    Nice. Looks much better than the Matchbox kit from a long time ago. I don't know an immediate answer to your question, it's going to take some searching. Scale 1/1, fore sale 😇 https://tracksandtrade.com/nl/kavel/1944-comet-a34-mk1-model-a-celerity

    Preparation of the cannon deck. Since there is no grating in the deck above, there is little or no visible interior of this deck. The intention is to make the carriages of the cannons as simple as possible. And only add the (half) cannon barrels later. The first attempt failed, fortunately no photos. The second attempt was with wooden blocks. Reasonably good, but too visible when the sunlight shines on them. The third attempt has now reduced the size of these blocks and painted them completely black. This will be the method used for the bronze cannons. Wit wooden block adjusted wooden block an final methode

    Maybe this will work. print the flags on regular paper first apply glue (pritt) around the area of the printed flags. and certainly up to the edge of your tissue paper. let it dry well. print. and cross your fingers 😉 I did mine on the (expensive) laser printer at work. After retiring, this is the only thing I miss now...

    I dont think so. Please do. There is a book on the cannons of the Mary Rose. But is very hard to find. And if you find it, very expensive.

    Indeed. After the modernization with more guns she was already deeper in the water. Add to that the gun ports were not operated by the gun crew, but on the deck above. Then make a sharp turn. And then....

    These are sharp "hooks". When approaching or boarding the enemy. Was it the intention of these hooks to damage the rigging of the enemy ship

    Amazing 👍

    As mentioned in the title. Mary Rose "your Noblest Shippe". Not Mary Rose "a la Anthony" Anthony is helpful, but he is not always followed
  19. Baker
    The idea is to place four "larger" swivel cannons here. Why swivels? Because on the Anthony drawings the cannons on the back of the fore castels usually point upwards. And it is therefore suspected that these are swivels Why only four, Matches the drawing. "false openings" Make yourself appear stronger than you actually are? Is this setup final? Don't know..can change .

    The rear side is ready for painting Painted, some painted parts could be better. But that is for later.. With the general shape seems to be ok. The fore castle is on hold for a while. First I will continue with the gun deck. (And i forgot to drill the holes for the swivel cannons. I see now.... Current status

    bug professionally removed 😉 indeed much better.
  23. Baker
    Welcome back 😉 Nice work from you and your daughter

    When I built my SR, long ago. I thought it was supposed to be a bucket with "something" in it. Not really recommended to put this on your model 😉
  25. Baker
    I do indeed first give the deck a few layers of varnish (danish oil). On the places where something has to be glued later I scratch this layer away. And then glue the object there with normal wood glue.

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.
