    Great research, All those "hull lines", I've studied them many times. It's still Chinese to me 😓. Et votre connaissance de la langue française 😉

    Neat planking 👍 Congrats

    I went to technical school and learned to design and build molds. I graduated in the early 80s, but due to the general economic crisis, no one needed an inexperienced mold builder. It became assembly line work at general motors and ford. So building plastic and later wooden models was my salvation.

    Nice work, congratulations 👍

    Some Mary Rose info. Drawings are 1/50 scale. The position of frame 1 in the hull and drawing Frame 3 And indeed, a shape you would expect from a carrack

    The bulkheads are glued to the keel. plywood decks in place To make this plywood easier to bend, cuts have been made on the inside Now to do is shape the bulkheads a bit better and bevel them. The hull shape does not match a Dutch yacht from this period. But fortunately we are not building a Duych yacht 😇

    After testing where the foremast and bowsprit could be placed. A base of the forecastle with the curved sides is glued to it. Final check if it is neatly straight. Everything is ready to start on the sides

    Great start, and good luck with Mary 👍 I also have the book "Anatomy of the Ship: Tudor Warship Mary Rose" a very interesting book. But, I sometimes wonder how they get the detailed drawings of a parts of the ship of which nothing remains. Be careful with the information from this book. 3 decks in the castles is quite high. I am curious what the result will be.

    And indeed, starting a build log is the best way to get help.

    Here we go The plywood is beveled at the keel and bow. And the new keel and stem are ready, these are connected with a scarf joint. Gluing Test, pretty ok Dry test bulwarks, also ok By using the plywood and the walnut planks as deck, I have to lower the bulwarks and the plywood keel piece at the top by 2mm. Sawing To be continued.

    Indeed 👍

    Thanks. And the wood is indeed of good quality. öß or ß ??? Neither letter is on the keyboard of my pc or smartphone. We do not use these in the Dutch language. So I did a "copy, paste" of the text on the website of the Maritimes museum in Hamburg. A German museum that cannot spell a German text correctly on their website....😪 Btw, English, German... never learned at school 😇

    The yacht D'Oro from Corel actually looks like the replica (called Sehnsucht) of the Great Yacht from the Brandenburg Navy. This kit from Corel dates from 1973, the plans and especially the instructions are completely off. Bought at a very good low price. If you really want to build a yacht from this period. For the same retail price there are better quality options. A challenge ... 👍 I think this the only existing painting of this vessel There is a model in the Maritimes museum in Hamburg Content of the box Drawings "instructions...." plywood more plywood planks and others fittings PE parts The supplied walnut planks for the hull will be used for the decks and such. For the hull itself, planks are sawn from pear wood. A set of new flags is also made and printed on tissue paper

    Current status I suspect I'm going to get into trouble with the bowsprit this way
  17. Baker
    Work in progress 😉

    Me neither, he made cannons for me too 👍 the fore and rear castle of a carrack do indeed get narrow at the top. also check in advance if you have enough space for your standing rigging
  19. Baker
    Thanks Steven. Plan b Plan c 🤔

    Small update The construction of the fore castle has only just begun and i already doing it wrong. There simply cannot be a beam in the middle because then there is no place for the fore mast... So new plan is needed without a beam in the middle. On all of Anthony's sketches of the large ships there is no "figurehead". Only on the contemporary drawings. So I am now starting with a regular triangle as a base.

    Revell has chrome paint in a spray can (expensive) but also in a regular jar for the brush. https://revell.de/en/shop/product/chrome-spray-150ml?srsltid=AfmBOoogGk3qsx-Qh53CITe_fct7Ysy0_VkL5CZVw2KTfprmXiImrFtn

    A bonaventura mast, yes or no. Your ship seems to be about the same length as Mary Rose. So it is possible. Maybe it is best to decide when the hull building is in an advanced stage. Then it will be much clearer whether the bonaventura belongs on the model or not.

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.
