    For a good rivet effect you can use what's called a pounce wheel, which is used in the leather industry to put dimple designs into the leather. It looks like a cowboy spur. Micro-Mark sells them at difference scales to give the effect of rivets. Link: https://www.micromark.com/3-piece-Pounce-Wheel-Set The pain is keeping the line straight and not bending your copper. Other model sites sell the individual copper plates if you can find the right scale. What you did works for you, more power to you.

    Got it. Thanks.

    @Moonbug, where exactly does that little cupola go on the aft deck? Could you show it in place? I’m on the last bits of the deck railings on my Pegasus and if I like it I may copy off of your design.

    @CoscoH, yeah, I have an old build log that is being shut down soon, so I wanted to load that content before it’s permanently deleted and I lose it all. To accent the plank seams I used the side of a Sharpie marker along all of the edges. Works like a charm.

    I’m coming at this build log late. I’ve progressed a lot since these were taken, but I’m not done yet. Rather than recap in detail, I would like to post these pics of Pegasus at various spots that take me up to where I am now and I’ll pick up the build log there. Bulkheads on. Planking the gun deck. Gun deck completed. Starting the details. Pumps. Put rust detail around them. First layer of planking. Port side first layer done. First layer sanded. Second layer done and in homemade clamp. Putting gun port planks on. Gingerbread. Started to paint. Stern gallery attached. Copper plate on. Another view of copper. Gun jig I made. Gun tackle in. More deck furniture. Ship’s bell. Railing before Railing after painting and polywipe. Gold gingerbread on stern. Gingerbread on stbd stern window. This catches me up to my build. I am building a stand at the moment. Once it is complete, I will continue with the log. Jason

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
