That is looking good Pierre, be sure to lay a plank at different locations on the hull making sure the plank sits flat on all bulkheads. I noticed in your signature you have the Santa Maria "on hold". That is one I want to build also, sometime in the new year.

That looks real nice Dave, those mouldings certainly add to the look, once rail is on she will be so sweet. As usual Great Work Dave!!

Thanks Dave. I know you mentioned it somewhere but did you get those from micromark?

Looks real good Dave. The mouldings should give it that little extra. How do you like that scraper? It looks like it does a nice job

Hello all just a small update, Thanks to all for stopping in, for your likes and great comments.
I finally got the courage up to cut all the holes in the deck and I must say all went good, and I also finished up my ships wheel.
Not much to be said the pictures say it all. the cuts were made with a 1 mm end mill bit then finished with a file.
The very first picture shows the outline for the aft hatch which I spent considerable time measuring, marking and double checking..............even though it was perfectly square and centred I had to erase all of it as this is the bow . Things got better after this, glad I didn't start to cut. The deck has one coat of poly now on it and will get two or three more
Enjoy
All deck furniture and masts are just sitting in their places, nothing is permanently fixed yet.
Have a Good Evening

I say if you likie it buy it, as it has been said it is extremely cheap entertainment. If it is the Pegasus you want talk to Rick at Modellers Workshop, he is located in Montreal and is great to deal with. I bought my Pegasus from him

Real nice work Bob. I think I need to get my eyes checked, the rigging looks almost blue in some of the pics.

Nice work Mike, I like your wood selections. Does the yellowheart hold its colour or does it turn. I bought some dye I am going to try on some osage orange, I am hoping it will keep it yellow, for on the Pegasus.

Hey Dave, all is looking real nice. Without any carvings on the transom I think I would skip any quarter badges. Some lights would probably look good, and would be interesting to watch you build and install them . If you were thinking of carvings possibly the ones Chuck(NRG) is offering could be fashioned to fit, obviously not the crown but the viney things. At $5 a set it may be worth a try, and if they don't work at least you have gained a little carving experience.
