I see you placed deck planking under the forward trucks of the guns to get them to the proper height. Is that temporary until you lay the decking or will you be leaving it open like this? Stunning work you've done. Thanks for sharing. 

I have no intention of laying any planking on the decks.
I put that little board under the front wheels of the guns simply because some wheels fell into the gaps between the beams.

Beautiful as usual! Are you planning to rig this model as well, Giampiero?

Thank you Druxey!

I intend, if I am able, to mount only the low masts up to the pigeon with the shrouds

8 lb. guns

I disassembled and reassembled everything, the binnacle of the bell and railing because it was not perfectly centered:

Today finally the 4 volumes of the Swan class that I had ordered have arrived. However, I was surprised because I believed that the drawings and plans were included in the volumes in order to start building the model.
Anyone know where I can buy the Pegasus drawings?
Can you help me, please?

Thanks for the compliments! You are far too generous!

I completed the structure of the formwork and the castle:

bow gun ports and artillery positioning:

simply fantastic, like all the details of this wonderful masterpiece!

Once the artillery was finished, I mounted the rudder and started the shroud holders:

How impressive can this be ?

Same ship, same plans. One major difference in soccer terminology : 

I'm amateur but this is Champions League.

Where can I see your build?

I am not in a hurry, I have no problems waiting because I know it is worth it: I just wanted to know if at least the order had been received .....

Thanks for your answers!

Can anyone give me news of the SeaWatchbooks site also advertised on the home page?
On December 18th, after having laboriously put aside the necessary money like the ants, I placed an order for the 4 volumes of the Swan Class that I had long wanted to have. Unfortunately I have not had any feedback to date; I tried to send some emails to the address indicated, but nobody answered me.
Do you know if there are any problems?
I hope I haven't thrown away my savings .....
