    Anja got a reaction from Kevin in Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Anja & Sjors - FINISHED - OcCre - Scale 1:46   
    Hello friends,
     
    Thank you all for the compliments and the likes.
    And a warm welcome to Ulises, Denis, Piet, Richard and Sean,
     
    It is high time for an update, however small.
     
    Glued the lining onto the interior of the frames.
    Made an offset in the lining in the areas coinciding with the support for the crossbeams.
    Cut the crossbeams to size.
     

     
     
     
    Planked the forecastle deck.  In contrast to the waist deck, I decided to simulate caulking.
    For this I used India ink fro Faber-Castell (PITT artist pen, black 199 ***).
     
    It is a bit getting used to, because the planks are so thin. But it looks better with than without the caulking.
     


     
     
    Dry fitted the forecastle, the sections of the hold deck, the sections of the quarter deck and the crossbeams.
     

     
     
     
    So far, so good. To be continued..........
    Thank you for watching,
     
    Regards,

    Welcome to MSW!! I'm looking forward to seeing some of your tips for working with copper as new ideas are always welcome. Your Egyptian boat builds also sound very interesting as they are outside the normal builds that we see everyday. Best of luck to you and I look forward to seeing pictures of your work!

    Preparation of the frames for the KIT.


     
    I have to draw the other half of the plans.

    Drawing is made by hand, it is easier to draw a circle than a straight line and all the frames are only curves


     
    About 2/3 of the blanks are cut, a lot of wood is use and a lot of wood is thrown in the garbage, up to now 1 ½  trash can.

    This is one of the last photo's I took of Pegasus on 22 February 2017.
     
    I am currently working on the reconstruction of the Masting and Rigging part of the Log. This will be combined with this part once it is done.
    As you can see there is a lot of log to be reconstructed.

    My four year build log has alas fallen victim to the latest system upgrade, and like the ship she represents is now presumed lost, as Pegasus was in 1777.
    To re-instate all the information contained within the orginal log which ran for over 100 pages is a bit of an ask but where I can pick up the information quickly I will include it in this replacement log with priority being given to specific aspects where I have modified the basic kit, to produce the model which is now allbut finished.
    My log which was first posted in 2013 lacked much of the earlier stages of the build which had been going since 2010, and this revision will include aspects of the earlier build stages which may assist those embarking on a new Swan build adventure.
    I would like to thank all those members who have shown interest in my build over the past four years, and for the many appreciative comments and 'likes' I received. I still can't believe that over 257,000 visits were made to the log, but it is nice to think that it was of use to the membership.
    Also thank you to those who have messaged me with kind words about the loss of the original log, and with offers of help.
    Hopefully this revised version, risen from the ashes, will continue to provide useful information to the membership, particularly those involved with Swan Class Sloops.
