    To all those who replied thank you. Great advice, @flyer sent me an email with advice on what he did Thank you Peter. And a thanks to @David Lester who also dropped me a note and gave me great advice, I now know the difference between crosstrees and trestle trees. The blocks go on the crosstrees fore and aft , a double on the inside and two singels on each side. The trestle trees run fore to aft, the crosstrees run port to starboard.. Thanks again everyone. I now can start drilling holes in my model, in the right place. MSW comes through again. What a great form. Happy New Year to all.

    You are an amazing modeler, the color is very realistic. You are right about a few shape edges. A little green moss and it will look exactly like the picture. Amazing work. Have a Happy New Year and all the best for you and yours

    Thanks @allanyed. but I did notice the blocks were not right. I just can't figure out the row of blocks on the back trestle tree, on the foremast. Being looking around and saw @flyer has some on his Pegasus, post number 35, I will reach out to him. . But I can't tell how many and how many holes in each. I'll figure it out lol. As soon as somebody on MSW tells me lol.

    Hello my Pegasus friend's, I need help with block placement on my Foremast. The plan shows 2( L ) single blocks and one (O) double block. When you look at it face on the blocks look like they are on the front trestle tree . The two single ones are on the outside edge, when turn sideways the blocks look like the are on both trestle trees. I drew green circle around the blocks in question. I can not see what kind of blocks they are, one hole or two. Main mast picture. In the second picture you can see the foremast blocks on both peices # 75. Thanks for your help.

    Well I finished the tiller , again. I am calling this time great for the tiller, looks good to me lol. I also finished the safety ropes around the stair wells. But I am afraid the sickness has got me. Lol. I was the last hold out , now the entire family has it. Everyone gets a box of kleenex for Xmas. Lol. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. Bob M. And Captain Marvin.

    Well I finished up all the stairs, now just have to tie a safety rope around them to complete them. Tomorrow. Also tomorrow I will finish up the tiller. Yes I re did It again. Added two more blocks, now she looks just like the instructions. Lol. I switched the rope again and went with a .75 natural rope. Don't matter I won't be doing it again even if it is wrong lol. So now it's time to black-in all the chain plates. And the mast look really fun to do . I can't wait lol. I ordered a new Pegasus figure head, it took 9 days to get here from Italy , not bad this time. I open the bag and dumped it all out, and would you know it. I broke a wing right off the bat. I was so carful about the rest of it. I fitted it and painted it, Marvin told her back in the box till we are done for you lol. Merry Christmas my friends, thanks for looking.

    Thank You @aliluke, I fixed them this morning , just had to take the ring off and turn them around.
  21. Knocklouder
    Ok so I could not wait to fix the tiller, it was bugging me to much. So I repaired it, it does look better 😏. Lol Before after Merry Christmas. lol
  22. Knocklouder
    Well Anchors away, they turn out not bad. I have made four Amati anchors on previous builds, and I learnt that if you round off the Shank and don't drill the hole in the stock any bigger , it works for me. My bottle of Blacken it, is getting low, you can't get it here anymore so time to start conservation lol. So I got all the parts together, blacken-it what I need to and put them on. I came to the realization that I used the wrong rope on the tiller, so I am going to redo it . If you zoom in you can see the difference. I think I will redo the ropes around the stair wells as well. I used .07 were I should have used .25 natural thread. It does looks better. It will give me a chance to reposition some blocks for the tiller as well, that I said it will do lol. Cap. Marvin says get the stairs done, don't worry about the masts. I have so much to do lol. I am loving it. I don't remember where I saw this, the builder made the mast off the ship. Being a neanderthal lol I decided to give it a try. There is more room to move around now lol. There is so many great logs for the Pegasus, you should have a look at @giampieroricci wow, looking through his log makes me laugh at mine lol. But I am having just as much fun as he is building mine . This modeling is so fun, she may not look pretty but she's a beautiful ship to me. Thanks for looking in. And thanks for the logs MSW. So with so much to do and Christmas 🎄 coming and a whole house full of sick kids we will see how it goes lol. Take care all and in case I don't get a chance to post again lol have a Merry Christmas .

    Yes my friend, people around the world are truly " gobsmacked" ,truly an amazing build. Waiting to see the waterfall, the trees the water coming down and a few Feral chickens along the shoreline. Great job my friend 🐓🐤

    We may have a winner, but the tail is up not down, looks good but not sure will wait till I get the replacement from Amati . So I have finished the mid deck assembly, had to do little improvising but I like it. The .5 black line did not go through the little holes on the brass peices but I drilled them out with a small bit and it went well. All the guns are on, the swivel guns look good, cannons are ok. So now just a few things left on sheet six, some blocks, eyelets, cleats and the channels left to pin on. Soon it will be just masts and rigging. Lovein it. Thanks for helping build my ship, I definitel would be lost without MSW/NRG to help guide me through it. Thanks for looking in.
  25. Knocklouder
    Well what can I say, it just looks so bare with out a figurehead now. Lol On top of that Vikings have raided the ship Lol But they left no stairs. Lol As soon as they did I got busy and made one set of stairs. I was going to do the mid deck assembly but I need to place the cannons before I do that. Now I have to make a choice., option one with just the breaching tackle Or option two fully rigged . I can't decide. Nothing is glued , just waiting to make up my mind about the cannons . So I will make up the lower deck stairs, the Bell tower is finished, added a peice of copper for the roof, I have gone copper crazy 🤪 lol. I all so needed a quick peek at the ships boat, it will do. Talk to you all later
