I guess we all think: "One day, when I'm as good as I'm ever going to be at making a model ship, I will build my masterpiece." Your Pegasus is exactly what I have in mind when I think those thoughts. The trouble is, I know I shall never have the skills to build the model I have in my mind's eye. You must have: and that must give you enormous pride and satisfaction. Its a masterpiece.

All the best

Thanks Fred!
To tell you the truth, I didn't even know I could make these things and when I started building the Amarante I didn't know how to make its decorations and I started with the idea of not making them; then I tried, I realised I would need small tools that were not commercially available, I tried to make them myself and I succeeded in that feat that I thought was impossible for me! ..... You always have to try!

finished the quarter badge on the other side and some other small friezes:

Perfect!!!!

the first quarter badge is finished:

some progress:

it is truly amazing the detail and finesse of your work!
Unbelievable!

the quarter badge:

I had forgotten these two small ladders:

For now I have finished with the stern decorations:

as I said before, I chose not to paint the decorations but to carve them into bas-reliefs, even though it does not conform to the real ship:

another piece:

fantastic!!

small stern decorations:

I redid the columns, I did not like and added small friezes:

I do not generally like painting on my models; I know that in reality, on this model, the lettering and the various decorations were painted, but I decided to give my model a certain style, certainly a personal one, and I will try, if I can, to make the decorations with boxwood bas-reliefs

Meanwhile, the model is ready for the exhibition in Pisa next weekend:

some progress:

I found these letters, but honestly, they don't excite me too much..... I will try to make them in boxwood.
What do you  think about?

start of work on the stern panel
