  1. Nice model And
  2. 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.
  3. Further finishing of the upper deck. First, a coat of Danish oil and then "nails." And construction has begun on the rear castle wall.
  4. 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
  5. With the deck planking finished, the deck (outside in the garden) is sanded and dusted. The planking at the back is virtually invisible later, so most attention has been paid to the parts that remain visible. Ladders glued The openings around ladders and other openings are finished with planks with grooves milled into them. The cross beams of the hatches fit here. (Most of the hatches in the middle will be closed) Thanks for following
  6. As this pdf is copyrighted but available for around £47... through the Mary Rose trust, it is not shown or attached here
  7. Indeed, the underlying axis distance between large and small beams is approximately 1cm on this scale Therefore, the distances between the seams, measured from the dale, are always with one centimetre in between. This is almost the only constant in this planking And the Anchor cable wil not toutch the main mast btw, There are anchors on starboard and port side. if I place the capstan off center then i can only operate the anchors on one side
  8. Kevels made from "wasknijpers" (Dutch) well found and very realistic
