  1. planking. Because planking with only the bulkheads as support every 6cm is very inconvenient. I'm going to place the frames of the gun ports first before continuing with planking. First I determine where they should go and how wide the cannonports are. Measure on the drawing and transfer to the model (drawing 1/100, model 1/50, so just multiply by 2). And the dimensions stated in the book correspond well with the drawing. Sawing and installing the frames "Surgery" for some reason they were given an M number in the book. M3,M4,M5... if these were all BMW's.... I think I'm going to fill in a bit of the bow for support. Later on you won't see anything between the stem and the first bulkhead on this deck. The shape remains quite pointed towards the top In accordance with findings on the wreck and paintings from that time, there will also be a cannon at the front. provisionally called Mx
  2. Thanks. keep in mind that the previous model took me 6 years to build 😇
  3. This will be the largest model I will ever make. A little smaller would have been more manageable. But yeah, why not 😇
  4. A new building slip and start planking between wale 1 and 2. The aim of the new building slip is to give the model good support and to keep it fully accessible. The result is a bit big and unwieldy. But solid Align the front and back with the laser. The 1st wale did not have a smooth line here and there. In these places the glue has been loosened with isopropyl alcohol and adjusted Measure whether the dimensions match the cross-sections. Only 1mm difference here and there Start further planking. The intention is to do 2 strakes and maybe the 2nd wale. This will then serve as a basis to replace all the plywood with wooden frames. The first plank lots of clamping... Flags, did a first testprint on tissue paper. And no, the Dutch VOC flag is not for the Mary Rose Thanks for following
  5. ratlines. getting started is always an exciting experience. But after a while it can get boring. I would start already, then you can do something else in between if you get tired of it 😉
  6. After a day of sanding in the sun, the lower part of the hull is sanded. Also the keel and stem are tapered. All the screws holding Mary Rose upside down have been removed. And i gave her a cleaning with compressed air. The keel is tapered using the cross-sectional drawings. A bit straighter than the original... Since there is little left of the stem. it was a bit of free interpretation. And Mary Rose landed on her feet (oops, keel). Now the build slip needs to be adjusted before continuing Thanks for following, likes and comments.
