Great job Ben.  Like Chuck said your presentation of the exposed frames is really sweet!

Stays have been completed and Bowsprit installed, only the Jib, Jib Halliard, Foresail Halliard and Flag Halliard left to rig.

You can see I have left all the stays loose for the moment until I’m ready to do the final tensioning.

I ran out of 0.025 light brown rope due to mistakes and had to order more from Chuck, hopefully complete this great little project in a few weeks after vacation.

That really looks nice.....I am so glad you left the planking off to match the barge.  It looks really nice that way.  I was tempted to do that myself.

Just for Chuck, a picture of both of the projects together in their cases, thanks to him for creating these awesome kits and I hope he makes a few more of these larger scale small boats in the future, they sure are fun to build.

Nice!!!   :D  What other small craft at 1/2" scale would you like to do?   Maybe I will take the plunge as well.

Good question Chuck - no easy answer to it though and I'm sure you have more things to worry about, but keep it in mind in case you do see something that catches your eye and you fancy building it.

They look great together Ben. Well done.

 

I'm in on another one too. These two were a ton of fun to build. :)

Don’t want to steal an idea but something like David Antscherl’s Greenwich hospital barge.  Kinda similar but with the added compliment of a deck structure might be nice. 

 

Ben that looks really nice in open frame alongside the QAB.

Rigging was completed with all rope coils etc... Windlass was wrapped and grapnel installed.

Not going to install any oars or windlass bars.

I tore the tissue flag as I was taking it out of its baggie, hopefully Chuck will be able to supply me with another, otherwise this project is complete and in its case.

Thanks again to Chuck for designing and supplying this awesome kit.

Back to the Pegasus build and maybe line up something else too.
