  1. 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

    There should be approximately 5500 to 6000 holes between the keel and the first wale. This work requires new tools

    Adding the treenails (and my very first hammer, still in service)

  2. 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

  3. The wale 3 problem has been solved. This now has a more flowing line towards the bow.

    The front cannon port has also been modified. Like ports 2 through 6, is the opening now to just below the wale.

    The letters of the name are also coming together well.

    Starting with an easy one

    And then the difficult one
