Was just about to ask you over on your Maritime Adventures post about your Pegasus build, when I realised I hadn't actually pushed the 'Follow this Topic' button ages ago... Jeez I'm way out of date on this build Eamonn -
Wow, Sherry hand carved!! I just give up, I couldn't even carve kindling Eamonn

I do like the look of this boat Mark, some nice little touches to be seen and great craftsmanship shown at every step, keep posting the photos! Eamonn PS I'll be attempting my Catheads this coming week (after a few trial runs with the different methods, thanks for your input on it) E

Thanks for the Birthday wishes Mark.. much appreciated! Now get back to that boat Eamonn

Nice.. am looking forward to your continuing work, if you can 'catch' the boat that is:) E

Very nice lines on that boat, thanks for posting the 'Profile' shots.. do I detect a good 'rake' to the masts? she looks very like one of the Great Lakes Clipper-Schooners which are tasty looking boats (like many American designed vessels of the time, in fact look no further than the famous 'America' herself, and I always has a soft-spot for the Grand Banks Schooner lines too) Eamonn

Hi Stockholm T, I picked up the Sherbourne kit myself a few weeks ago as I too rate the smaller ships highly (frigates, brigs, schooners, cutters and the like) and am looking forward to starting it when I complete Bounty,in fact on the advice of MSW I checked the kit contents only yesterday and discovered that one bulkhead and it's surrounding 'matrix' completely missing, am awaiting a reply from the seller, so hopefully it will be resolved) Would you happen to have a 'log' or indeed photos of your early Sherbourne work (Keel laying, bulkheads, etc) or were they lost in the crash? as your log is an immense help to say the least.

Hi again Mark, Would it be possible, when you post your next set of photos, to include a 'side on' and 'bow, stern on' shot to give me a feel for the vessel lines. You mention the American built Clippers circa 1850's, is this her pedigree? Keep Posting and I'll Keep Reading Eamonn

Hi There Really like the contrasting timbers Mark, nice work, as a newbie I wouldn't be familiar with the 'original' model you Bashed from, but what you have there looks fab. Particularly like the deck reinforcing around the winch, cool touch... only wish I had your ability and I understand when things get 'Fuzzy' only too well (I have an 80% finished Heller model of the French Le Superbe that was 'captured' (ahem, ahem) by the Royal Navy and bashed to become HMS Superb 74, with all RN differences for circa 1803..yup that got really fuzzy before I picked a date, there were subtle rigging detail changes around that time. My Masting & Rigging of English Men of War book got a serious looking at) Wishing you the very best Eamonn
