Thanks, yes the strip for both primary and secondary planking looks good.. Re the deck, I'm just doing straight planking, my next one might get more ambitious. Will need the exchange rate to improve before branching out to replacing kit wood supplied.
-
The ply so far is good, I used the rear deck ply to align the stern extensions. The mdf is also very easy to work. Commenced planking of the deck, still to scrape and tidy up My first model was Cruiser by Caldercraft, a bigger model, I hope I can get my hands in to Pegasus as it gets more complex. Is there a good source for strip wood in the UK?
-
I think it's the angle, I work off my knees and small table, the shots were just with my phone, I'll do better after I've planked the gun deck, thanks tho appreciate catching any errors early.
-
Kicked off and hope to utilise previous posts to avoid the pitfalls, will be using the kit with the exception of the cannon.
-
Never done a billings so I've no comparison I'm afraid, the kit for me was good quality, just poor instruction for a novice.
-
Thanks, the instructions are poor but I was used to building RC aircraft, found out about rabbets and bairding too late, but it is a fair stand off model I think

If worried about water ingress why not seal the edges prior to planking?

Hi, it may be in here somewhere but I'm looking to replace the cannon for my Victory models HMS Pegasus, any help appreciated. Paul
-
it will not be soon I'm afraid I may then give up on cruiser, the kit features the MDF keel and b/heads
-
hi, just recvd my Pegasus, Amati/Victory, the wood quality is fantastic compared to that of my current Caldercraft kit HMS Cruiser

Andy / Spyglass thanks for the comments

Andy Great, thanks for the time taken on this, it will help a lot, I've learned a lot from my first effort.

Andy Hi I'm new to this hobby and will be building Pegasus as my second project following the Caldercraft HMS Cruiser, do you have any pictures or a sketch of how you tapered the false keel prior to first planking, and of rabbeting at the bow section. Did you use the original cannon, have heard the quality is poor, if not any good sourc for replacement barrels. Hope mine turns out as good as yours Regards Paul
