James did you varnish all the non painted wood as you built? We’re the etched decks varnished? thanks

James H, Re step 15 in the manual, is there more information regarding the sanding angles, also for the other bevelled filler Hull parts?

Nice work, I’m doing a lot of smaller items for my Pegasus, my question is were the side mounts one piece or several sandwiched bits of timber? if one piece why the step design. i too had lots of trouble blackening my small barrels, yours looks good.

Query, did you clear coat the copper plates? thanks
-
Been off this for a good while. Coppering completed ones side, installed a moulding to top off the top edges. not happy overall, wish I’d gone for a white paint finish, ah well. Hope the other half comes out better and can display that side.

For those who can't fabricate jigs you can purchase photoetch benders
-
Definitely not wide as the strips sit right on the photoetch high points I looked a Blue Ensigns build, if you look at page 2 mine looked like his with the top red border not parallel, so I measured from the plans and added a splice to make it 4mm as per the drwg and as his page 3. I have checked that all the windows side and rear fit as per his build.
-
Anyone else had to build up the rear gunwales to match the drawing re fitment of the etched decoration and the 1mm strip or perhaps it an error I've built in.
-
Some colour added, coat of sand sealer to deepen the colour, will finish with a Matt varnish at the end.
-
Slow progress, not happy with the small ports but I simply couldn't get a sharp outline.
-
Measured and estimated, drawings could detail this feature much better, time will tell.
-
Second planking done with a bit of sanding and sealer, final finis if any planking not painted will be matt

RB emailed cannon enroute😎

It is, the import was only £4, I'll need to buy all my next items in one purchase.
-
Not been doing much as the garden and other jobs can't be put off. I purchased a few blocks and rope from Syren, top notch, the blocks are outstanding even without a tumble. Only gripe is the UK Post office sticking on an £8.00'handling charge.
