I fully agree. But, the advantage of the MRNS book is that I have a lot of drawings on a scale of 1/100. And it is easy for me to enlarge them to a scale of 1/50. So I'm going to make the sections of MRNS and place them next to the current bulkheads. And then see what makes the most sense. I promesed this build would be a long way to a finished model. I'm doing this well, haha 😇

GTX Boxer and 2 MAN trucks by Baker - FINISHED - Revell - 1/72
Baker replied to Baker's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Spending more and more time on my Mary Rose, a small update. The 6 x 6 is assembled and painted in the camuaflage sceme. The 8 x 8 box opened and started Thanks for following -
Testing my suspicion. After enlarging the section drawings from the MRNS book, these sections were all copied separately. A first test clearly shows a difference with the drawings (bulkheads) from the AOTS book. Grrr All these (some of of them expensive) books and in none of them you find the simple mention about the length - width of the hull. So i continue with the keel length and the beam in feet. Length keel 60,... cm and beam 23,... cm. The sections from MRNS seem to match better the 23cm than the bulkheads from AOTS 24.5cm Next plan. Making these extra bulkheads and do a better shaping of the the already made bulkheads. Better to do well now than to have problems later.

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.
