Yes ,that turn out really nice, its

awesome.  That's what I want to try too! There are so many shades of red, but I like this one.Here is what I got and with luck and a lot of guidance  it should look similar to yours. How does that saying go The highest form of flatter  or praise is mimicking  which I intend to copy yours its so cool. Thanks again

It sure is looking good, could you tell me the name of the color that you painted the lower hull I know its red but what  which manufacturer that sort of thing ?. I inherited  a billings Bluenose, it is half finished, but I need to repaint it, it's gold right now but I need to fix it up and would like to paint it like yours . I am starting a journal for this ship and will write it down right away lol.I know when I finally get around to  finishing it I will be looking at this log lots. Thanks so much.

Hi Mark, I see you still live close to The Hague lol.  My First  Mate used to live near by In PA. And she has a sister who lives in Warman  I think lol. Anyway  we all  called that town The  Hague lol For some reason I like to see this ship being built  I am A relatively newbie but will help if I can, or at least find somebody who knows lol. 

Good luck on your journey   

There is a sequence  for rigging 

Kevin your log is one of the kind a newbie like myself  see and it so overwhelming  good  I fear the journey .  I always follow your build and advice, except  about the First Mate, I learnt she wins all the time.lol 

Just had to say fantastic work. 

Very nice, I would not fear the rigging by looking at your attention to details.  Plus I hear that  Vanguard Models have the best plans and instructions, and if you get stuck  you got a direct link here to all the help you'll  ever need.   All 45,700 and some of us lol.

Good luck on your journey.

Something  I wished I did was a half hull project  from NRG. It looks like a great tune up,  check out the NRG store, great wood clear installation.  Just a thought 

Congratulations   very nice work    

I think it's here , I hope to be working on it Monday we will see 

I can't thank everyone enough for all the help and advice over the last three years.  I have made many mistakes along the way trying to learn , ship building, reading and writing, and understanding my computer and how to handel being  on MSW. But I have made great strides in all areas. Yes I still butt in where I am not supposed to be , but working on it. Lol  And may or may not  have

posted more than I should or a few memes not admitting to , anything lol.

 Many thanks for all your help, as this is how my Pegasus will sit for awhile, quite a while I think but we will see.

Captain Marvin  and I feel a little sad about putting her away under wraps, but it is what it is.

  Farewell on this log see you on my other logs. Just feeling good about all the help NRG/MSW and all the members here. THANK YOU.  Just a little corse  correction to get me  to my goals.   

 Thanks everyone. 

Louise this is the place to be,  Good luck on your journey !!

Looks awesome, nicely done  Congratulations  

Patch and sand , patch and sand, now is the time to make the hull perfect, skim coats sand repeat  lol. Looking good  

Hello Dave, a word of caution  how I  build things   they may or may not be the correct way . Especially when it comes to planking lol. And what I am about to do for my shroud lines  is differently  not right but it's the way it works for me.lol You will see what I mean on my next post of the ship. I have some issues to address  before  building can resumed.

   My hull is single planked  just Like yours and patching and sanding will give you a good hull. I follow most Mayflower  logs and your doing great. Do a great job patching and painting it will look great.youll see.

 The colors I chose are what I think the Mayflower  One looked like, and scene's no one know for sure it could be lol.

 For myself I didn't  like all the flashy  colors. 

 All my deck is wood even the bits which are done and will add later.

 We all have to make choices about how we want our ships to look like, and its your choice on how much detail you want to do.

 I was going to serve all My shroud lines but that has changed.  Long story .

 Glad to help if I can, but I am still learning how to build models myself lol. I can tell you I am having the time of my life and won't stop till I drop lol.

PS  if you run into problems, just ask the so many that will help. I would not be as far as I am now if  it were not for the support and encouragement from the NRG/MSW staff and  moderators, and all the members  here. 

I think I will follow along, your work is always amazing. I will have to dig out my pictures of my trip to the Yukon  and see if I took any in 1978. 

Good luck on your journey.    

Good luck on your journey   

Congratulations very nicely done  

Awesome ship, nicely done Congratulations   

Nice work, coming along nicely.  I have only been modeling for just about three years, I found the articles about planking in the MSW data base great. They really helped me. Although I still have not got the hang of it I almost understand  lol.

Keep up the great work you'll have a model to be proud  of.  

welcome to MSW.  Good luck on your journey.   

Nice job,   ya I bought one  lol. It's up next . Amazing work  thanks for posting  I know it will help   and will reference  it often.  Thanks !!

Good luck on your journey!  Tremendous amount  of info here at MSW, and an even greater amount of help, just ask you'll see .

Well for some reason or another I decided to finish the Mayflower.  I have to find all the parts and plans they are here some where lol. . Wish me luck. 

 I still can't belive  all the help I get here. And a thanks to people who have helped keep me on the right course. 

 So I hope I can make some progress  with my modeling journey.  

I know I know Scatter  Brian  LOL.

That is very sad news. 😔  I tried to make my Pegasus  along the lines of how yours looks. Yours is so impressive. And  I just today put mine back on the shelf, to go finish my Mayflower.  I will look forward to tagging along with your build  If you don't mind. . I may have to reconsider my decision to finish my Mayflower LOL  

Glad your back .

This is my shipyard before the pests moved in.And this is what happened.

But I am happy to say that the shipyard is open again. Although I am not ready to build yet, it just needs a little  cleaning up and organizing .

 It's a lot brighter now , which is good.

Notice my newest tool for the shipyard to the left lol.

 I brought the ships back down today, wow I can not belive how much dust got on the ships. The Pegasus was not so bad, but the Mayflower was very dusty . So I decided to shelf the Pegasusand clean up my Mayflower.  There is not much left to do on her so I want to clean her up and finish it.  Then I can put her under the display case.

 Also, rigging the Mayflower will help tune me up for the Pegasus.  Lol

I have work to do in the kitchen, I repaired most of it, now I  just have to sand and paint. 

But I will be very anxious to get back to my Pegasus. 

 By the way the pests WERE  norway rats, some were shot, some were trapped, and one the dog got,  most didn't like what we fed them lol but they're gone. And we check everyday for movement lol .

 Ok off to finish my Mayflower,  see you soon.
