    Looks gorgeous Chuck.

    I use a Worksharp 3000 system for my full size chisels and stones for my really small ones.

    What I meant was the shape of your counter was too much, see your blue vs green line, use the shape of the frieze to improve that - I had the same issue and had to fix it some just like JJ - its easy to over sand that area when fairing the hull. My frieze didnt fit perfectly either,

    It appears to me that you have sanded the bottom of the lower counter too much, it’s easy to check - look at the plans at the stern section or print out the frieze for that area and hold it to the counter to see if you need to make adjustments, better now than when you come to plank and find it’s wrong.

    Thanks - its nice to be back!

    Work on Pegasus starts again. First on the list was to tie the upper deck into the wing transom.

    Chapter 4 work has begun. The 6 false deck parts have been installed, then the filler pieces for the hawse holes were put in.

    Nice to see you back with a build log Andy.

    Nice progress there, my planking took over a year to complete!

    Sweet project

    I did use the fruitwood gel stain that Chuck recommended, i just used a paintbrush to apply it not too thick, left for 5 minutes, wiped off with a clean rag and then used a dry brush to get it out of all the nooks and crannies and allowed to fully dry. Then I held them up to my hull planking to see if it matched and reapplied it as needed to get the right tone.
  12. Trussben
    I sure did JJ.

    Stern decorations completed and the end to Chapter 3.
  14. Trussben
    A little more work at the stern gets me closer to finishing it up. There was a little bit of clean up needed around the lower counter and then the frieze and moldings below it were added. Also the rest of the cove pieces were installed and outer fish/dolphin figures added.

    1:48 would definitely be my preference in scale and size as any bigger it will take up a lot of room when fully rigged, and I think it’s the perfect choice for a full rig. And obviously the matching scale with Winchelsea means you could display them next to each other.
  16. Trussben
    Thanks - slow but steady.
  17. Trussben
    More work on the aft decorations.
  18. Trussben
    I’m certainly interested if you go ahead with this project in POF @ 1:48, with a full rig.
  19. Trussben
    I Like the sound of a “Passaro” designed full POF kit, that really would be awesome!

    Nice progress, I found that when I lined off my hull planking that I needed to do more fairing in certain areas, that’s the big “tell” of if it’s faired correctly. Ben

    Beautiful

    I am currently selling a set of Boxwood CNC carvings from Jack if anybody is interested.
  23. Trussben
    Send me a PM if interested.

    Hi I have a brand new in original packaging set of Boxwood CNC carvings as seen here for sale, I had totally forgotten that I had purchased them from Jack and found them in a drawer while searching for something else, and have already used the resin parts instead, So I offer them up for sale for the original price of $320 with free shipping inside of the USA. If worldwide shipping is needed myself and the purchaser can come to an agreement on what service and cost there would be for that.

    So working on the Transom details now, it was painted cerulean blue, the ports red and the timber heads flat black. The laser etched transom moldings were cleaned of char and installed and then I installed the Counter moldings and the Frieze between them and started getting the lower counter ready for its frieze.

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.
