Hi Greg, have taken up your suggestion and added two of the crew in the hold area.... Also placed some sailors, after painting them, into the rigging Cheers Nils

Thank you very much David, there are so many nice places in the world I have not seen yet, and I often look up the cities or states where my fellow modelers are located in, just to get a Impression of how wide this lovely forum is spread around the globe Nils

Crackers, thanks for this Input, (beeswax) I did`nt know that before in order to prevent radiation weakening dammage, and will Keep it in mind. now`s too late for my rigging anyhow.... The main reason I use Polyester thread is, the "dead material" dos`nt sag and by thinning out the Ends per gastourch when fiddeling into the block`s sheaveholes I have given up that fiddeling- in procedure with ordenary cotton thread. Nils

A real nice comment Bob, thank you very much,.... and I`m happy that non of the intended details needed to be given up along the way. I have the complete rigging in polyester thread, hoping that this may not be a disadvantage versa Cotton based thread, due to ultraviolet radiation by sunlight over the years Nils

Thank you Peter, yes, not a bad idea, I`ve been thinking of that before already, perhaps sided paddle wheels, but first the concentration carries on for the KWdG, which will take a lot of time.... Wishing you much fun with "Pickles" Progress and a good Christmas season to you as well.... Nils

Thank you all so much for your congrats and appreciative words to the completion of my build, - Greg - Mark (Tiedens) - Dimitris - Boyd - Bug - Nenad - Bob (Rafine) - Crackers - Patrick - Druxey - Piet - Mark (Taylor) an all the many "likes" A happy Christmas time to all my fellow modelers, much fun and success with this fine Hobby and your projects, and the best wishes for the coming new year.... Greg, a good idea, Ì`ve tried it allready but the figurines mostly slipped out out the tweezers grip, and fell into the hold somewhere..., well think another try should be worth it... Initially I wanted to do a sitting Group (ship`s officers) in the great cabin, but could`nt find suitable figurines Mark (Tiedens) thanks for your nice words... Dimitris, I`m glad you like the results of this "Swan Class" Boyd, kind comment, thanks very much... Bug, would love to see another Pegasus being built in your shipyard, allthough that stage Coach also Looks very interesting Nenad, thanks for those nice words, glad you enjoyed the build Bob (Rafine) thank you very much Bob, I can return the compliment to your "Cheerful" build and for the completed "Essex" Crackers, your Kind words are always much appreciated, many thanks Patrick, thank you very much, and a happy Christmas time, and new year to you and your family Druxey, Thank you very much for your word, and season`s greetings to you as well as a most relaxing and enjoyable Christmas time Piet, many thanks for words , and for dropping in regulary, glad you enjoyed the ride Mark (Taylor) nice comment , thanks very much, it`s hard to believe that the actual ship was carrying over hundred persons, here shown only a fraction of those "crowds" Nils

Build log part 94 COMPLETE This post rounds up and completes the 29 months build duration of my HMS Pegasus in scale 1:64. After putting on rudder chains, all bow-lines with their bridles to the squaresails, and appropriate rigging, the crew and some naval infantry men shipped in today to take over an interception and patrol mission in the northern Atlantic. Perhaps there will still be anchor buoys fitted to the lower fore-shrouds.... Its been much fun to do this build and especially it`s extensive rigging with all those tiny blocks, but now she is a nice sight with all those sails and pushing her wake, riding on starboard bow with braced sails. Putting on nearly all lines the actual ship had, it was a good lesson in rigging. Next week I`ll put the final pictures in my Gallery. Now its time to do the glass display case for dust protection. Due to the modification of the 12 sheet Amati plan set, and building it from scratch (no kit) there are : the large open port side, the half planked decks, the interior decks and the visible inside fitting out. The POB scratch built ship`s boat is an extra, and the access to the forecastle is by a seperate stair / ladderway . Many thanks to all that visited this build along the ride from beginning on, and so many thanks to all comments and appreciations, and "likes", it has been a pleasure and was very encouraging for me here are the first 10 of appr. 20 final pics...... Enjoy the pictures Nils

Hi Bob, the Mr. Base White 1000 is a filler primer I use for small wooden and and brass made parts. The resin based paint applied without primer, is the red one (pls. ref. to my posts # 647 and #681 of the KWdG build log, also the black silicone based paint has a very good adhesion even to the shiny aluminium, but I do`nt know if that would be available in other colors...
