HMS Pegasus by paul carruthers - Victory Models - Scale 1:64


Recommended Posts

I looked at this during my build and I finally settled on RB32mm guns and the 15mm for the Swivels.

However, the 29mm look fine as well on the carriage, and once they are all together along the broadside I don't think they will look undersized, I just preferred a slightly chunkier look.

This is the comparison I made when deciding on my build, and as you can see the Syren version is finer still than the RB 29mm.

 

B.E.

Hi Paul -- I just now found your log, and have caught up.  You're doing very nicely.  Once you've passed the gunport strip (sort of the initiation into Victory Swans), and the planking, you get to start on the really fun bits. 

 

I'll be following along with interest.

 

Cheers,

 

Martin

Wow, that's almost criminal. Makes things expensive

Paul -- I had to fiddle with the gunwales all round, even though I didn't put the decoration on.  I needed the room for the swivel gun mounts and some of the eye-bolts.

 

Nice planking there!  it all looks smooth and regular.

 

Cheers,

 

Martin

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.

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.
