You've got mail (soon)
A series of photos from this book.
feel free to post the photos yourself or not. 

A very nice paint job.

Ratlines 

what do you prefer to hold in your hands?
a tarred rope.
or one without tar.

Update,

BTR70  : only needs decals and final wheatering

Nona mortar carrier : painted (Strange camouflage scheme on a Russian vehicle. Never seen before)

BTR R3K  : The instructions to build the turret are the most unclear ever in 38 years of building at 1/72 (at this moment the turret is 90% ready)

Thanks Ab, this is much appreciated.

The further build up of the rear castle

Frames 6, 8 and 10 are laid out using the laser

All frames are in place

Started with the cannon ports

And planking of the stern

Some filler pieces are  first atteched

sawing...

On almost all drawings of the Antony roll a beam (wale) can be seen just below the opening for the tiller

Follow the drawing as much as possible

Result

An oops moment. Where there should be a hole for a cannon are frames.

Time to bring out the isopropyl alcohol. Soak off the glue of the framing and do it right

Thanks for following

I think I read somewhere, that this was because yhis shroud can most come into contact with the sail and ropes.

Complated shape of hull 🫣.

but, i have confidence in you  that everything will turn out well 😉

Much, much better than my attempt. 50 years ago 😉 👍

Great work. 

Very nice work 👍

Everything is a lot more square than it appears in the pictures.

Is that meant for me?🤣
(Rember my comment on your Revenge build)

Good luck 👍

  One can always cut or trim off extra wood as needed, but its often troublesome to add back on.

You don't have a wood stretcher in your workshop? Pity. Neither do I.

A long time ago I sawed a plank too short.
I sawed off another piece of this plank, and it was too short again....🤪
 
Lesson learned 🫣

Haha
 

Very beautiful models.

Thanks for the positive comments and likes.

Further with the reconstruction of the rear castle.

Sawing "beams" 

Preparation.

The first frames.

Take into account the cannon ports of the upper deck.

All frames have been placed. The drawings of the Mary Rose were followed for the approximately correct position.

The chaotic inside has also been cleaned up a bit.  (not exactly the same as the original, you won't see much of it later anyway).

The plywood pieces are the basis for the cabins.

Result

Next: port side

Either it's my eyes, or it's an optical illusion of the photo.
but something is not in a straight line.

Just finished a few gin and tonics.
( could also be the reason 🤣...)

Would it be safe to assume that the seats of ease in a late 16th century English ship would have been in the usual location on the head grating, on either side of the head?

For me, yes.

And that each one would have seated two?

For me, no.

Just one on seat on each side.

Great work. 

Your buildlogs are always nice to follow.

Nice work.

Oops?😉

Thank you for the explanation.
Very nicely done again 👍
