Any Progress Jeff? -
Enjoy the Planking - there is plenty of it!

Making the main hatch gratings as per TFFM, wow - when you make these at actual scale thickness they are very thin, flimsy and easy to break. I haven’t decided if I will stain the comings black or leave natural pear.

Thanks Greg, yes it is nice sometimes to jump between them, I have not yet decided if I’m rigging Pegasus but leaning slightly towards it! I am definitely not rigging the Winnie.
-
Well done! It appears you nailed getting all the QG angles correct and parallel to each other.

Main mast partner cross chocks have been made along with the mizzenmast partner and Capstan step. Now I have started with the main hatchway coming - it’s aft side has been carefully notched to accept the cross chock so it spans across the beam halfway.

Excellent Progress Chuck, the upright framing technique you have developed for Speedwell is really superb - I look forward to see how you do the cant frames and the Bollard Timbers!

JJ - I personally actually find it better to have two builds! When I get annoyed or distracted with one I work on the other one for a bit.

And the pumps and Capstan.

Mocking up templates to start making the Quarter pieces, not sure if I will be able to make them from a single blank or will have to split them into 2 or 3 pieces.

Started building the stove.

Bit of a question here. I am trying to reconcile the draft and TFFM regarding the main mast partners and the Main/Aft hatchway comings. On my draft it shows the comings on the partner sides going over the top of the partner cross chocks as they go to the edges of the beams. Would the comings have been cut around the partners so as to land some part of them on the beam?

Well, as much as I respect some peoples views - I do respect my own taste and views as well - captains choice - so here is how my Pegasus will be going forward!

Thanks Greg, I agree about the carved letters to a degree, I do not intend to paint the stern with the motifs ( done that on Winnie ), but I think with the simple black background and sanding the letters down a bit more flush in that process it will look like I envision it.
-
Thanks Chuck! So the central coving carving had a little depth added to it as per Druxeys suggestion. The Aft Lights have been fixed in place along with the Taffrail, then the inner counter Timbers were sanded down to match the taffrail curves and then the central portion of the capping rail was glued in place. I made a slightly larger upper counter piece and need to finesse this into place now and decide it I want to paint it’s background black again ( when natural you can hardly see the lettering when more than a few feet away ). Next job after this will be making up the quarter piece blanks.
