    Hello @Baker when you find out please let me know, as I am about to go buy a new phone and it won't be a Samsung lol. My phone has been doing this for two days now . Most annoying 🙄 lol

    @Darius359au I would have a word with that Murphy guy, to bad about not having a couple of little peices left to fill in the holes. But like @aliluke says no one will notice, and they will be covered by lots of rope coils lol. Slow day in the shipyard, had to go to the hobby store to get some more Phatic glue my new go to glue lol. It is only 45 miles away lol. It was their last one, and they told me their supplier was backorder, dont know when they will get more. Anyway, got the quarter badge on and it looks ok the bottom part of the window fades in to the yellow but ya, It will do lol. So the window needed curtains so I painted the widow knock outs and put them back in . Like I say after it was on the bottom of the window fades. I might paint it gold but we will see.. How ever did that get in there lol 😆 So now it's on to the bow. This looks like I better study the pictures lol. The model looks intimidating but once you start putting it together, it just fits. Must be designed that way. Hats off to the designer lol. So on to the bow... Bob M.

    Hello guys, on page 6 of my book it says to remove the bulkhead tabs. But I thought it was for the eight that were on the main deck , I missed page 7 but now I can see that they are gone. The black helps make them disappear and the friezes takes your eyes off the deck and back on to the hull lol. It took me awhile to find which peice was for were, but once I got it the went on pretty easy. The bottom row even had it cut out for the gun ports so I just followed along. I do have a question? When I get to the end of page 9 is it all off the plans from here on forward. Or am I missing a book ? Well that's it for today, I think I try a quarter badge assemblies tomorrow 😅. Thank for looking in

    .Thanks @aliluke, As I was gouging the bulk heads I said to myself " this is not smart". But it Looked OK. But now that you mention it, yep try to fix that. I took some cannons apart and reposition them. They fit better now. As far as the bulk head tips, that one slip by me no idea why I did it that way. It would have been easier to plank with no end. But hey I am learning lol. I changed the red to black I think it looks better. At least it's passable. It'll Do. So I am going to finish the cap rails then trim and friezes. Then who know what's next lol. This is what she looks like tonight. Thanks for looking and the tips. Greatly appreciated.

    You would think the the man holding the rudder is at the stren, is the way the boat goes. But maybe these boats are ambidextrous, if he takes his rudder to the bow, depending upon which direction the wind blows, I dont know lol. I think I sucked in to much clear coat fumes tonight from my Pegasus deck lol Your boat is looking great Glen.

    Welll the decks are installed and I am ready for the cap rails. I have to decide what to do about my cannons. The kit gives you two options one is just breeching rope. Options two you have to buy more blocks and eyelets. So I am going with options one. Its been so much fun building this ship, she not the finest but she looking good to me. There is so much on this model that is new to me and if it was not for the database and the info you can get here on MSN/NRG. I would probably just shelf it. But I can't buy another till I finish the ones I Have. Lol Later my friend's Bob M.

    Thank you so much @allanyed.but I really just followed the instructions lol. It just came together nicely. Thanks everyone who like it . so now the first thing I decided to do was I had to drill all the hole for the eyelets ' so using an awl to start the hole I drilled them all. I super glued the drill bit to a dowel then attaching it to my drill the rest was easy. I got this Idea from @mtaylor log thank you. I fitted the cannons with breeching tackle only as they won't be seen. You see once the upper deck is on its all hidden. Working away, I rigged 10 cannons put them on and glued the decks on. Now you can't see all that work lol, but it was Amazing take my word for it lol I have to Thank @Gabek for his stove he made for my ship. I put it on and yep covered it up but it looks awesome. Lol. So now I have 8 more cannons to rig, not sure what I will do just yet, in terms of how I will rig them, but now I can finish the decks, and oh yes my cap rails that's what I started out to do lol. Coming along nicely this is the fun stuff, won't be long and I get to do some rat lines lol 😆. Later all Bob M.

    Good luck on your journey on this one. I follow along, always nice to see a master whip up another wonderful build, I am sure Cornhusker will love it. .my man.

    This is the place to be !!!!

    Your Boat will look cool on the water, I was going to do that for mine but I could not wait to start the Pegasus. Now I am knee deep into that ship. Just wondering if your planning to have someone walking on the water when your done lol

    Finally got the rudder on. It went fairly well, neanderthals have a hard time nailing tiny nails in the hull but it's done lol. I could not install the top gudgeons and pintels, so just painted the top one on , not really noticeable, It'll Do!! I even installed the curtains lol. Now I think I work on the cap rails . Then move on to the bow and finish it up as well. There is more written instructions then pictures, so I have to studied the logs more. I am getting the idea, but the friezes are very small and hard to locate which one goes were, which way up or down lol but I'll get it lol. Everyone who has come to the shipyard loves it they all go wow is that ever nice. So far my son and wife have seen it lol. I have got lots of mistakes but I'm happy with it. Ok on to the starboard side. Thank you my friend's

    Congratulations on your first boat, she's a keeper. Nicely done.
  19. Knocklouder
    I would say she cleaned up really nice. She even has a name now, had a great day in the shipyard, but I never got to the rudder. Oh well tomorrow is another day 🙃. The tafferal was easy done. But I noticed that the two little decorations beside the name should be on the opposite side of each other. Or well nobody will notice lol. So off to install the rudder. Talk soon my friend's

    I would like to thank @Gabek for giving me this package of little swabs they were fantastic for spreading the Phatic glue around. A little swipe on the copper plate then some on the ship and it stuck great. So Did a little research lol and found out I can just could clear coat the copper. So after I washed it, and wiped it with vinegar, and rinsed it again I dryed it good and sprayed two coats of clear on, I think it looks OK.¹ So I finished all the copper , rudder is done time to move on lol. I have decided to finish off the stern and mount the rudder. It does.need a little clean up but it will do. This should be fun, the peices are tiny and I have to paint them lol I can hardly make out what they are , one looks like a knight with a sword 😅 Thank for looking

    THE HARBOR STAND. Today I made the stand for my Pegasus, I call it the Harbor Stand because I got the idea from @Snug Harbor Johnny. Thank you. Frist I cut up the pieces and router the edges. Then put some dowels for a little support. So then I stain it then two coats shellac sealer. Boom ship on a stand lol . So I took the ship off the stand to let everything dry up really well. And now I am off to study the plan to see what my next move is. Looking up way to seal the copper so I can at least touch it with out putting fingerprints all over it . It looks so cool really happy with it. Thank you everyone who's log I looked at and saw how to install things, then make my attempt lol Modeling is so much fun. Lol.

    Well the football game was a bust home team lost , lol. But I did finish the copper on my Pegasus. It has to be cleaned up, but I think I did ok. I am very happy with it.I even have a little copper left for the rudder, some day in the future 😀. So now that the copper is done I going to make the stand. @Snug Harbor Johnny made a wonderful stand for his ship, and I am going to copy his idea for my Pegasus, well I will try any way lol. Thanks so much for the likes and help so far. This is how she looks today later my friend's.
