  1. Indeed, It's been a while since I've used this method. Only for quickly drilling a hole when the XActo knife happens to be nearby 😉
  2. Also possible for drilling smal holes. An X acto knife With the blade With a 1mm drill
  3. My condolences for your loss. Just saw your progress on the model, great work.
  4. The next step is gluing the forecastle to the model. Since I still haven't found an answer to the question of how the yard of the fore sail was raised, should I do it with or without a knight? Without a knight is easiest, but then I'll be stuck later. With, I'll first have to adjust the forecastle decks. I'm currently enjoying building the Corel yacht the most. And I'm learning things on this (practice) model that I can later apply to Mary Rose. Please be patient, to be continued.
  5. And after a few more extra details I think the hull is now complete Next : mast, yards, rigging, sails...
  6. Thank you. As mentioned before, "zero" knowledge about carriers. But again, very interesting to follow this rebuild 👍
  7. I have zero knowledge of 20th century shipbuilding... But Funnel facing to the rear ( i think) Funnel facing forward? Taking into account the sailing direction I would think, towards the rear.
  8. Making a railing for the quarterdeck. Drilling all the holes for the metal pins seems excessive. But it makes for easy installation later. Clamp the parts in the vice and glue with CA. Ready Making the "overloop" (I don't think there's an English word for this). These are for attaching the main and fore sail sheets. Corel doesn't provide this for the fore sail. So, no room. Too far forward Or in the mast So, the mast needs to be moved aft... Work in progress. Railing in place (and the main sail "overloop"). The renovated deck on the cabin is also ready Fore sail "overloop" in place.
