Hello from the Scottish North Coast
Baker replied to Scottish Guy's topic in New member Introductions
Heller and certainly Revell have good kits. You're going to learn a lot when you build them. -
I'm following an interesting build log, great work Steven 👍 learn Australian (i think 😉) And history (👍)

First. The schrouds problem Fortunately, cherry wood is very flexible and this can be easily solved. By stretching the frames towards each other. This is something for later, if I do this now I won't have enough space to work in the rear castle. Continued with determining the position of the decks. And the "gun wale". On this beam were the swivel guns placed on the first version of the Mary Rose, on the current version only 3 would have remained. Memory aid. Where is what Adjustment of the stern The position of the 3 swivel guns further surgery of the stern Upper deck and castle deck determined. Upper castle still to do current status Thaks for following

We once discussed this on this forum in the shore leave section. Place the glued plastic pieces in the freezer. The glue would then become crumbly, and then you can separate the pieces again. I don't think you should take it apart if everything just came out of the freezer. I think your plastic is then also very fragile. Never tested this myself. so be careful, I give no guarantee 😉

The only wooden kit I made was from Billings (Vasa). My experience with their plastic parts wasn't also really "Wow" compared to the "real" plastic kits from Revell etc. The plastic parts from Billings are probably cast in short run moulds. The kits from Revell etc. are cast in real large moulds, much more expensive and intended for mass production. You will also not find holes or pins in the Billings parts to neatly glue the parts together. Considering the front of the grating and the front part of your beakhead appear to be the same length (yellow lines). I would glue the sides of the beakhead to the grating. and then make it fit your model. You may have to adjust the grating slightly so that the whole assembly moves in the direction of the arrow.

The two dales Each is made of 3 pieces as a base (bad photo, sorry) A finished dale Making the holes in the same place on both sides was a challenge. While the glue from the dales is drying, work continues on the inside. The support under each dale is fictional, and later virtually invisible. This gives the dale (as support for the deck) a slight curve And looking 5 steps further in the future. Checking the relationship between the sides of the castle, channel, mast and the schrouds of the main mast. Oops, I'm going to get in trouble if i go further this way... Noticed it just in time

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
