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.

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

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

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

Kevels made from "wasknijpers" (Dutch) well found and very realistic -

Small update on the upper deck layout. During a week of vacation I asked and received information from the Mary Rose museum. Was there a capstan, and if so where? Answer. There is no real evidence that there was one, but also no evidence that there wasn't one. And the most logical place is behind the main mast. Also received a pdf "Cabels and Cablets of the Mary Rose" which contains a lot of information about the layout of the upper deck and the anchor cables. This results in the following setup (not a technical masterpiece as it is sketched on a beach chair, but reasonably clear). Start upper deck.

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.
