Gokstad viking ship / WAK + scratch / upscaled to 1:48

I have finaly get to build this beautifuly designed model by designer Tomasz Weremko.

More about the history of the ship here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gokstad_ship





Tomasz Weremko, designer of the model, used archeological drawings to design this model, so it is historicaly correct according to available informations.


I upscaled the model to my favourite 1:48 scale.

Skeleton is done. Comparison with model original scale:



I will try to paint it. Some early experiments with watercolour paints.

First plank on its place. I am trying to depict good wood texture. Small dot on the groove is rivet test.





With figure to see the size of the ship:

I found something interesting. Now it seems that Gokstad shields was covered with leather. Here is newest experimental archeology reconstruction:

Unfortunately I was forced to cancel the build due to my mistakes.



I used water based glue for laminating. I applied the glue to the paper on witch I printed my enlarged templates instad of the card I use for laminating. Water changed the shape of the template, making the keel,stem and stern longer, so planks were too short and do not reach to the places they should. I found it out after half of the planking was done. Lesson learned.
