Hi Crackers, thanks for your comment, the white ensign I`m using is the Naval one from 1707 - 1800 without the thinner diagonal red cross in the top left quadrant of the flag. The Red ensign you are refering to is the one from 1800 - present for civilian ships (with the thinner diagonal red cross in the top left quadrant of the flag). Nils

Hello Peter, thanks for the welcome back, as you know, I`m a freind of figurines, so there is some painting to be done on a bunch of British naval soldiers in their gaiter trousers, that have been appointed with a mission (war of independence) down at the New England US coast. These are nicely molded exactly at scale 1:64, and will provide fine little color spots on the decks. In the moment the arms and fire-arms are still missing just like the belts that cross the chests over the red jackets. The standplates will be removed, before they go aboard. Can imagine putting a marksman up at the main top, some at the swivels, etc. Nils

Hi Marc, The plan is giving a general (side view) overall sectional drawing and several decks in bird`s view. For building the model I enlarged the former file I borrowed from the web and made it large enough on paper to suit 1:1 model / plan, for the build in scale 1:144 Of course there has to be some design work for establishing the lines- and frameplan, like I described earlier in the build`s posts Nils

Congratulations Don, a very nice model of the "Gorch Fock 2" next to the the model itsself, the full set of sails is looking very good, will make an excellent Display object in it`s case Will you be going for another tallship ? What is your planing ? Nils Ammendment : Don, I`m very sorry to hear (your other post today) of your passed away freind and you taking over of his already started "Bluenose" project Wish you all the best with it and a good success in honour to your freind. That answers my forestanding questions by itsself Nils

Many thanks B.E. and Boyd, for your nice comments, and for the activated "likes" B.E., yes, I tried to use same wood tones. a little bit brass here and there, and scarcely a little black paint. I trust one can tell it`s from the the same yard.... Boyd, thanks for your word.... Nils

Build log part 90 Hello fellow builders, my last pics concerning the HMS Pegasus are from August 2015, now that the KWdG build is enjoying a break in the moment, I am sorting out where I`m standing with the "Swan Class" sloop. It is somewhere in the rigging, have to groove myself in again. Meantime here some pics of the ship`s boat, which is now ready for taking on board, although it has set on some dust over the months (black areas) Nils
