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 👍

Saved by Kirill post 578, second time 😉 👍

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

Is the Sergal Thermopylae (791) kit any good?
Baker replied to Scottish Guy's topic in Wood ship model kits
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. -
Is the Sergal Thermopylae (791) kit any good?
Baker replied to Scottish Guy's topic in Wood ship model kits
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
-
peace 😉 This is a long term project. Nothing thoughtless is done before moving on. But every now and then you will see something like this Then there is removal and rebuilding😉

Sufficient archaeological remains of the main armament of the Mary Rose have been found. All this has already been neatly researched and put on a drawing by the Mary Rose organisation. The irregular placement of these cannons is simply because they were added later. Not in the best, most logical place, but simply where there was room and where the hull construction allowed it. Most of these cannons have already been printed in 3D by a friendly Australian Since I will first continue building the outside of the hull, these cannons will only be placed in the year 2025 or later. And iwill probably build the fore castle as one whole and then put it on the model. But, when that will be. no idea for now.

Triumph 3HW by Tim Moore - Italeri - 1/9
Baker replied to Tim Moore's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
So much better than mine. Built 40 years ago 👍. -
please Don't start endless discussions like you do in other build logs. thank you
-
Only the main mast
-
A very beautiful model. it was great to follow this build.
-
Another beautiful model 👍
-
For some parts yes, for most parts not. The first models appeared just after the wreck was recovered. Based on information at that time. This model, and the caldercraft model, are based on this early info. in fact they have turned a carrack into a kind of a galeon. 🤢 buy and read.😉
