HMS Pickle by mugje - FINISHED - Caldercraft - 1:64 - first build


Recommended Posts

Brilliant work mugje.

The Pegaus kit looks wonderful.

When i opened the box and scanned through the kit i was impressed with the general quality, both the parts and wood.....

 

Btw.....

The instructions for Pickle is said to be very good.

Although i find it hard to fully understand the rigging both in plans and instructions.

The tackle pedants for the lower masts.... I can't understand the rigging they are used for, neither in the instructions or the plans...

The quality of the materials in the Pegasus box are looking great indeed. Tomorrow I will scan the box to look if there are no parts missing.

 

I don't either know exactly how to rig the tackle pendants. My thougts where...That I will come across them when I go systematically trough the manual. But maybe someone else can jump in with the answer?

I took a look in the Pegasus box and found  out that the false keel isn't straight. It's made of MDF and my understanding was that this didn't warp that much? What would the best option here? Did someone asked for a replacement from Amati? How is the service of them?

 

Or maybe I'm gonna trying to fix it... that's also an option. I don't know how mdf exactly reacts...

Finished the Fore stay...pictures are not that great because the light is weird now. But you get the idea 😁

The mouse looks a bit oversized...but I can live with that with this model. I did not serve the line. Because my knowledge about this is not sufficient at this stage. You can also see the gammoning.

Thanks for al your help Dirk. How do you get that line so tight on the mouse? With my efforts it wants to slip off the mouse because the surface is so smooth. And do you just turn a single thread around? Or do you weave it also?

@mugje, nice work! I myself haven't put one together so for a couple future builds I now know threw your blog and Dubz recommendations how to get it done right the first time. You are now officially a deconstruction member!  :cheers:
