Well, one thing I know for sure it's something worth waiting for!

Gawd, I so have to start "shipbucketize" my own ink-pen drawings of various historical ships, such as the St Erik (A Swedish carvel ship from 1560), Mars (another Swedish 16th c. ship), Grace Dieu (Edward III:s "Great Carrack"" from 1418), Prince Royal as of 1663-66, Swedish Royal Ship Svärdet from 1663, Danish Christianus Quintus from 1665, Soleil Royal of 1748, Foudroyant of 1694, El Fenix (1749) and a few more...

Looking forward to it.

Gah...just add more pressure...

Bezo...twist, squeeze, tighten.

Kht, you could always scan them at about 96 dpi, scale them down and call it good. As I recall that's about what th SB drawings are. I've not considered doing any of my manual drafting stuff. Thinking about that, I wonder where I stashed most of those drafting tools, curves, etc.

Question!
Grace Dieu is not the Henri Grace a Dieu? Right?

Nope, Henri Grace a Dieu was Henry VII:s and latter (Henry VIII:s) great carrack, built in 1509, rebuilt in 1530-35, and as such depicted by Anthony Anthony.

Grace Dieu was a huge carrack (some 170 feet between perpendiculars!) built in Bayonne for King Henry V (Not Edward III, as I stated erronenously in my previous post!), in 1415-18, and "abandoned" around 1430.
She carried some waist guns and had guns in her focs'le and stern "castel" (as it was called).

Sometime in 1984/85 I made a reconstruction of her, based on her technical info, and the few known pictures of her, in ink on paper.

Aha! thank you for the information, well I quite fancy to do Henri Grace a Dieu.

A break in study, why not!



I'm personally happy with how the rivets are coming out but that's just my biased opinion, does it work?
