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 👍

I build this a long time ago.

Will be a nice model, good luck 

Nice work.

I have never seen the red, white and black bands on the turrets on a German ship from that time

was this so then?

A typical Flemish or Dutch name.
Are you sure you live in Canada? 😉

My apologies…it seems as if my pictures rearranged themselves…

That is your own choice.
If you are satisfied with the quality of the rope provided in the kit. Then use this.
if not, buy better ones.

The standing rigging is normaly darker than the rest. 

Darker tan or black (own choice)

Welcome back.

Nice work 

A very nice result  👍

The rear castle.

Not much is left of the original. So from here on, most becomes guesswork. The frames of sections 6,8,10 and the stern are used as a basis

The first test isn't too bad.

The stern in the drawing has an unnatural bend (personal opinion). That's why I'm going to deviate a bit towards the outside.

The first 4 frames have been placed. They are still too high and probably too thick. But these 4 must be long and sturdy enough as a basis for the rest
The intention now is to first provide more frames on this side of the model.

Update,

BTR70  : only needs decals and final wheatering

Nona mortar carrier : almost ready for painting

BTR R3K  : chassis ready (after some struggles... )

As always ,
