  1. I dont think so. Please do. There is a book on the cannons of the Mary Rose. But is very hard to find. And if you find it, very expensive.
  2. Indeed. After the modernization with more guns she was already deeper in the water. Add to that the gun ports were not operated by the gun crew, but on the deck above. Then make a sharp turn. And then....
  3. These are sharp "hooks". When approaching or boarding the enemy. Was it the intention of these hooks to damage the rigging of the enemy ship
  4. As mentioned in the title. Mary Rose "your Noblest Shippe". Not Mary Rose "a la Anthony" Anthony is helpful, but he is not always followed
  5. The idea is to place four "larger" swivel cannons here. Why swivels? Because on the Anthony drawings the cannons on the back of the fore castels usually point upwards. And it is therefore suspected that these are swivels Why only four, Matches the drawing. "false openings" Make yourself appear stronger than you actually are? Is this setup final? Don't know..can change .
  6. The rear side is ready for painting Painted, some painted parts could be better. But that is for later.. With the general shape seems to be ok. The fore castle is on hold for a while. First I will continue with the gun deck. (And i forgot to drill the holes for the swivel cannons. I see now.... Current status
  7. Welcome back 😉 Nice work from you and your daughter
  8. When I built my SR, long ago. I thought it was supposed to be a bucket with "something" in it. Not really recommended to put this on your model 😉
  9. I do indeed first give the deck a few layers of varnish (danish oil). On the places where something has to be glued later I scratch this layer away. And then glue the object there with normal wood glue.
