Continuing with the cannons and preparations for the main deck. The forged iron cannons are constructed from polystyrene tubes, the inner and outer diameters of which differ by 1 mm. These are then glued to the wooden part (carriage) and provided with an iron pin. They will be finished later. Making 4 stairs and the support of the deck. With dry fitted fore castle and (to long) bowsprit

Mary Rose 1511 — the epitome of the Northern tradition
Baker replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Nice work, This shape looks familiar to me Didn't the Mary Rose originally have a round transom in 1511. And only after the conversion a flat one? -
Masts and yards. During the last vacation, the possible dimensions were drawn up. (All this is largely guesswork). A few months ago, wood was sawn. pine wood with thin grain. Age?? But the tree was sawn at least 25 years ago. Nice weather to work outside, So the "lathe" was set up. Own construction, not a pretty thing. But it works. All masts parts are"semi" ready. Together with the main yard.

Nice. Looks much better than the Matchbox kit from a long time ago. I don't know an immediate answer to your question, it's going to take some searching. Scale 1/1, fore sale 😇 https://tracksandtrade.com/nl/kavel/1944-comet-a34-mk1-model-a-celerity

Preparation of the cannon deck. Since there is no grating in the deck above, there is little or no visible interior of this deck. The intention is to make the carriages of the cannons as simple as possible. And only add the (half) cannon barrels later. The first attempt failed, fortunately no photos. The second attempt was with wooden blocks. Reasonably good, but too visible when the sunlight shines on them. The third attempt has now reduced the size of these blocks and painted them completely black. This will be the method used for the bronze cannons. Wit wooden block adjusted wooden block an final methode
