I’m not sure about the “all natural” quote there Glenn, there is actually a lot more paint on this model than I like personally, but we all have to expand our horizons. My Pegasus only has one color of paint on it, and I now wish I had done that in ebony wood. ben Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

glbarlow Posted October 22 Share #332 Posted October 22 Let’s just say it has less red than mine. I built my Fair American by “painting with wood,” not a drop of paint on it, all variations of different woods. It was a fun project so I get it.

Trussben Posted Tuesday at 08:49 PM Author Share #333 Posted Tuesday at 08:49 PM Pushing forward into Chapter 11, I cleaned all of the channel pieces and glued the layers together and faired the backside to fit each location, I then added 1mm brass pins to each of them, 2 pins for the smaller ones and 3 pins for the longer ones. The trim work was cut away and then holes in the hull drilled to suit the pin positions, then the channel was glued in place. I just completed the port side and will get the other side done this week. glbarlow, Stuntflyer, westwood and 5 others 8 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.
