  1. As with many things for ships from this period. There's no evidence that there was a ladder in the forecastle. And there's no evidence that there wasn't a ladder in the forecastle. And anyone who fell off board or from the mast, or had another accident, was simply unlucky.
  2. Thank you very much Ab 27 september Amsterdam? Mary Rose on display
  3. Drawings. Info from the Mary Rose books. There is absolutely no space free in the interior on this deck And. @woodrat thanks, great build and info
  4. The arch under the fore castle Contrary to previous assumptions, this did serve as access from the upper deck to the fore castle. The construction was done step by step. The carved arch. "stair, ladder" not yet in place Some "oops" work was required. The fore castle deck was too high relative to the rear castle deck. Otherwise, the walkway above the anti-boarding net wouldn't have been at the correct height. dry fit (and a bit uneven at the moment, as I can see in the photo)
  5. Nice model And
  6. Reconstruction of the aft wall of the upper deck. Drawing of what remains. Result. Swivel guns may have originally been placed here. That's why two holes were provided in the beam on each side. Whether these were still present after the renovation...? The supports in the middle are a guess. The drainage channel of the deck above; once painted, you won't notice the wire anymore.
  7. Further finishing of the upper deck. First, a coat of Danish oil and then "nails." And construction has begun on the rear castle wall.
  8. Construction of the various hatches on this deck. Eight small hatches, above each gun on the deck below. None are identical. It looks sloppy, but so be it... Larger hatches are provided in the middle. An anchor cable will later "disappear" under one. A ladder will remain partially visible under another. The mast is aligned, straight across the width and leaning slightly backwards along the length. Capstan under construction Thanks for following and likes
