Mary Rose 1545 by tarbrush - Scale 1:72

[Omega1234]

Hi all, I thought I should give an explanation of what happened rather than just disappearing.  My Mary Rose project in on hold now for an indefinite period.  Sometime in March I fell on ice and hit my head hard on my cement driveway.  Now after 3 weeks in the hospital and 2 brain surgeries later I am home recuperating.  I start physical therapy this week to try and recover my fine motor skills.  Hope to be back in the saddle eventually but it may be several months away.

Hi John

 

I, like just about everyone else that was enjoying your build log, was wondering what had happened to you because I hadn't seen any updates for a while.

 

I'm very sorry to hear about your fall and I wish you a very quick and full recovery.

 

All the best!

 

Cheers

John,

 

How's it all going? It's been a while and I was wondering how your recovery is progressing.

I'll second that!  Sing out when you're ready for an update.

Hi Guys,

recovery is going slow but I am out in the shop modeling again, I am working on an extremely simple Chesapeake Bay buy boat.  probably won't try working on Mary Rose again till next winter.

[Louie da fly]

Well, best wishes with your recovery. Keep in touch.

Good to hear about your recovery. Best to let these things take as long as needed to ensure a full recovery.

 

All the best!

I'm so very sorry about your accident and that I just stumbled across the post. I hope your therapy is going well and helping your recovery. Take care and looking forward to seeing your work move along!

Dear sir tarbrush

Given the coronavirus disease, I hope you are in good health.

I am a ship enthusiast.

I read with interest your story about the beautiful ship Mary Rose.

I would also like to build a model of this ship.

Unfortunately, even after much research, I was unable to find a good plan. 

I saw with great joy that you were lucky and found a GOOD PLAN, by DAVID MEAGER.  Please be so kind and help me get a copy of this plan. Copying on paper would be perfect. Obviously, I pay the costs of the transport and the plane.

I hope you will read my message.

I wish you a good weekend.

Hi Mathew

I haven't touched my Mary Rose in years now, I will hunt around through my stuff and see what I can find.

[tarbrush]

Hi Matthew,

just thought I would check Amazon before I dive into the mess of my old plans.  The book I used: "Mary Rose Your Noblest Shippe"  included the plans I used.  the book is still available at Amazon here.  https://www.amazon.com/Your-Noblest-Shippe-Anatomy-Warship/dp/1785701592/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Mary+Rose+Your+Noblest+Shippe&qid=1638723147&s=books&sr=1-1

their price for a new book is $72.  For building your model this book would be a very worthy investment.

Matthew,

look for a PM from me later this afternoon, I will let you know what I find.

[Mathew Baker]

Hi Tarbrush

First I tell you that I am very happy that you answered me. Thanks a lot.

I thank you for the recommended title of the book. -I own this book, and with great interest I studied the book. It contains both historical information and naval engineering information. UNFORTUNATELY, at least in the book I bought I have NOT FOUND a REAL GOOG PLAN, as well as the one you photographed on the first page from DAVID MEAGHER, with many frames. (In your photo I could count 19 frames ) 

--I searched the internet with keywords - Mary Rose plans and David Meagher 1997, but unfortunately I found nothing, no plans to buy, no to download.

I think you were lucky to find that plan so complete. And precisely because I saw the images of David Meagher's plan that you photographed on page nr.1 , that I thought I'd ask you for help.

Maybe with a little luck you will find it again.

I wish you a good week, and a good feast of Saint Nicholas.

Hi, John.

 

I"m glad Matthew brought this back. I'd been wondering how you were doing, but haven't been in touch. I hope you're doing better.

Ahoy Mates, Here's my Mary Rose 95% scratch built using just the bulkheads from the Jotika kit.

[tarbrush]

good to hear from you Steven, I've been enjoying your builds and posts.  for recovery, my manual dexterity is back, problem solving ability, not so much.  Matthew's post got me thinking about trying to work on Mary Rose again.  I've been looking at plans for a Hanseatic cog lately.

 

Keith, your Mary Rose is stunning and very inspirational!

[Louie da fly]

Glad to hear you're doing better, mate.

Hi Tarbrush, just wondering how it's all going.

 

Best wishes,

Hi Steven, thanks for asking.  I haven't been out to my shop in a few months now, but I still always check out the forums enjoying all the builds going on especially yours.

[Louie da fly]

Good to know, mate. I realised I'd not been in touch and had no idea how things were going with you. I hate it when people just seem to drop off the forum and you never know what's happened to them or if they're still out there.

 

I'm glad you're enjoying reading the build logs (including mine!) - I find a lot of enjoyment simply doing that even when I'm not actively building. You don't have to build to enjoy being on the forum. I'm currently at a bit of a slow patch, not sure what is my best next step. And sometimes I have to just stop and let things percolate mentally before I know what is best to do next. (OTOH sometimes I rush into things without thinking them through enough first, but hey, I never said I had to be consistent).

 

Good to hear from you.

 

Best wishes,

 

Steven
