Thanks - looks great :)

The Mary Rose was an English Tudor warship of the carrack type. She was the first ship with cannon ports the first to be able to fire a full broadside of cannons. As Henry VIII's flagship Mary Rose was the beginning of his plan for England to rule the seas.

That is a very impressive looking kit. It must be huge. What are the finished dimensions?

Thanks BazookaJo another great model, right up there with Marvin

Thanks for all the compliments and suggestions. I added bands to my masts but not as far out as on the Meteor I model (that's a beauty by the way). I have tried the solid inserts method and it is good for short tubes, not long ones and the upper mast sections are too narrow to get the insert...

Bluenoser The overlap can be stronger, but I think just soaking the upper portion in CA will do the trick. The upper portions were made of bamboo skewers cut down very thin. Clashter Thanks - I think a Bluenose card model would be great!!

Very nice build. The weathering looks great. I'm not sure I would like to be on one of the mast platform with those loose lines whipping about in gale force winds.

The masts are paper rolled over tapered bamboo rods. For the second attempt I plan to make the rods more robust and soaked in CA. I look forward to seeing your build of the Constitution. That must involve some complex rigging. As to my health, thank you -

Thanks Bluenoser. I'll keep an eye on that for next time. She reminds me of HMCS ORIOLE. A Schooner rigged Ketch I had the privelage, of being invited to sail on recently. It was a great week sailing the Straits of Georgia and Juan de Fuca.

Wow that's fantastic. You have done a wonderful job. Are those metal eyelets in the portholes?

The build is not as clean as I would like and the masts are bent/curved at the top. The rigging is done with invisible thread coloured with a sharpie then attached with CA. Then I borrow my wifes hair dryer/blower to tighten it up.

I have been too ill to do very much modelling lately. However I am feeling somewhat better so thought I would try something relatively simple to get back in the groove . . . This is a 1/250 - Kaiser Wilhelm's Yacht Meteor IV. It's from 'WILHELMSHAVEN PAPERMODELS' as a download. It was a...

Your ship is looking very fine. The hull fix really looks good. Are you glad you started over now? _______________________________
