HMS Pegasus by realworkingsailor - Amati/Victory Models - 1/64


Recommended Posts

Augie and Grant, thank you both very much, but I'd keep an eye on a certain Dutchman while I'm away... I think he's added some contraband ammo to his build.... :P

 

Wayne, aside from heaving lines and mooring ropes, pretty much everything else is steel wire rope (cable). Although I'm pretty sure I can still manage the odd short splice, it is a little easier working on the real thing. ;)

Still watching quietly Andy, shes looking very nice indeed, love the way that your shrouds are looking, you've confirmed my desire to have a go at serving when I finally get to do my shrouds.

Cheers,

This is not so much of an update, it's a nice sunny day, so before I go back to work tomorrow, I thought I'd head outside and try to take a few photos.

Hi Andy

 

Taking the ship out into bright sunshine is the ultimate test for colors, details etc.

You pass that test with flying colors, so to speak. B)

 

Cheers

Andy,

 

A very Happy Birthday from me too. Hope you have a good day.

 

I've just been looking at your Pegasus. She's looking brilliant, you're doing a good job.

 

So, it's back to work now – which probably means another bonus for us in that you'll be back with your maritime updates! Take care. :)

Thank you everyone! :)

 

Arguably, not the most enjoyable birthday I've ever had, but such is life. Sorry.. no drinks anymore.. not sure how much of a party that would leave us with....

 

 

The minute something of interest occurs, I will reactivate my other thread, so stay tuned

Sorry Andy, I have been a bit incommunicado the last few days, so a belated "not so" happy birthday to you. Maybe the next one will be better.  Looking forward to the other thread although i will miss looking at your great work on Peggy while you are gone.
