Trussben got a reaction from giampieroricci in HMS Pegasus 1776 by Trussben - 1:48 - Swan-class sloop based on TFFM August 14, 2020

Lower deck framing continues up to beam no.9. This can be frustrating work to keep everything correctly spaced and symmetrical, constant adjustments need to be made as well to account for drift.
Layout for the aft framing including the beam arms can be seen.

Trussben reacted to Chuck in Medway Longboat 1742 by Chuck - FINISHED - 1/2" scale November 22, 2018

Indeed she will be fully rigged.....first with no sails, because that is probably what most will do. Then I will rig it again with sails.

VERSION TWO of the stand. In yellow cedar. I like this one better.

She’s a beauty Chuck, are you going to add a full rig and sails to this one??

Trussben reacted to Rustyj in Medway Longboat 1742 -1/2" scale by Rustyj - FINISHED November 13, 2018

Medway kit purchased Thursday AM, Shipped that same Thursday, Arrived Saturday, Priceless!!!!!

As expected the contents of the box were packed very well and nothing was damaged in transport.
All of the sheets of wood were very nicely laser cut with reference numbering etched on the wood to assist in identification.
The yellow Alaskan cedar has a very nice look to it and the cedar aroma is an unexpected added treat.

As Greg said "This sets the bar for what ship model kits should look like!" and I couldn't agree more!

Ships Plans,

Packing List

Friezes

Packaging

Various laser cut sheets

Comparing Queen Anne Barge Frame Size

The rest of the kit parts and strip wood

I marveled at how Chuck used the laser to cut joints and a channel to the correct depth for us!

I have a couple of minor projects to finish first but the temptation to start is like an itch that you can't reach to scratch!!!!!!

Glad to say I was able to purchase Chucks new kit , The Medway Longboat from the second batch, ordered on Wednesday and delivered on Friday.

As per the norms it was well packed and complete as per the picture, everything looks well machined and the yellow cedar aroma is great.

Hi

Thanks for the likes and comments.

I made 5 of the sweeps and displaying them on the little stands that Chuck supplied.
Here is the QA Barge completed and in her display case.

This has been a really fun and fulfilling little build with enough complexity to keep me interested to the end.
Chuck you are to be congratulated on a great kit that will be enjoyed by many people and I may have to have a go at your new longboat when it’s ready.

Back to the Pegasus build.

Couple of pictures of my slow progress with painting, I’m not very good at it and have to use many thinned coats.
I will start with the spreaders and then the Thwarts next.

You will also see my Confederacy build in the background, she has been cleaned off and some repairs were made to her from our house move a couple of years ago, after the barge is completed I will be working on her alongside Pegasus.

Thanks for the Likes.

So the fancy panels went on really well and the friezes that Chuck supplies fitted inside them perfectly.

Also I scraped the trim pieces with a home made simple profile.

Now for the carvings.
