    Thank you for the nice comments. The planking at the bow has been further sanded and fitted with treenails. Back to the rear castle. Smaller wales (4) are placed on the clinker planking. Of course, none of the four have the same dimensions. The drawings and photos are partly used to determine the "right" location. The dimensions between the wales are also taken into account for future painting works. According to Mary's remains, the Wales certainly continue as far as sector 10 (the penultimate cannon port) "penultimate" A new English word for me (hopefully Mr. Google translate is correct 😳) After applying these wales I have to read my books and think first. The "frames" of the rear castle are much too thick. And the clinker planking on the transom also feels wrong. This means extra sanding and cutting, probably a redo and a smiley. Thanks for following

    indeed. There was also a VW kubelwagen and an NSU kettenkrad. They were fun to build.

    You didn't screwed something up. I had the same problem in the 80's.

    And good luck on the road to Victory 😉

    Known problem. I've had that too on my Mary Rose. Call it the charm of scratch building. Nice work Simon.

    Planking the bow. Purely speculative. As mentioned earlier, the planking here is horizontal, on many carracks it is curved vertical, but at the time of the sinking of Mary Rose this seems to have become somewhat old-fashioned. most drawings then show horizontal planking. First, a clean up on the inside Then the bow is built up step by step. The bow is planked. Not clearly visible in the photos, but there are still depths and heights in the shape here and there. But the planks are thick enough to sand away these imperfections. And. Not happy with the errors on the right, but we don't see anything about this later. Needs further sanding (left) With the cardboard fore castle. In this setup the height is already 1.5cm lower. Next, sanding, applying treenails, etc. to be done. Thanks for following

    nice work on the ft 17 Indeed, a long time ago, Lego was stimulating to develop and build something yourself. Nowadays you just have to follow the drawn instructions step by step. boring for us older generation (my opinion😪)

    Sounds familiar I have experienced this too. Drawing and building a model yourself is quite a challenge 👍

    Nice work Christian. Rigging the cannons is indeed al lot of work was it worth the effort ? Always 😉

    Thanks. 1/124 is small indeed. And it will take a lot of extra work. But I do believe that a beginner can make a nice model out of it. ps got mine for free so nothing to lose if it fails.

    I have the thermopylae from sergal. tentatively scheduled to start building next winter. Built "out of the box" it can produce quite a good model. Disadvantage of the thermopylae: almost no information available about it There is no copper sheeting in the sergal box. But new in the box it costs in belgium €95, which is quite a reasonable price for the kit

    Great work. I found this on the Dutch forum. https://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/bouwverslag-modelbouwkit-dwarsdoorsnede-van-een-17e-eeuwse-koopvaarder.286012/ https://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/nieuw-een-virtuele-rondleiding-op-een-17e-eeuws-nederlands-schip.276679/#post-4153895

    And good luck

    Ordinary iron wire of 1mm. soldered with a regular soldering iron. I think I have the Model Shipways Mayflower building instructions somewhere. This is very helpful for rigging. If you want this you will have to wait a while, I am not at home right now

    No problem. If this helps. My Bounty experiment.

    non-binding advice 😉 In my opinion the loop go's around the bowsprit. Normaly this is done with a chain. Otherwise, take a look at my Pelican build log. in the first post you will find an index with links

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
