With the beam for the swivels on the port side also installed and the frames made thinner, time to continue working on the transom.
The clinker planking that was previously installed has been removed. And the intention is to install two stern chasers here, the openings of the swivels will then remain empty.

Applying the same number of cannons as the Anthony drawing is not feasible. A nice drawing to show to a king, but not a practical design in reality.

Several attempts...

And after three attempts it became this.

Finish the holes for the swivels with a beam on top
First i make grooves. This is more work, but positioning the beam correctly is much easier.

And above this beam back to clinker planking. This will provide more strength when the frames are made thinner later.

Thank you for the nice comments.
In the meantime, I've had a moment where you say to yourself "kieke" Flemish for "chicken".

A fun way to say stupid 🤣
The plank is clamped and the clamp is now blocked

And the iron wire, which kept the sides of the rear castle at the right width, and on which I have already cut my fingers a few times. has been replaced by a pair of threaded rods.
Safety first at the shipyard 👍

Threaded rods are a much better option! And I don't recall that the original ship had permanent clamps....

Thats a boomer :) I think a few minutes how would i recover the clamp

Good news. The clamp has been surgically removed and repaired.
Model and clamp are doing well after this medical surgery. :Whew:

Well done, good and faithful clamp. 😆It says something about the devotion you have to this wonderful build that when it's a choice between model or tool taking the hit, it's the tool... quite right, too 👏

 

Glad to hear both will make a good recovery. And thanks for sharing your thoughts, processes, steps (and even missteps) with us. I'm sure I'm not the only one learning a lot.

This time an update without a  misstep.;).   Everything went according to plan :Whew:

 

The bulwark (frames) of the upper deck  

Logically speaking and thinking.  This bulwark is constructed with partial planking and shields. In accordance with the waist, where there are also partly shields, why should all frames reach the top? If their only purpose is to hold up a beam with shields hanging from it?
Therefore, the height of the majority of frames is only up to the planking. And some go higher, the distance between these frames is approximately in accordance with that of the waist.

 

Saw the frames to height

20240619_191350_1280.jpg.d2e0187d36f523637a588fedf669680d.jpg

And then narrow them to the 3mm

20240621_184102_1280.jpg.a5fe78dc83f88777e779519877f460a6.jpg

Then a beam is glued above the clinker planking. The connections are only to maintain sufficient strength on the model.

A new "frame" is placed  And the longest frames are narrowed. and to 3mm.
The height is speculative, the shortest frame was the size.

20240628_193314_1280.jpg.2432f008cd2b12df399f7c5f7795cbcd.jpg

 

Starboard is ready, just a small beam needs to be attached at the top. Some extra planking is done (arrow)20240628_193347_1280.jpg.78a46e8e1c3edf21656d7d49edab504c.jpg20240628_193404_1280.jpg.5e0a776ad3016576088169f7048b2ea9.jpg

Thanks for following, likes and comments.

With all frames made thinner and the last planks attached to the stern, the rough shape of the hull and rear castle is largely finished.

A lot of wood chips.. And the first jar of PVA glue is empty

With paint pots visible in the background, time for some freshening up of the hobby room.

  You provide a step-by-step 'instruction manual' on your excellent resurrection of the Mary Rose.  One that helps me with ideas on my presently suspended Great Harry build.  Of note is that there are heavier strakes at intervals going up the stern castle (reinforcement, no doubt) with lapped clapboards in between.  There appears to be a 'gallery' level where a row of lunettes (or other shaped portals from which weapons would be fired) are to be placed.  This band could be planked differently than the lapstrake clapboards above and below.  These 'bands' of planking between reinforcing rails makes the 'layer cake' decorations seen on the Anthony Roll (and elsewhere) make sense.  The top deck level allows for spaced shields.

 

  Your build log is a wonder o behold.             Fair sailing, Johnny

There is still a lot of work to be done.
I'm thinking of sanding and painting this part first while the hull is still a bit manageable.

 

Well, I find building the model more difficult then expected 😉

 

The "holes" in the rear castle will later be covered with shields.

20240703_164954.thumb.jpg.912be18fbb75a55b3ea5d112d8bff855.jpg


But first i need to clean up the hobby room and paint the walls.

And then probably first clean out cabinets containing approximately 1450 models...

Patrick,

 

Just catching up - wow! really impressive, as always, work. You're so well capturing this ship as she must have looked centuries ago.  Your

research is also always spot on.

 

Cheers,

Michael

Have you given thought to leaving shields off of one side of the model, so that those sniper cutouts are visible?

Yes,
depends on how well I can finish the interior on this deck

A very small update 

 

Mary has been sanded outside the house. And no further progress 

20240719_090403.thumb.jpg.0523ddcbf20b76dbac40abe491269de6.jpg
The room has been reorganized and repainted.

20240710_111837.thumb.jpg.86d9949eaf0ed9d88dffc9abed3f948c.jpg

There is more order.

20240717_185503.thumb.jpg.a80be138842f85865790114b8ec1c0d4.jpg

And the big clean-up has begun.

I discovered military models that I didn't remember ever building them...
