to allow for hand fitting the seams? Thank you for your time.

Approximately in July of this year, the third version of the Oseberg dracar will go on sale. She will have cherry planks, the sail will already be painted and with aging effects, the rigging will be much more complicated and of course more beautiful than the first two versions. There will also be a number of other notable improvements.....
Pavel, I love your new Oseberg model.

Hi @Pavel Nikitin , I can't figure out from the drawings where these pieces are to be placed. Thanks for replying
Are these elements made out of a plywood, or is this solid wood.
If no plywood it is clear, that they will brake, because of the direction of the grain .....
The notches on the bulkheads look like they make construction infinitely easier than the Amati Drakkar kit. Are thy pre-cut this way? Or are these photos post-sanding and shaping?

Pavel, I would like to hear your opinion about the fact that in my set of trim belts number 12, the cutouts for the oars have the same slope. I can't understand why this is. The bow parts of the belt 12 have a different slope. Is this a configuration error?And from which dial number did you eliminate the error with the width of the trim strips? Where can I see my dial number?And where did the second detail, the thickening of the belt covering for mounting the steering oar, go? I just don't have it in my kit.

Describe all these questions in a letter to the store, they will answer you and help you figure it out. I can hardly be everywhere, designing and producing and selling. I just don't have enough hands.

What does the seller have to do with it?I also wrote to them, while they are silent. The plates with the details are all there. There are no identical ones, but 2 details are wrong.I just don't understand how it happened.
I didn't post on SoS about this. But I wrote to Pavel about it. This was still a minor problem minus the errors I had to deal with. Was happy to leave the project to start a new one.

I will cut out the missing part myself from the remains of the frames with details. About the oars, the change of direction. The cutouts are only for putting an oar into the side of the ship. So it doesn't matter which nose the drakar is coming from. I think Pavel's drawing is correct, but there was a mistake with the details. Purely aesthetically, it is more beautiful to tilt the cutouts to one side

I continue to work on the drakar. There are errors in the set. I had to put up with something, fix something. I don't know what to do with the shields? Or paint it, or tint it, or just varnish it. The skin was tinted with a stain to match the stained oak, the deck and the decor on the staves were simply oak. I want to make racks under the yard in the center of the deck. There are pictures on the box of the set, they are there, but they are not intended in the set itself. Does anyone have an image of what they looked like?
To start with, I would assume if the shields are in place, then the crew must be also. If the ship is displayed unmanned, then surely the Vikings would have taken their shields with them?
