Hi B.E.

Thank you for taking us along on your exciting 7-year-adventure (and for rebuilding that outstanding log).

You created a real work of art and a reference for other builds and builders.

I'm looking very eagerly forward to the next adventure.

Cheers

Peter

It's a amazing build. Your knowledge and skills are above and beyond most of us mortals (referring mainly of myself).
Thank you taking the time explaining things and showing us what's what etc.
Regards
Doug
 

It's both sad and joyous to see this ship finished, B.E.   I've thoroughly enjoyed the voyage.  But... I'm also looking forward to your next venture.  

Ahh, BE -- I find myself feeling ambivalent about seeing you conclude your fabulous log.  Every day I have looked forward to an update on your Pegasus, to admire your skill and enjoy your English wit as you narrate your procedures and sources. 
 
Congratulations, and get going on something new SOON!
 
Cheers,
 
Martin

I also would like to Thank You for all your time and effort and for sharing your knowledge and techniques with us all. I will be so looking forward to your next adventure.

It's been a real privilege, as well as an education, to follow this build B.E. Thank you for all the extra time and effort you have put into the log for our benefit. A truly beautiful model of which you can be justly proud.

Thank you for all the references. And thank you for completing and allowing us to  follow along with such a wonderful log.

Thoughts about Pegasus
This post concludes my build of seven years, and one I have thoroughly enjoyed, as I have enjoyed sharing this journey with my fellow modellers on MSW.
The  beauty of this model is that it is large enough for detail but not so big that it raises any serious display issues. It is also highly decorative and is placed in the period before the Nelson chequer and austerity removed much of the decoration from Georgian ships.
Victory models are the ‘posh’ end of Amati a bit like Lexus and Toyota, and the basic kit produces an attractive model of this pretty bijou Frigate.
Thanks are due to Chris Watton who designed the kit, and to Amati who produced it. Even so, most commercial kit manufacturers make simplifications to extend the appeal to a greater range of modeller ability, and include somewhat out of scale and generic fittings and Amati is no exception.
Much of the enjoyment for me has been in enhancing the kit by use of different materials and fittings and bashing it about a bit with a fair amount of scratch building.
Apart from the basic skeleton and some of the brass etch, very little of the kit provided material and fittings have been used, and I am quick to gloss over the additional costs involved.

 I am quite pleased with the end result of my build and there are only a  couple of things I would have done differently were I starting now.
1) I would have reduced the width of the first(Bridle) port to make it narrower than a standard gun port.
2) I would have included the bands of top and butt deck planking on the upper deck.
 I would also hope to improve the finish in some of the areas where my knowledge exceeds my skill to carry it out.

I will finally post some completion photo's in the next few days. 
 Thank you all for following along.

Hi Christian, I have had a look in the AotS book on Diana and David White does not show additional seats of ease in the aft corners of the headworks, but that space on your model is exactly where such seats would be fitted.
David Antscherl in Vol 11 of tffm  (Para 11.33) does indicate fitting of these additional seats as an option for the Swan model. I didn't on my Pegasus because the headworks are quite small and a Sloop is a much smaller ship than a Frigate.
 
In the book are photo's of the Frigate Minerva model (Rogers Collection) which clearly shows these additional seats of ease, and my inclination would be to fit them over that space or at least fill it in with additional grating strips.
Regards,
 
B.E.
