Omega1234 Posted March 1, 2015 #61 Posted March 1, 2015 Lovely work, John! It's great to see your update, because I was wondering how you've been going. It certainly looks like you're going great guns! I can't wait unti your interior commences; as I'm sure you're the same. Cheers and all the best.

SGraham Posted March 3, 2015 #63 Posted March 3, 2015 John, I just read through your build log. What impressive work! That photo of the bow section pointing skyward is very cool. That must give quite a sense of satisfaction to build something like that from scratch. I'll be following your build with interest.

tarbrush Posted March 8, 2015 Author #65 Posted March 8, 2015 At last the framing is pretty much done. The three hull segments come apart and go back together in the framing jig.

Omega1234 Posted March 8, 2015 #66 Posted March 8, 2015 Very nice, John. Just wondering - will you always have the three parts detachable so that you can view the interior from the front and back? Probably not, I'd guess because that spell real problems for the masts and rigging. Would be pretty cool, though, if you were able to achieve it!

tarbrush Posted March 8, 2015 Author #67 Posted March 8, 2015 thanks Patrick, that would be cool to have the sections detachable. My plan is to join the three segments after I get some of the internal structure shaped, the riders and hanging knees especially.

SGraham Posted March 9, 2015 #68 Posted March 9, 2015 Looks beautiful, John. Are those 3 sections pretty rigid and strong? I'm curious as to how you faired the frames--did you bevel them before you installed them? Newbie questions, I know.

tarbrush Posted March 10, 2015 Author #69 Posted March 10, 2015 Hi Steve, the bow and stern sections are pretty strong. The mid-ship portion is now. I spent some time today gluing extra battens to the frames to make sure it's strong and won't shift while I am working on the interior. It's important that it not shift around at all while I am working on the insides or it might not fit back in the framing jig to join the three sections together. For beveling the frames I did a rough shaping of them first but the final sanding won't be done till the sections are joined together.

SGraham Posted March 10, 2015 #71 Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks John. I was just looking back at the photo of the three hull sections in your post #65, viewed from the top. It's very interesting how sharp the bow of the Mary Rose was. I wouldn't have expected that, but then, I don't have much experience on which to base expectations. I wonder if that was common in that day.

bear Posted March 10, 2015 #72 Posted March 10, 2015 Hi John What plans are you using for your build and interior details? I have been building the Jotika 1/80 Mary Rose kit and having Rick laser cut me a 1/48 enlarged version. I have all of the Mary Roses trust books and other books for my builds. I would like to get a set of plans that you are using. Maybe they have details that my library that I have now on the Mary Rose desn't have. Sent me a PM on getting the plans. Your frames and progress looks great. I am working on my Panart 1/47 Royal Caroline until Rick gets me the decks for my 1/48 laser cut short kit that he has been working on and cutting for me. I also am working on the 1/80 Caldercraft Mary Rose kit. Keith tarbrush 1 Quote
tarbrush Posted March 11, 2015 Author #73 Posted March 11, 2015 Steve, I know I was surprised too at how fine the lines of Mary Rose are. Look at the lines drawing on page one of my log. Keith, the plans I am using were drawn by David Meagher and I believe they are still available from Taubman through Loyalhanna. Try this link: http://www.taubmansonline.com/ I have a photo of each sheet on page one of my build log. will pm you with more info. petro 1 Quote John future build: to finish Mary Rose http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/8507-mary-rose-by-tarbrush-scale-172-1545/?hl=%2Bmary+%2Brose completed builds: Constructo Steam Launch Louise

tarbrush Posted May 12, 2015 Author #76 Posted May 12, 2015 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. john mtaylor and Cap'n Rat Fink 2 Quote John future build: to finish Mary Rose http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/8507-mary-rose-by-tarbrush-scale-172-1545/?hl=%2Bmary+%2Brose completed builds: Constructo Steam Launch Louise
