I like your practice of pinning the gun carriages to the deck. I’ve just used glue under the wheels, but no matter what type of glue I use, they seems to come lose all too often, which creates a super headache particularly under a planked deck! I also pin the trunion caps, with glued pins, but have had the same issue. Henry

That completes the standing rigging for this build. I can identify with Blue Ensign’s comment about the effect of rigging on the back and neck. With Spring now upon us in southeastern Massachusetts, I think I’ll take a break and prepare for the eminent Striped Bass arrival. We live on property that extends to the banks of a tidal river on the coast where the Spring migration of Stripers offers excellent fly fishing opportunities from shore, a good diversion from endless hours in the basement.

Significant error discovered. I should have added a fifth deadeye to the mizzen channels to accommodate the mizzen topmast backstays. But didn’t recognize that the 3-D computer images omit a mizzen top gallant. Instead, I used the deadeye aft of the quarter badge for the topmast backstays, leaving no deadeyes for the top gallant back stays in my version of Pegasus. We’ll, it seems that my choices now would be to 1): redo the entire mizzen and its channels , or 2): redo the stool aft of the quarter badge to accommodate an additional deadeye. I’m leaning for the latter, but would be welcome to hear from the group.

I didn’t actually measure my bow sprit angle other than following the process described by David in the book. I had to shorten the neck on my Pegasus to accommodate the bow sprit. The real problem for me was accommodating the bob stays which have to pass between his legs and is very dependent on the location of the bob stay attachments. I had to extend the bobstay piece accordingly. Not sure how I could have avoided that. Henry

What is the cumulative error that you refer to. I’m assuming you’re speaking about the bow sprit angle? Henry

She’s looking really great Kevin. You’re showing me what it should look like. I’m loving reliving the various steps. Henry

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
