Well back to work on Mary Rose after a little vacation. When I got back home the hull looked even worse to me than it did before I went on vacation. I am almost glad I have to start over, and I am sure it will come out better this time. I have been thinking I will try doing the re-build in an upside down Harold Hahn type jig. So far I have re-made the keel/stem/sternpost and have make the sloltted base for the build jig. One idea that I am toying with is building the hull in 3 sections. Midship section, Sterncastle and Forecastle. I am thinking it would be easier to detail the interior of the hull with the end of the section open, then join them together. Any thoughts on that?

Glad to see you have started! I am really looking forward to this build.

Pilar is a great looking boat, are you going to go with black for the hull? I think I would. anyway, good luck with your build, I will be watching

Thank so much for the suggestions and encouragement guys! I really appreciate it. I will be leaving to spend Christmas with my son and his family, after the grand-kids are done playing with me I am sure it will be a tremendous relief to get back to modeling. Merry Christmas everyone -
Sounds like an interesting idea. I am pulling up a chair to watch.

What a revolting development this is Today I took Mary Rose out of the building jig and took it into the house to look at on top of the cabinet it is going to go on. When I sat it down on the kitchen table I had a view of it that let me see it was lopsided. there is more ship on one side of the keel than the other. sigh. I have to decide what to do. finish a crooked hull or start over. Right now I am leaning toward starting over. It may come out for the best I will do it differently next time and it may not take as long to re-do everything as it did the first time.

just a quick update, I have started gluing frames on, things are going ok but slow. I am hoping to get all the frames glued on by next Saturday, then starts the fun of detailing the inside.

whoa! thanks Steven!! those research papers and theses from Texax A&M are really a treasure! I have many happy hours of reading ahead of me. what a great resource! and by that I mean you as well as the papers and theses. -
Hi Mark, your build is looking good, I can't see the problem at the stern that you mentioned. I think you will be glad you are doing a build log. I was hesitant to start one for pretty much the same reasons but I am glad I finally started one, Your model will benefit from it. I have received some advise on my build log that surprised me that anyone knew that much! I will be following your build with interest and hey that is one BIG plane in the 2nd photo!

thanks for the links Steven, I've saved them to my Mary Rose file. I really like the 2nd link to the British Library of Images online, I have had a fun coffee time this morning looking at other images as well. what a great resource! -
Nigel, I spent my morning coffee time going through your build log from the beginning and am just in awe of your skill, Your Sovereign is just gorgeous!

"I'm glad you're ok with it. I was a bit worried that I might have come across like some kind of fault-finding miseryguts, rather than trying to help." LOL :D I have never heard "miseryguts" before, I love it, I am going to use that. -
