    OC. thanks as always - happy that you dropped by as well.
     
    -- Been much away from the shipyard as well as from home base for a while;
     
    I did finally, however, finish stropping the many lines for the gun carriages. My recent focus was for the ten main deck larger carriages. Here are a few images - Next up is securely positioning the carriages then attaching all lines. Then onto the hull gun doors - I think??
    Again thanks for your visit - this log is a real slow one indeed.
     
    Cheers,

    Hi all,
     
    Patrick – yes, the magnetic panels - seemed to be the best idea given that I much later in this build decided to add lights. 
     
    Peter – as always thanks
     
    Mark - thanks as well - your work is so excellent happy that you like how this bit of the build is looking
     
    Richard – so glad that you dropped by and are again working with your awesome Bluenose - thanks for the kind words.
     
    --------------------------------------
     
    It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted an update.
    Started work detailing the carriages. Short text - images have some notations.
     
    Thanks so much for your still continued interest in this very “slow boat to China” build log.
     
    Enjoy your year-end holidays….
     
    Cheers,

    Keith, the end is in sight, but I think it takes a lot of time to get there. There are at least a lot of things to do left.
    Ian, no with these sticks and ropes I would't play. 
     
    Today the Tiger came up from the basement to see some daylight. It's quite a large model.

    md1400cs reacted to Baker in Mary Rose by Baker - scale 1/50 - "Your Noblest Shippe"   
    Planking the bow.
    Purely speculative. As mentioned earlier, the planking here is horizontal, on many carracks it is curved vertical, but at the time of the sinking of Mary Rose this seems to have become somewhat old-fashioned. most drawings then show horizontal planking.
     
    First, a clean up on the inside

    Then the bow is built up step by step.

    The bow is planked. Not clearly visible in the photos, but there are still depths and heights in the shape here and there. But the planks are thick enough to sand away these imperfections.
     
    And. Not happy with the errors on the right, but we don't see anything about this later. Needs further sanding (left)

    With the cardboard fore castle. In this setup the height is already 1.5cm lower.
    Next, sanding, applying treenails, etc. to be done.

    Hello,
    the wheels are now installed and rigged.


    And that is what you later will see of it. But the shipwright is pleased and spend a beer for the crew

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.
