rdsaplala Posted February 18, 2013 Share #91 Posted February 18, 2013 Excellent work on the boats, Ray, the added stowage and other details really spruce them up.

Ray Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share #94 Posted February 20, 2013 A toggle in action The anchors added The ships boats stowedThe two ships boats have now been stowed and lashed down. The anchors were also added, only the rigging left of for access still to do, and the swivel guns to be mounted, the finishing line is just ahead.

Beef Wellington Posted February 20, 2013 Share #95 Posted February 20, 2013 Ray, thank you so much for recreating your build log, it is a real wealth of knowledge on the basic techniques that are invaluable to learn from others by 'seeing'. A really beautiful build! Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

Ray Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share #96 Posted February 23, 2013 The final rigging has been completed this was all the rigging left off to give access to the centre of the ship, a bit of a sence of relief that its all done, only the final photots to sort out and post. Top masts Rigging around the centre it shows how it would have interfeared with access to the boats. There is a lot off it Quote Ray Current build A set of HMS Diana`s boats @ 1/48 HMS Royal Marine a Military class Trawler Completed HMS Diana Completed build The Lady Nelson Completed Build HMS Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share #97 Posted February 24, 2013 HMS Pegasus completed Well Pegasus is finished, its been a three year build a bit longer that I anticipated, but we did move house during that time. How did it all go, the quality of the kit was very good and I recommend it without any reservations. Looking back on the build there were no real problem in producing this fine model, for she really in a handsome ship. The most daunting part of the build was for me was undoubtedly the rigging, not the standing rigging but the running rigging, mainly because there is an awful lot of it, but in the end it was not that bad, the key to this I think was leaving access to the centre of the deck which made tying off the cordage ends ok, I will say one thing, I did use a fair bit more cordage than came with the kit. The most difficult part of the build was probably coppering the hull, but it does look great when finished. I also think fully rigging the cannons and adding the rope coils were well worth the extra time and effort. Final thoughts a great kit, makes up into a super model but not for the beginner, I hope this log helps other Pegasus/Fly builders. ******** HMS Diana is next ******** GrandpaPhil, Mirabell61 and JayCub 3 Quote Ray Current build A set of HMS Diana`s boats @ 1/48 HMS Royal Marine a Military class Trawler Completed HMS Diana Completed build The Lady Nelson Completed Build HMS Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulcanbomber Posted February 24, 2013 Share #101 Posted February 24, 2013 So glad you reposted the Pegasus log, I refered to it quite a bit during my build and now I can continue to do so. I just hope she looks even half as good as yours.
