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?

Most definitely. I would never leave my shield behind.

Let's not turn a model ship into a souvenir toy!

Hey, what about making up a crew? ROTF

Hey, what about making a diorama of a burial mound!?
(but you still have to complete the ship before burying it..
not because you can see it, but because you know it is there..).

How many Viking figurines do you think you need? 5-10?There are 30 oars, 30 shields, then following your logic, you also need 30 figures, plus a jarl, plus women, plus slaves, etc., etc. Thank you, I don't need this. In addition, the length of the drakar is 865 mm. What kind of diorama should it be in size?

Quite a big one!

We have finished work on the 3D model of the Oseberg, version 3. While it is very similar to the previous version, we have reworked and changed almost every element of the ship. The ship's rigging has been completely changed to ensure historical accuracy. Many elements have been added to the decks that enhance the image of the ship and the spirit of the Viking Age...In addition, this ship will be produced in two scales: 1-32 and 1-25. Work begins on the test construction of this model....

This is not an improved kit, it is a completely 100% different kit. Although they are very similar in appearance, absolutely all the elements have been radically changed. Also this model has a different scale 1:32

Hi Pavel, will there also be a version of the oseberg in 1:25 scale? Thanks

At 1:25 scale is it a bigger Oseberg?
