Mary Rose 1511 — the epitome of the Northern tradition

I meant the texts you and others have linked from time to time, not the posts in this forum. -
Mary Rose 1511 — the epitome of the Northern tradition
Alvb replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
If only these texts were available in a precise German translation, how I would love to delve into them... -
The ominously obscure object on the chainwales and the scuppers.
-
Thank you backers and everyone else for the recognition and likes.

The chainwales: No details are discernible in the Brueghel painting. Chainwales aren't even visible for the fore-shrouds. My interpretation: The main shrouds are attached to chainwales, while the fore-shrouds simply have their wales reinforced at the lower edges of the forecastle. Its bent side makes wide chainwales unnecessary. The shrouds still run freely from the side.

Mary Rose 1511 — the epitome of the Northern tradition
Alvb replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I'm currently building a small model from roughly this era. I realized that the bow area doesn't match the visual impression Brueghel creates in his depiction of "Icarus." The design presented here, with its strongly curved breadth sweeps in the bow, comes closer to that. Therefore, I've taken the liberty of applying the presented method to my design. Thanks to your clear description, it's easy to transfer. Only the reconciling sweeps—circular segments that connect tangentially to given arcs—should be easy to find using graphical methods, but no! Could you perhaps briefly explain to me how to find these sweeps? Thank you very much. -
The macro shots are merciless... ...but slowly it is taking shape.

Wales (Is this the correct plural form?🙄) and Standarts in progress. In fact, I am not sure how to construct the railings with the shields on top of the castles.

Thank you for your detailed explanations. I consider your work extremely valuable. The constructions are understandable and easy to follow. The only thing that wasn't entirely clear to me was how the regression curves were determined. -

I am just a little surprised that on the one hand people had experience with such stability problems and knew methods to mitigate them, but on the other hand they built ships with these very deficiencies. -
All cannons and swivel guns are now mounted in the aft fort, so the aft deck can be relocated. Next, we move on to the forefort.
-
It is currently 5 3/4 inches or just under 15 cm.
-
The first 18 guns in the aft fort have been mounted. Five stern guns are still missing.

The armorer has started work Forged from cigarette rolling paper.

I have the same thing coming up, only 5 times smaller....
-
Many small decks need to be installed! You can see inside from many places. Before the upper decks are glued on, I still have to fit the heavier guns. Once the interior work is complete, I'll continue outside...
-
Thank you very much for the likes everyone. @Snug Harbor JohnnyYes, I could. But next I should maybe make a better version of the Brueghel.😂
-
Oh yes, it will indeed be set on a sea. I wasn't thinking of an Icarus, though.
-
The planking of the hull is complete.
-
The bulwarks are installed, as is the front bulkhead of the aft castle. The bulkhead of the forecastle will have to wait a bit longer, as some of the interior still needs to be added. Still missing are the lower planking on the hull and the uppermost decks of the castles, as well as the whales. It's turning out quite nice and already shows significant differences from the painting, especially in the shape of the lower bow. I'm looking forward to the rigging. Hopefully, I'll be able to capture the character of the sails. (Although the depiction of the mizzen seems illogical to me.) Best regards, Alvb
-
In my analysis of the painting, it has become increasingly clear that while the depiction appears to be perspectively correct, it is not. The optical foreshortening and the vanishing point perspective, as well as the perspective of the bow and the stern, cannot be reconciled.
-
Hello everyone, As already mentioned in the other thread, I've started building a Breughelche carrack. The hull is slowly taking shape. (I'm afraid it doesn't have much in common with the original anymore... never mind.) Greetings Alvb
-
However, the Anthony drawing shows a completely different design for the bulkhead. Arches or arcades instead of diagonal stripes. What is the reason for your design?
