Happy belated Birthday  Kevin, your ships always look so impressive,  amazing work.    

Very nice work, it's  amazing  to watch.  Some one mentioned  rocks, off to the right  side, just a few and maybe  a  few  P

elicans, floating around,  lol.  

Hi Loracs, for me , At the bottom of the page there is three little  dots that say "more" click on that. Then go to the article data base, there is all the information on how to line off your hull, and planking info.

 All you need to know about planking is there. I have been studying it for two years, just about got the hang of it , lol. 

 Good luck my friend,       

Well I got side tracked again,  lol, this time the life boat. I was getting ready to tackle the planking  and saw this  metal life boat,  so I looked at a lot of Pegasus logs, and 9 out of ten scraped the boat. 

   Well  every time you turn around on this ship you got to up grade, cannons, swivel  guns, stove, life boat, and I have to buy more blocks if it is rigged a certain  way, they don't  come with the kit. Sheees.

 Oh well, I can't keep buying  accessories,   So this is what I come up with for my life boat.

I open the plastic bag,  and ll this was inside. The little peice of instructions  didn't make sense.  There is no bell on the life boat, and these bars are for what.lol.

 Getting  some ideas  from the logs this is what I came up with.

 I got some oars that when sanded down will look pretty good  I think .

  Marvin tells me to put this all away and come back to it later, I agree lol. I really want to get at my planking but there  are way to many distraction.  And outside work is calling again 🙄,  but I am hard of hearing  lol. I do plan on putting the life boat away till later in the build, this was just fun to do and I like it.

On to the planking , lol, thanks for all the help and likes.

Peter, Andrew, add a couple more  and have one sleeping on a pillow at the stern, but I think that's been done before lol.

 It is your boat, as far as the mast goes,  it was built in 33 A. D. So it would have been pretty simple, but like I said it's  your boat what ever you decide it will make your's wonderful . You will be happy with the results,  great work my friend.  😬     

It looks good to me. Once the sail and rigging is done it will be fine. I never did a thing to my mast, and it looks good . I just double checked  to make sure lol.

Are you going to use amber shellac  for the finish? It looks good and easy-to-use.  I got mine at Lee Valley.  I mixed up  4 once, but you only need two.  Great stuff. It will make the boat shine .

 Regarding the rigging   the two wire lines lose alot of white paint  when you install them  , thouch them up after you get them to how you like them, last thing I did on mine. Great work my friend.     

An amazing amount of detailed work on this ship, wonderful work. Will be waiting to see what is up for the next build.  

Congratulations!!!  Wonderful looking ship, great work.     

Nicely done,   I just started mine and can see some  ideas  that I will try to emulate,  big emphasis  on try lol.  Thanks for posting, well done.     

Glad to hear you are feeling a whole lot better,  but ware your mask sanding at all times, safety first  😀.   Awesome  work!!!

Great work my friend, your very good at making oceans,  can't wait to see it all together.  This is the most exciting part, the race to the finish,  so we can start another lol.   Amazing work,    

Not knowing what a Nef ship was, I looked it up and looked at Louie de Fly's 

log of his nef . Seeing these and looking at others  here's my view. Build an early one that has free standing castels, looks better to me. But it's your ship my man,  I will follow along as I know you will make it exciting  no matter what you pick. Just my opinion  lol.

So with full intention to finish the second layer of planking,  I got side tracked.  As soon as I had the second layer on from the whales up , I  want to try out some colors I had  for this. The yellow  could be brighter I will  see on the starboard side,  I  will make it brighter then pick. It's only hand painted  just to see lol.

 Then I found a back up Pegasus  figure head, just in case the kit supplied  one does look good lol.

 I made my top capstan, with the holes for the pins and chains but decided not to make the chains up at this time lol.

The wheel looks good from four to five feet lol it'll do, lol. I have decided on how I think I want my Pegasus to look so here goes we will see. I can always repaint it.  Lol 

I don't  know much about cannons,  but these come with  a touch hole and a little  King emblem  on them and really look good to me . Even Marvin  likes them. 

GRANDPA,  The  First Mate  and I want to say He's  adorable.  He will be able to help you build later on, big help picking things up lol.  

  Model seems to be coming along nicely,  how ever did you find the time lol.  Thanks for everything  Matey .    

Bovine Blockade of "B" words won't work on this site. Apparently the owner has a love for "BEER". LOL    

Good luck on your journey!!

Don’t you mean “udderly” disgusting?

That's what I thought he wrote in the first place  lol 😆,   .

Very nice work, bending the ribs are a breeze compared to the planks. Bending them and how you do it is all part of the fun, what ever works best for you.  You will be able to plank anything now lol, Great job. now wasn't That Fun, LOL.   

That is so amazing, you can even make cows look pretty LOL.  You do such impressive work my friend, this will be even more impressive than your last impressive SIB, power on my friend.        🐄  

Welcome back that is.   

Thank you everyone  for following  along. Today the First Mate  and I paid a visit to fellow member @Gabek,  It was a wonderful  visit.  Mrs Gabek made us some delicious bannock, it was fantastic.  Also Gabe and I did a little bartering,  for a bit of corn, 4 dozen, a bag full of cucumbers,  and a small box of Tomatoes,  he made me these correct  scale cannons, 20 of them and a stove that fits right into  place on the Pegasus.  Thank you !!!

  Time to finish the second layer of planks.  Then the copper.  I am doing a good job on the planks, go figure when all is said and done only 1/2 of and inch of planks show  on the ship.  After it is coppered then painted only a few planks show, lol. But at least it is  planked to the best of my ability as of to date lol.

 After I got home , I ran down to the shipyard, and took all of 5 minutes to clean and paint them all. Lol 

 So I put everything away for now,  going to do the  second layer of planking,  followed by  the copper, then finish a little more painting. Then start rigging the cannnos, lots of work there lol. Well that's it for now, I still can't  belive how much you have to change in the kit to make it look better.  You buy a kit at a good price then pay a good price to upgrade, oh well that's business I guess. Lol. 

On to the planking and coppering  

Bob M.

 Congratulations  on your first build log,  we'll done. I wish you luck on your journey!!! We will keep an eye out for more builds. Any plans for your next??
