HMS Pegasus by Landlubber Mike - Amati/Victory Models - Scale 1:64
The Pegasus will be my third build that I will work on alongside my current Lyme (based on Corel Unicorn) build
The Pegasus is a 14-gun 6th rate sloop, the sixth built of the Swan class. Despite being a gorgeous ship (due to having been built before the Admiralty issued orders to minimize decorations (especially for lesser rates)), her history is not all that colorful. She was launched on December 27, 1776, and in October 1777, was lost in a storm off the coast of Newfoundlan
I've managed to get some planking time in, and have 12 rows in per side. The ship probably needs about 16 per side when all is said and done. The kit lime strips are very good to work with. They are straight, and take bends well. The only tricky thing is that it can split if you try and pin it towards the ends, as you can see in the bow and stern shots. Man, the close-ups make things look really rough and messy, so it's a good thing that this will get covered up
