Congratulations on the completion of this amazing build Patrick.
If I someday get back to my Revenge I'll know where I can look for inspiration.

Thank you Dusan

And good luck with your Revenge (great work)

Thank you all for the nice comments. 

Small update.

Patrick,  

 

I remember several years ago when you began this model and were shaping the hull with an angle grinder thinking,  “This isn’t going to turn out well!”🤣  Was I ever wrong.  Your skill, perseverance, and intellectual curiosity has produced a beautiful and historically plausible model.  Well done!

 

 I have enjoyed following your progress and am looking forward to Mary Rose.

 

Roger

Thank you very much. 

And yes, the trick with the angle grinder was indeed  a little scary for me too 😇😉

Congratulations,nice result.

It was great to follow this 👍.

Welcome on the start of what will become a long build log of the Mary Rose. The idea is to build this model like on the cover of the book "Mary Rose, Your Noblest Shippe"

Started sawing wood at the beginning of last year (cherry)

Books have been bought and partially read.

The frames have been enlarged with a printer to a scale of approximately 1/48 - 1/50.

I first wanted to build on a scale of 1/45 (like my Pelican). After an initial investigation whether I have room for a fully finished model on that scale, it will be a scale of 1/50. 1/45 will be too big to fit in the closet.

The first step is drawing out the frames on paper (3D designing and printing is not my thing, drawing, sawing, filing, sanding and making dust is).

To be continued

  Outstanding !  Your build log will be a real help for anyone doing a ship of this type  ... very inspirational !

thank you very much 

The finished model.

Thanks to everyone for the following, likes and positive comments throughout this long build
This was my first time building a ship model from scratch.
It was fun, and worth repeating.

You said another one was the Mary Rose...? 

Thanks,

My co-worker has started his next project.

But he is also looking further ahead...

Thanks,

Next thing to do is find my camera, charge the batteries and take better pictures.

The flags are attached to the masts

And...
I think everything is ready on this model.

Nice first model.

And welcome to MSW 

And good luck with the Bounty.

Thanks for likes and comments.

Flags
At first sight a successful experiment 

the tissue paper is taped to the standard printing paper. And came out of the printer without getting stuck.

The tissue has been cut loose

the flags are glued together and somewhat wrinkled.

after drying overnight.

Now attach these to the masts.

I'm going to follow this method, it's the most common.

from the book "Prins Willem" of Herman Ketting.

And this man probably knew more about ships than I do.

Thanks for following

flags, further experiments.

Based on a great idea from 72Nova  (post 164)

Today I managed to attach tissue paper to plain paper and print it on the work printer.

Flags can be printed on the front and back of the (standard) printing paper.
Or just on one side to be glued together.
Excel is free to use

@72Nova  Thanks for the idea

I too seem to be getting headaches from these mysterious coils already. As for the actual number of rudder ropes, normally one, but that's definitely for a slightly later period. As on many drawings by van de Velde's or on the famous Hohenzollern model of 1660–1670 (shown in the two black and white photos below). But...

 

The Vasa has two holes in her rudder evidently for this purpose, and not just one. So Landström's interpretation showing two ropes instead of only one seems reasonable too. I have included also his illustration with this feature below.

 

 

 

 

 

And the same method on the Batavia replica

https://www.modelships.de/Museums_and_replicas/Batavia/Photos_Batavia.htm

Is just an idea.
These holes may have served to tow the long boat

See   https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Anthony_Roll/Second_roll

No faults found. 

Nice work👍

The flags

First some research, the "what did they look like and where to place them"

Design.
The only things I can handle a bit on a computer are Word and Excell. So I made design in excell.
These are printed on the printer at work. I can print them there at in one time with front and back.
The alignment took a while (paper, ink and labor at the boss's expense 😇.) It is a pity that this printer only accepts paper.
This excel file will be posted next week at work

Anchor cables, 2nd edition
The old anchor cables have been cut off and hidden in the hole. 
The 2nd edition looks better than the first to me.

2 anchor buoys have been made.
Like the other anchor accessories, they still have to be stored in the hold.

And good luck with the Jolly Roger

Thanks for comments and likes.
