    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" HISTORY (Wikipedia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Rose MUSEUM https://maryrose.org/the-history-of-the-mary-rose/ BOOKS INDEX Frames (bulkheads) Design Building slip and align the frames Fillerblocks Planking Keel and lower hull planking Planking between wale 1 and 3 Treenails Waist an bow Rear castle Build up Fore castle Build up Cannon deck Basis Base plate 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

    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.

    Hi

    Baker replied to mark j's topic in New member Introductions

    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 vlaggen.xlsx @72Nova Thanks for the idea

    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👍
  21. Baker
    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.
  23. Baker
    And good luck with the Jolly Roger
  24. Baker

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.
