  1. Indeed, I think the Japanse had a different machine gun. I have some books about the ft17
  2. Nice. The tanks in picture one are post WW1. I think Estland or Lithuania.
  3. Thanks Steven. Gobsmacked, a new word for me. Is this "Australian" English ?
  4. yep, after 42 years of working in the metal and chemical industries. And 8 months of military service in Germany with the Belgian army. I have a constant buzzing and ringing in my ears. If you made a comment about a noisy environment you got this answer: You get used tothaat, after a while you don't hear it anymore... 🙉
  5. Next, The further finishing of the cannon deck. And start building the basis for the waist and the fore castle. There is also a cabin at the front. The crew of the (optional) cannon has a lot of space again... The sloping side of the cabin will later serve as a basis for a staircase I run out of wood supplies. So the men from the sawmill were put to work (me...) There is material of 3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9mm thickness back in stock. Thanks for following
  6. Continued with the planking on the rear castle. Frames 6, 8 and 10, which served as the basis for the rear castle, were too thick and were therefore made thinner. I used the easy way, put the saw in and start sawing. the stern is provided with the necessary holes for the tiller, etc. The frames were too wide at the top and would cause problems later with the schrouds. The simple way, tighten with an iron wire. 1.8cm less wide at the top, and "schroud test" ok 👍 The rear castle is now temporaly on hold. Sanding the clinker planking and the interior is for later (outside the house...)
  7. Heller and certainly Revell have good kits. You're going to learn a lot when you build them.
  8. I'm following an interesting build log, great work Steven 👍 learn Australian (i think 😉) And history (👍)
  9. First. The schrouds problem Fortunately, cherry wood is very flexible and this can be easily solved. By stretching the frames towards each other. This is something for later, if I do this now I won't have enough space to work in the rear castle. Continued with determining the position of the decks. And the "gun wale". On this beam were the swivel guns placed on the first version of the Mary Rose, on the current version only 3 would have remained. Memory aid. Where is what Adjustment of the stern The position of the 3 swivel guns further surgery of the stern Upper deck and castle deck determined. Upper castle still to do current status Thaks for following
