Thomas, this is a very beautifully crafted model, congratulations on your skills, for muppets like me struggling with my first build it is an awesome example ! Love it to bits, Thanks for allowing us to follow and learn from your build. regards Frank

Hi Jacob, Thanks for the reply, have only just found it after over two years? you must think me very ignorant! the cannon I am thinking of would be about 8" in the barrel lenght. but untill i have some idea of how to machine around the trunnions I will not attempt it. I have a small lathe but it has not the capacity to swing that length? regards Frank

Hi, Folk, just browsed this subject as I am interested in casting Canons in brass or bronze bigger than model size's! and wondered where the thread would lead? some interesting comments and suggestions, but I cannot fathom out ( if I ever attempt this) how to machine the Trunnions after casting? any one got a comment on this??

Hello Bob, A Newbie from UK. came across your log following usefull links from one superb site to another, I am attempting the Pegasus as per the unbelieveably able B.E. Just browsed over your log and admired your work very much , You have chosen the blue nose which is a beautifull boat and I love her lines! I really want to build a siilar boat myself if I ever get this one finished? But I suffer from the usual failing of the british as I also respect the other great boats such as the underdog which very nearly beat the Blue nose, I refer to the Gertrude which seems to have disapeared into oblivion, as you have researchd this vessel, May I ask if you have found any information on The Gertrude to which I might refer? Information on this side of the ocean is scant and I have only found a picture or two thus far! really enjoyed your log and thanks for adding to my meagre knowledge with the help of your log, Best regards Frank

Hi Andy, I was folowing your log when the disaster occured, very glad to see it up and running again as it is helping me to get started on my own Pegasus, As a newby I have found members logs very informative, I note your waist guns are fully rigged ? 2mm blocks ? tried working with these little blighters & found it very difficult not to split them with my finger nails slpping into the grooves. any tips? apart from cut nails? Regards Frank
