Daniel, more research:
 
    Model Shipwright's first 7 issues featured, "Building  a 17th Century Dockyard Model" by Ewart Freeston.
 
    It is described as a, "Sixth Rate of 24 guns from a draught proposed by William Keltridge 1684.
    1/4 = 1'0". Length of gundeck 87'8". Breath 23'6"."
 
    I hope you find this ship as enchanting as I did and will lend you my copies 1-7 if you want them.

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

You're absolut right, Mark. Order is order.
 
I only got the order to finish my sloop, before I start another project.   So I am very happy with my admirality

Christian,
As with all things.. Admiralty orders.  "All ships are to be finished.  Not left looking like they need more work."  And it looks like this one will be getting sails as she's been pushing on that.  So.........  orders is orders. 
 
 
I've got a pile of different grades of Scotch-Brite that I forgot I had.  Bought them for a different project.   Hmm...  we'll see.  Once I get the other side done...   It's actually looking less glossy today so maybe it wasn't fully cured when I took the pictures.

Nice to see you back in your shipyard

Mark,
 
I don't know if you've written something about this. But I don't have any idea, wha do you do the whole work of a POF model (or a Hahn styled frameing) and plank both sides of the hull?
 
The planking job looks really nice

The mill (Proxxon MF70) is truly great. Very precise, and with a proxxon cutters it cuts pear as butter. On the lowest possible speed (5k rpm), even with 1mm cutter!
 
Here are some first cuts and a first thingy produced on the lathe:

 
Now I can cut joints like this in no time! Hooray! Previously such joint will take me 30min minimum, and it would not be that precise anyway:

Not a lot of progress, still cutting the gunports. A lot of work, not enough time for modelling...

 
Added this monograph into the collection. Who knows, maybe that would be the next project in 5 years?

 
Santa read that build log and decided I really need some new toys!

 
Now I have 5 power tools hidden in the different parts of the modelling table, and still some room left. How do you guys manage to occupy the entire workshops? 

Hello,
 
Another small progress update.
