  1. Looking at the parts and the model, still the same as it was 35 years ago when I built my first one. So you are the one who builds those beautiful machines
  2. Nice work. Originally these were Matchbox kits, http://www.matchboxkits.org/index.php?cPath=81_82
  3. To late, but. A certain Mister Furttenbach had the same problem 300 years ago. Now this drawing is an example in rigging for many 😉
  4. There is little information about colors on ships from this period.And certainly not about merchant ships. I would leave the colors as they are, looks good
  5. https://www.hismodel.com/articles-detail-814 price : 82,61 euro out of stock...☹️
  6. the correct English name for these strips are indeed dowels. So there is nothing wrong with your eyes 😇😎
  7. Thanks, These are walnut wooden strips from amati 1 mm diameter. https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/Walnut-Dowl-1mm-1WD1_0010.html#SID=470
  8. Treenails... There have been many discussions here on the forum; Treenails, yes or no. For me: yes. It's a lot of work, but for me it adds value. The idea is to add the treenails and then paint the hull with diluted Tamiya paints. This worked last time with toothpicks and ramin wood, but the cherry wood does not provide enough contrast. That is why I purchased walnut strips with a diameter of 1 mm, these provide sufficient contrast with the cherry wood to be able to paint over later. There is not much information for the Mary Rose, only the diameter of the treenails. The frames also do not have an ordered structure to create a treenail diagram. Therefore, back to the method on my previous model. This creates a schedule that has some structure. This will not match the real ship at all. but it looks good (to me). The Mary Rose info, Further in the book it says : We will investigate this further later... My treenails are indeed 0.2mm too thick. But I couldn't find smaller strips in walnut and 1 mm drills are cheap here The frame diagram Plan B The strips : ordered on monday, delivered on teusday. There should be approximately 5500 to 6000 holes between the keel and the first wale. This work requires new tools Drilling Adding the treenails (and my very first hammer, still in service) Work in progress
  9. I think your painting gives a very special and beautiful result. At the time the Revenge was built, wood and iron were used.No brass 😉 The most common colors where red,green and white
  10. The name is now complete. And planking is done on both sides. Further planking at the stern is for later. Now this part of the hull will first be further detailed (treenails, etc.) 2 plywood bulkheads remain present, so the model can easily remain upside down for further finishing. The strange piece of wood on the bow is just a temporary reinforcement so that the top part of the stem doesn't break off Thanks for following, comments and likes
