  1. 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. :cheers:

  2. 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. 20231229_134816.thumb.jpg.8ce4a6b3b13cc41e22018fd5ebbcc6d1.jpg

     In the second  picture you can see the foremast blocks  on both peices # 75.

     Thanks for your help.  :cheers:

  4. Well I finished up all the stairs, now just have to tie a safety rope around them to complete them.  Tomorrow.  20231221_231008.thumb.jpg.e9fb8ff403261b2ab13000937e2f8f51.jpg

    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.20231220_143228.thumb.jpg.5264383b26971393e3f90b034b8e1fd2.jpg

    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.20231221_205630.thumb.jpg.962022e2a395137748f34f024000f7f2.jpg

    Merry Christmas my friends,  thanks for looking.   :cheers:

     

  5. 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. 20231217_193010.thumb.jpg.73be10277de2817446f154d8d1124812.jpg

    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.20231219_120213.thumb.jpg.417b18c9050c292162d02d1e00d2274e.jpg

    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.:cheers:

     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 . :bird-vi:

  6. 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 .20231216_182052.thumb.jpg.f25ccc81570e400fed4fe698c5bb63f7.jpg

    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.20231216_183726.thumb.jpg.0f5c3a703fc1e73d83b64f8913b4f040.jpg

    Thanks for helping build my ship, I definitel would be lost without MSW/NRG   to help guide me through it.  

    Thanks for looking  in.   :cheers:

     

  7. Well what can I say, it just looks so bare with out a figurehead now. Lol20231214_122702.thumb.jpg.3b4a8abdcdc9fe1eb88eae9272d12d1a.jpg

    On top of that Vikings have raided the ship

    Lol20231214_115908.thumb.jpg.a8428ca3d338de3a78489cea3455f510.jpg

    But they left no stairs. Lol As soon as they  did I got  busy  and made one set of stairs.20231214_165608.thumb.jpg.8a789c0cf568076432435edb669cb927.jpg

    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  .

    20231215_105040.thumb.jpg.c78a6497a62337505934de8a341f838f.jpg

    20231215_105057.thumb.jpg.ea95ceaf1b4aa594912220e3b9381267.jpg

    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. 20231214_113905.thumb.jpg.fa9ef756da22b24f27d129a3f697898c.jpg

    Talk to you all later :cheers:

     

  8. Today I rigged the tiller tackle, and blackin the swivel guns as well as painting the brass on the holders , for a lack of knowledge as to what the are lol. I think  the look ok, better in real life than the pictures lol 😆 20231213_233211.thumb.jpg.2561d08a01e52b729ca53c82344498f0.jpg

    20231214_105144.thumb.jpg.cd354fab45a366f7c5068c272713a637.jpg

    So knowing  myself I took all the swivel guns off and put them away for safe keeping. 20231214_110328.thumb.jpg.38ff97f796031924d48e75213ca2e120.jpg

    So nowI want to build the stairs and hand rails around them. Hopefully  I will get to the Mid deck bulkhead details as well as the bell tower today as well. 

     Having the time of my life, rigging is just around the corner  lol. Oh yes I have to build the masts first  lol. 

     Stay save my friends. Talk to you latter. 

                        :cheers:
