    Hello Mike, Thanks for dropping in. Sadly I have to say the Pegasus is sitting on bench with no work being done on her. I will get back to her as soon as I finish some of my other smaller projects I have on the go.

    Samson: Thank you so much, you are right about the kit it is a real beauty. MarisStella takes a lot of pride in their products
     
    David: Thanks. I can't take too much credit for the blocks as they were laser cut. All I did was to install the sheaves and shafts into the blocks
     
    Jim: Thanks. MarisStella makes the blocks fairly easy to build
     
    Mike: Thanks Mike and congratulations again on your completion. The decking is beech, I think it is a fine looking wood well worth having on hand
     
    Dave: Thanks. I also have three of the sanding blocks always loaded and ready to go. Hope you are feeling better
     
    OC: Thanks for stopping in and for your comment

    Good morning all. Thanks to all for your likes, comments and for stopping in.
     A month has passed and there really is not much progress to show. Time has been spent on other little projects and of course the all important holidays. As our spring is far from starting this year the next few weeks should prove to be a little more productive, I'm hoping.
     At any rate here is the progress:

    The bending problem was solved by milling some walnut and cutting to shape, three pieces per side
     

    The results for the freeboard, scarf joints cannot be seen but I know they are there
     

    Scuppers drilled in hull
     

    scuppers in deck
     

    $ holes made in hull for mooring ropes
     

    Hull blocks assembled
     

    Hole started for block
     

    Block installed
     
    How it looks now with two coats of flat black paint, below waterline will be copper plates.
     
     Thanks for stopping in and have a good modelling day!!
