Mary Rose by Baker - scale 1/50 - "Your Noblest Shippe"

[MikkiC]

Beautiful 

[druxey]

Beautifully done, as usual!

[Baker]

The fore castle is painted.

The painting scheme on the back has been adjusted to more closely resemble the Anthony drawing.

 

Things to consider:

How to properly glue this forecastle to the hull.

There's no room for a knight to hoist the yard of the fore sail.

 

This build is now currently on hold; i'm now temporarily working on the yacht for the Amsterdam exhibition.

It is a pleasure to watch this scratch build project.

I'm hoping the yacht for the Amsterdam exhibition does not pause this for long.

Incredible work, Patrick!

[Baker]

Thanks for the likes and comments. 

I don't know how long the break will last. As i don't have a plan or a schedule to follow. Sometimes I have to think first and build it in my head before I can continue with this model.

[Slowhand]

 You must  continue with this build soon. It’s not only the superb craftsmanship but the historical research leading to the model.

The next step is gluing the forecastle to the model.

 

Since I still haven't found an answer to the question of how the yard of the fore sail was raised, should I do it with or without a knight?

Without a knight is easiest, but then I'll be stuck later.

With, I'll first have to adjust the forecastle decks.

 

I'm currently enjoying building the Corel yacht the most. And I'm learning things on this (practice) model that I can later apply to Mary Rose.

Please be patient, to be continued.

Welcome back, 

The Corel yacht is finished (learned a lot of new things) and the problem with the foresail knight is solved.

 

2026 started with "demolition work".

And overtired staff (again).

But, a knight (basic), a block and rope was made.

Early 16yh century blocks are "special" and complicated to build.

Knight in place (with the screw)

Test.

This setup can be operated with the capstan.

Deck one back in place

Deck two also

Mary Rose is back on track

An elegant solution to the problem indeed! Well done, Patrick. And tell the ship's cat to jump to it!

Thanks all 

Cats : no jumping allowed in the hobby room (he loves this rule)🤣

And catheads.

The only cathead i can find on drawings, etc is on a 21st century drawing. Not on older drawings. So no cathead for Mary 

 

 

And also thanks for the likes 

 

[druxey]

Early catheads appear to have projected forward, not diagonally sideways. Vasa shows an actual example (upper right).

 

[MikkiC]

And there she is!!! Been waiting for her return

[Baker]

There was an anchor david found.

Something like this will be build later
