Congratulations, a beautiful model 

Again, thank you all for comments, following, and likes.

Back to the rear castle.

As already earlier discovered, the top is too wide and will therefore get in the way of the standing rigging.

Cause: Used (incomplete) drawings and the builder's oversight. Notworries, there's a solution for everything.

Threaded rods..

Tightening the threaded rods brings the top closer together

Beams and knees are then glued

Or beams and nails (bad photo)

The front of the rear castle, work in progress

And (40) shields for the swivels. All different sizes.

and with a few of this shields installed.

Congratulations   a beautiful model

Patrick,

Can't believe that I missed this one - very excellent indeed. and sails are just about perfect especially using your grandmother's Singer. 😘

 

===============

 

I think that my English mom had one of those similar looking old black Singers as well. She married my French dad - they met in London in 1945 

 

Cheers,

Thank you for the nice comments 

There was an anchor david found.

Something like this will be build later

Very nice work.

An elegant solution to the problem indeed! Well done, Patrick. And tell the ship's cat to jump to it!

Thanks all 

Cats : no jumping allowed in the hobby room (he loves this rule)🤣

And catheads.

The only cathead i can find on drawings, etc is on a 21st century drawing. Not on older drawings. So no cathead for Mary 

And also thanks for the likes 

Welcome back, 

The Corel yacht is finished (learned a lot of new things) and the problem with the foresail knight is solved.

2026 started with "demolition work".

And overtired staff (again).

But, a knight (basic), a block and rope was made.

Early 16yh century blocks are "special" and complicated to build.

Knight in place (with the screw)

Test.

This setup can be operated with the capstan.

Deck one back in place

Deck two also

Mary Rose is back on track

Welcome back 

 Also my condolences about your mother.

Nice work on the Beagle. 

Your first model looks very good. 

Good luck with the next one.

Very nice model 

And 

Good luck, i follow.

Narrow base or not

What's the plan now? Working further on your beautiful Mary Rose? Or do you have new projects in the pipeline?

First Mary Rose.
