Bob, that's a nice Viking boat. Is it modeled after a specific historical example? Did you shape the hull with the hollows near the stern?
-
look's great!
-
Wow.
Incredible work.

Does that answer your question? Not sure what you mean. Based on the Oseberg ship. Looks cool, but not for the ocean. A replica sank twice in moderate weather.

The way they were planked (planks before frames on boats like that) there was a sort of hollow that created a vortex. It's a little like the vortex that comes off the wingtips on airplanes. This apparently improved the way the boats tracked and also helped reduce drag and increase speed.

Didn't know about that. Found this...
"At the bow and the stern builders were able to create hollow sections, or compound bends, at the waterline making the entry point very fine." ????

Still the most impressive sketchup yet.
I also like the effect the blue shadows have.
I spent some time on the USCG Eagle. Steel hull, but still impressive.
Are you going to mess with masts, rigging, sails? -
nice job,, can not wait the result,,
-
Very nice model, Marius.
I look forward to seeing the WIP and the final model.
Cheers!

This is great!
Its a shame the hull is so flat so you cant see the plank details. If your putting this into a game like the last ship then I understand why but it would make for a great model!
Cheers
