My drawings are a bit sketchy. There are a lot of places that are wrong.
The parts I don't understand are just my imagination.
If you're using my drawings, you'll have to fix the strange parts yourself.
I wish you the best of luck with your work on the Silent Mary.
I am not building the Silent Mary,I meant a separate build log for you that these posts are not mixed together with the Black Pearl!!
It will be in the members section just a separate Silent Mary log
Just wait for the link from me

Dear zoly99sask.
Thank you very much.
I'm going to post some of the Silent Mary's recent work.
What is the scale of the build?

We don't know the actual size of the Silent Mary. Maybe I'm not doing my research right, but I couldn't find it online. I had no choice but to draw a drawing that resembled the size of the HMS Victory.
The size is about 1/98. It's better to call it non-scale.

Hello everyone!
Mr. zoly99sask has made this page for me. I'm going to use this page to post the story of how I made the Silent Mary in the photo above from the beginning, translating it into English as I go along.
Mr. Bryantes is starting to work on the Silent Mary, so I think this might help him. There may be other people who are working on it as well. I'm not very good at this, but I hope it will help.

■The Making of the Silent Mary■
I saw the Pirates of the Caribbean movie "The Last Pirate" on its opening day. I was already curious about the Silent Mary.
So, I searched for materials on the Silent Mary on the Internet and managed to draw a drawing of it with the little materials I had.
I'm going to paste in the images I found on the Internet.
The stern lantern and the tower on the side are CG composites.
This is a design drawing of the Silent Mary.
It looks like the La Clone, a French battleship with 72 guns and two levels.
This is a design drawing of the stern of the ship, and the large lantern looks just like the Sovereign of the Seas.
The whole thing is a Gothic castle, and...
This is a design drawing of the bow statue.
The top one is the bow of the ship before the ghost ship, and the bottom one is the bow of the ghost ship.
I'm still trying to figure out how to make it.
I'm not sure if I should make it out of balsa and putty it up, or carve it out of balsa and sculpt it.
This is a drawing of the set for photography. When I compare the design drawing with the actual hull porthole image of the set, the position of the cannon doesn't quite match...
Well, it's a science fiction ship from an entertainment movie, so let's ignore the details.
This is also a design drawing of the set for filming.
Thank goodness for this image, because it shows the steering wheel part.
I'm not sure about this tub.
It looks like there are two of them on the Ghost Ship set, behind the bell tower on the bow side.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting from scratch, I managed to get all the materials together and made the plans while looking at the materials.
According to the setting, it's a first class battle cruiser with about 100 cannons, which would make it about the same size as the Victory of the British Empire Navy...
However, I couldn't find any setting for the overall length of the Silent Mary on the Internet.
So, if I set the total length of the Victory as the total length of the Silent Mary, and made it 1/72, it would be more than 140cm...(´・ω・`b)
I wanted to keep the model within 90cm somehow, so I took the liberty of setting the overall length of the Silent Mary to 87-90m (the hull length to 65-69m), and made it 1/98, which would make the model about 89cm.
This is a good size for me, so I decided to draw the model in this size.
I set the size of the people to about 1/72 to 1/75.
I might as well make the scale indication non-scale.
Movie sets aren't always made to the same size as the real thing...
This is a good drawing for me to understand as usual. I don't care if other people look at it and say, "I don't get it!
The keel, frame, frame reinforcement plate, etc., are the same as the Flying Dutchman.
It's the frame part, but I don't think I needed this many pieces...
It looks like a pain in the ass to cut out...
I traced down the drawing using carbon paper on 4mm thick cinnabar plywood, and cut the cinnabar plywood.
The tools I used were a band saw, electric thread saw, jigsaw, design knife, etc... I'm covered in saw dust.
From the top: stern tower frame reinforcement plate, keel, and hull frame auxiliary plate.
Frames #1 through #14
Frames No. 15-1 to No. 21
First of all, I glued a piece of wood on both sides of the mast groove on the keel side, and made a mortise and tenon assembly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The wood pieces are glued on both sides of the red arrow part of the keel.
The red arrows are the mortise holes for the mast.
The frame and frame reinforcement plate are temporarily assembled.
The photo shows the port side.

The bowsprit part is also mortised.

I'm still working on the temporary assembly. It's going to take some time. ......(;^ω^)b
