Mary Rose

My completed Mary Rose
Constructed from the Jotika kit but with superstructure scratch-built to follow the modern understanding of its appearance - as depicted by Hunt.
The rigging was also scratch-built using historical information obtained from Anderson and Howard.

Very nice!

Looking back at this I see that the first picture has been duplicated 4 more times. I must have been overpressing the attach button and did not notice.
Question: How do I delete the duplicates, or will a moderator do that?

 

[bigpropdoc]

Further to the above I found the edit button and removed the surplus pictures. I must be getting old....

A lovely model of "a ship too far".

Observation of the mountainous fore and aft castles (possibly commissioned by the King for whom the word NO! would have landed the shipwright in the Tower) gives a clue as to why she rolled over and sank. Perhaps if they had built a model and checked it's stability they would have had a Eureka moment and avoided the disaster.

Very well done….many, many hours of patient work are evident.
Hopefully you have a case over the model….dust and poking
fingers are a model’s worst enemies.

Beutiful! Congratulations! Hunt: Is it a book?

Geoff Hunt is a renowned artist who has done a number of paintings of the Mary Rose. Cheers.

Thanks Graham! Yes, I have seen a couple of his books on the net. Was hoping on something in style of The Anatomy of the Ship. Never mind, we cannot have all we want. Cheers.
