Blue Ensign Posted October 22, 2021 Share #151 Posted October 22, 2021 Hi, bitter, As far as the topsides colour is concerned, I was trying to replicate the look of those wonderful contemporary 18th c models, if it was good enough for the craftsmen of the time, it was good enough for me. There was a large element of artistic license used in the colours and decoration applied to both models and artwork, particularly on small ships such as Pegasus. Regards, B.E.

I did find it hard to create a realistic rendition of these critical items and I think its fair to say there was a certain amount of settling taking place. Hi TBE, The project is going OK, albeit slowly. Most of the time expended has been in trying to decide just what can I actually build in that very cramped space. I should have an update in my build log soonish.
