    Thanks Roger. Indeed. The Mary Rose builders (rebuilders) were also working on this problem

    Thanks The BTR'S are better cast than Ace's older models.But still sometimes a mess and a puzzle to assemble ...

    @Rock_From_Korea @Louie da fly @md1400cs @Roger Pellett Thanks for the nice comments. Mary was indeed 30 years old and had had a major refit. Maybe the original version didn't need these battens

    Planking of the stern. First to do The cannon deck will become almost completely invisible later, so I don't put much time and effort into it. The sides will be further finished later. To further plank the stern, I first need to determine where the cannon ports should be placed. And discovered that the stern was not completely symmetrical. Fortunately, I used PVA glue that can be loosened with isopropyl alcohol. Error corrected The lower stern planked and with the 2 cannon ports Low quality interior I first have to consider what the next steps on the model will be. And, the hobby room urgently needs a makeover. As well as two bedrooms, the wife says....

    Canadian movements from D'Day to the end of August. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/military-history/history-heritage/casualty-identification-military/normandy-france.html After that. Northern west France and then West Belgium (map) left Canadian (coastal side) middle Polish units (corresponds to my mother's stories) right english Be careful with a Mk.VII in Canadian service at this stage of the war. Scots guards? a Mk.VII = ok

    I came across this a long time ago in a Kit from Heller or Revell. What I remember about it from back then. Tested a few times and then it ended in the trashbin, either I'm clumsy or the thing is unusable.

    I'm glad the operation went well and you're feeling better again. A wrecked ship. This will be an interesting project.

    Thanks. No. I had no gaps in my little planks. But remember, on the original ship these planks were 10cm thick, 40 or 50 cm wide and meters long. Not easy to handle and to adjust once placed on the ships hull. So, if there is a gap between 2 planks under the waterline. Nail a batten over the gap, once the ship is launched. Gap, batten....? Where???😇. (My opinion 😉)

    The side skirts, all other parts and some extras are in place, so the model ready for painting Next, 3 armoured cars. The idea is to build them in a series Unlike previous models, sharply cast parts

    Last update of 2023 The scarfs in the keel parts have treenails and the battens have been applied. I'm not going to add any iron bolts or nails. All iron fasteners were caulced or shielded with wood (bolts in the keel) and are therefore invisible. If the seams between the planks are too wide and caulcing will not stay in place. What are you doing then.. knock a batten over it, and case closed. Personal view, I think it's a horrible sight. Battens And on the model The hull has only been sanded with 120 grit, so it still needs some better sanding. The next step is to install a deck and plank the stern. A happy 2024 to everyone

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.
