Looks even bigger with the copper! Cool 😁

I understand for the final box photos the copper needs to be clear and even. Personally...i like when it immediately gets its own patina, it gives a nice weathered look.

Tnx! Nice size and shape...looking forward how this one turns out!

Looks quite big! What's the hull length?

It certainly works faster and is more forgiving. If I get a plate slightly wrong, I can just reposition it or throw it away and add a new one. No more CA gel, but you also don't get the nail marks (if you wanted them). These can be added with a rivet tool from VM or a beading tool.

Great!

I've coppered the first side and will do an update once I've coppered the opposite side and trimmed it down to waterline level. 

 

Here she is so far.

 

Great job James! I'm coppering the Pegasus now and that's quite a job already...can't imagine the amount of work on the Indy! However...I think the copper tape works easier and faster then little plates. What's you're experience with this James?

Looks wonderful and fun to build!

Fantastic! Great coloring too! 🙂

Price is beyond my reach, but someday... lovely to see everything come together!

Man! It's so clean, it almost hurts!

Man...looking at the quality of the Sphinx kit...want to throw my Pegasus in the bin and buy the Sphinx 😄 (not sufficient funds and waste of product if i did  )

Great progress so far! Enjoying your build  

Man...this is beautiful! 

The ship looks really beautiful so far! Really enjoying your build log!

Exciting! Indeed curious how many hours it will take for James...we all know he works with some magic lightning speed  

Lovely!

That Indy is a beautiful design! I wish i had more money on my bank account! 😮 

Great build so far! Nice to see another Pegasus build log...it will be interesting to follow!

Hey Mugje

 

Thanks for the compliment, the support is always appreciated.

 

As for the decoration I thought about it long and hard and considered the following factors before deciding not to do this.

 

1. I didn't feel that it was that much of a realistic representation of what this embellishment would have looked like in real life.

2. Apparently the vessel would only have had these decorations immediately after its commissioning but for the bulk of its career they would not be in place.

3. I was concerned that the provided components may not actually fit that well into the allocated area due to slight variations between the plan and my model.

4. I was told that CA(super glue) can deteriorate over time and I anticipated these parts starting to fall off in the future and ruining the model)

5. I kind of like the somewhat more traditional feel of the model without the decoration on it. This is just a personal choice but she feels a bit more "serious" without it.

 

All this being said, I really did struggle with the choice but ultimately decided that is what would be best. I loved how they looked on the Pegasus built by B.E. but I'm satisfied with the choice on my version.

 

One other thing worth mentioning is that I saw a model where they replaced the blue paint with black and it created a much more aggressive and sinister feel which I really liked but saw too late to make the change. It might be worth considering.

 

I hope you are well otherwise and that this helped with your decision.

 

Cheers, TBE

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have the same feeling about them as you...i also do like the more traditional look without the decorations. 

And regarding the black or blue color... that's something to think about indeed. Thanks for your input!

Looks great man! you've come a long way.

You did not use the golden side decorations? I'm doubting myself to to use them. I'm not sure if i like the look of them.

That is a really neat finish, so clean! Nice job! 

That is a beautiful result! And what a nice presentation of the ship, i really like it  

I understand what you mean...it does look too monotonous, but a great time-saver for those who don't like to plank the deck. But i would too plank it over with some nice planks.

What a lovely job you are doing at this ship! Great!

Welkom Kloppie!

Exciting to watch! You and Chris are on fire with designing and building
