Ondras71 reacted to Ferrus Manus in Mary Rose by Baker - scale 1/50 - "Your Noblest Shippe"
I don't think there's a problem with talking about shipbuilding. I personally value the discussion about the specifics of the Mary Rose. However, this is Baker's build log, and he gets to decide what is necessary and what is not. The intention (as I interpret it) is not to ban you or discredit your valuable research, but simply to get along with the build. Personally, I am excited to see the forecastle!
I hope no offense is taken from this response; none is intended.
Cheers!

please
Don't start endless discussions like you do in other build logs.
thank you

Ondras71 reacted to Beckmann in TRE KRONER 1742 by Beckmann - 3"/8' scale - Transom-Model
Hello everybody,
At the moment I am planning how to colour the interior of the lower deck cabin.
I've looked through all my picture books and picked out a selection of interior shots. There are all sorts of things:
Left natural:
Or bright blue:
Or the panelling and rear gallery inside in black:
But also red:
The more detailed pictures are from the Princess Royal, red bulkheads, inside of the stern gallery red, sides natural with red beams and black below the ports, red deck beams and knees:
Is there any more information on this anywhere in the literature?
I actually wanted to paint the lower cabin red, with a stern bench, rudder trunk and one or two rows of supports in red under the red deck beams. Then white in the upper cabin.
Nothing has happened yet, here is the status of my work, I would be pleased to receive suggestions for the correct colour scheme.
Best regards
Matthias

Hello and thank you for your encouragement,
In the meantime, I have made some progress on the lower section of the stern-gallery and added the cornices and surrounds for the parapet panels. The gallery windows have also been partially installed, but still without glazing.
The basic structure is already quite recognisable. There is nothing new to report on the craftsmanship at the moment; it is essential to create the correct bending radii in advance so that each moulding finds its correct place in the arrangement.
The foliage carvings will later be inserted into the black fields below the window gallery and the arcanthus fronds below the side gallery, but there is still some way to go until then, although my fingers are itching to get started.
But first I'll continue with the interior of the model, the panelling of the lower cabin is laser-cut from 2 mm pear wood, the posts and transoms are placed along the markings. I originally wanted to leave it natural, but now I'm leaning towards painting everything brown-red, like the windows of the rear gallery.
Best regards,
Matthias

Hello. Bending the wood should be tested so that there is not too much or too little heat. I dip and stroke with solder, still wet, otherwise the wood burns. At some point, the wood softens and behaves like rubber. You shape it, or clamp it, and it hardens into shape. I create a paper pattern with the angle of the bend, I shape accordingly. Stronger wood bends better, very weak slats collapse.
Here are my observations.

Greetings Kirill. Thank you very much for your response, you hit the spot where I was wondering about mast height. I calculated the masts according to the table in the book "Mondfeld - Historic Ship Models" and the dimensions fit the plan.
However, the lower parts (main mast, fore mast, mizen mast) still seemed short to me. I compared the masts with the masts according to the Zeehaen plan and they turned out to be about 10 percent longer. So the masts are raised.
The Main yard and Fore yard locations will now sit as well..🔥

Mast parts done. Topmasts supplemented with pulleys..
Making basket supports called Mast Cheeks. Again processing the glued and then soaked parts..
I have already reached model height..💥

Good evening, last week I was busy with the door hinges of the pump house. They're okay for my first hinge.
Furthermore, today I sanded the hull and filed the water channel into the frames.

Now it was the turn of one of the more complicated parts, which I didn't really want to do - the fashion piece.

I finished the swivel cannons on the railing.💥
I created new smaller chambers..
After blackening..
The last visible detail, the chamber pins..
The last parts of the hull, chamber guns, placed..
And now I can rush to the rigging!!🔥

Good day Ondras,
Now overall appearance looks much more proportional!
Nice job... follow your building with great interest!
All the Best!

Good day Ondras,
Lovely model and hjgh level craftmenship !!!
Like it very , very much!!!
Could it be happened that designed "masts" happened to be too small ( kind of proportional issue) for the size of the hull ?
of couse it is just my private opinion /impression after watching photo of your build log , I understood that everything made as per original drawing , but... :)))
All the best!
ps
Could it be played in some comp. drawing programms , how general rigging plan will be ooks like , if masts , top- masts , etc...all will be increased in length of approx 5 to 10 % of original drawing size ?
