This looks great! Precise work with lots of small, delicate parts. 👍 How will the sails keep their shape?
Once sewn and ready, the sails are coated with beeswax. This ensures that there is no longer any frayed structure of the cotton. And the sail is getting a bit stiffer.
Then the front and back are smeared with diluted PA glue, and i let the sail dry in the desired shape (and, it keeps the desired shape)Cotton sails are indeed too thick on this scale (I've been warned, and they're right)
But the general structure and shape is not that bad, i think ( and i like to do stitching and sewing)

Ab
Thanks, much appreciated
Further with the fore sail
"Rigging" a parrel ( needed two attempts) I made a whole work plan. Which turned out to be only half correct. For the main sail I make a new one So DO NOT follow this.
Parrel Tyes and Gere in place.
And I now see that the rope of the left "lift" needs more beeswax...
Progress over the next few months will be slow,
The wife (and me also) wants a new bathroom. -

First see if this method works.
And then I'll tell how.
And if it didn't work
Then I'll tell too, so everyone will know that this method was wrong😉

Thanks for the comment, likes and following.
The parrels.
How many rows of trucks are used at the yards? I come to an average of 3 and rarely 5 at the main yard ( on galleons and carracks).
The parrel ribs are finally succeeded and "tested"
The trucks are leftovers of Billing Boats material (plastic) painted and polished with a paper handkerchief. And the ribs are painted.I will largely follow this example (the ropework on the parrel will by challenging)
First attempt at shaping the fore sail (general test) and most blocks have been applied in the meantime.

The layout is in the well-known New Vanguard style. First edition was in 2008
By Angus Konstam & Illustrated by Tony Brian
The subject is :
The design of late medieval ships and carracks (and the Mary Rose)
The operational history of the navy's of Henry VII and VIII
Armament and tactics
Easy to read and with beautiful photos and color prints.
Contains general information about the subject.
If you want detailed information about the Mary Rose.Then this book is not suitable (my opinion).For some reason some of the photos are on their side

Small update (With spring in the air, there was a lot to do in the garden).
The parrel ribs give me a headache. Making them manually is a time consuming disaster...
So plan B, started with the big machinery first. And then later the "better" work with the file
Blocks, work in ptogress
Current status
A batch of blocks and a lot of raw material that would one day become parrel ribsThanks for following

This rebuild of your models is very interesting to follow, and you are doing a great job.
