  1. heads, toilets... yes or no? when I was on a NATO maneuver in West Germany (1983). If you had to... Then you dug a hole, covered it with sand, and that's it. Or there was a forest full of trees.... off topic, but... Much later I had a Polish colleague at work who is the same age as me. I said it was their fault that I had to join the army. because the Warsaw Pact was preparing an invasion of Western Europe. No he said, I had to join the army because NATO was preparing an invasion against the Warsaw Pact. 🤔
  2. Planking First planks were placed on which the large PE parts will later be glued. For the correct position, the height of a cannon was first measured. And this way the position of the first wale can be marked. Once this wale is glued, the excess part of these first planks is removed and further planking can take place. Planking, work in progress
  3. Forecastle update. All frames are placed A temporary support is placed at the top. And there are 2 cannon ports. To place 4 according to the Anthony roll, the fore castle is too small in my opinion. The interior finish is in the same line as the rearcastle. The higher planking is according to the clinker method Thanks for following
  4. indeed. first making a cardboard replica of your forecastle can't hurt. And then you can also check if you have enough space for your standing rigging of the fore mast
  5. Goed begonnen is half gewonnen (Flemish saying) Google translate is a disaster translate this... he who starts well prepared. has already won half the challenge

  7. I had an extensive discussion with that person (in front of the mirror ). We will provide heads in the fore castle. There is definitely room for 4 Thanks Thank you for bringing up this topic, 👍
  8. good question. I haven't really thought about this. Anyone have any suggestions??
  9. You are on the right track. looks promising 👍
  10. The planking has started. At the bottom, first 3 regular planks and above that, clinker planking will be placed. Stock of deck planking sawn. And the lowest deck is planked. This will be virtually invisible later, so I didn't spend much time on it. And now, placing the frames
  11. planking Corel's idea is to nail extra supports to the deck. I don't think this is very practical. That's why they were removed and this material was used in a different way that gives more support to the planks. The pear planks are very flexible. I don't know anything about a 17th century yacht, so I bought some reading material in advance. There is no hole for the tiller.But the problem was seen in time and solved planking, work in progress. The diagram of the planking on the transom comes from the book.
  12. Very nice work
  13. Great research, All those "hull lines", I've studied them many times. It's still Chinese to me 😓. Et votre connaissance de la langue française 😉
  14. I went to technical school and learned to design and build molds. I graduated in the early 80s, but due to the general economic crisis, no one needed an inexperienced mold builder. It became assembly line work at general motors and ford. So building plastic and later wooden models was my salvation.
  15. Some Mary Rose info. Drawings are 1/50 scale. The position of frame 1 in the hull and drawing Frame 3 And indeed, a shape you would expect from a carrack
  16. The bulkheads are glued to the keel. plywood decks in place To make this plywood easier to bend, cuts have been made on the inside Now to do is shape the bulkheads a bit better and bevel them. The hull shape does not match a Dutch yacht from this period. But fortunately we are not building a Duych yacht 😇
  17. After testing where the foremast and bowsprit could be placed. A base of the forecastle with the curved sides is glued to it. Final check if it is neatly straight. Everything is ready to start on the sides
  18. Great start, and good luck with Mary 👍 I also have the book "Anatomy of the Ship: Tudor Warship Mary Rose" a very interesting book. But, I sometimes wonder how they get the detailed drawings of a parts of the ship of which nothing remains. Be careful with the information from this book. 3 decks in the castles is quite high. I am curious what the result will be.
  19. And indeed, starting a build log is the best way to get help.
