vulcanbomber Posted June 29, 2013 #759 Posted June 29, 2013 Hi Andy, I thought I'd make a comment on your build now all the wierdness is almost over (I think!) I've been following your build and I think you're doing a wonderful job. Keep up the good work.

realworkingsailor Posted June 29, 2013 Author #760 Posted June 29, 2013 Thanks, Caroline I did look through your build as well, before the great crash, I must say, at the time I wasn't sure if I could have done all the renovations you've done to the interior (they look impressive BTW). Lucky for me, my next build comes with the cabin interiors (or at least, all the bulkheads), so the challenge might be simply super-detailing them.

md1400cs Posted July 3, 2013 #762 Posted July 3, 2013 Andy, Just went through your build for the second time. So impressive. Beautiful. Your copper, canons, masts all are so well articulated in miniature. Really special. The Pegasus requires a lot of precise talent, you certainly fit that bill. Congrats... PS: Lov the drill/lathe. You win the Rudd Goldberg Award for that one.

realworkingsailor Posted July 5, 2013 Author #763 Posted July 5, 2013 Well.. a big thank you to everyone who endeavoured to keep this thread alive (for good or evil) during my last work session. I have a small update before I head north later today. Let us hope that normality will be restored and the weirdness will stay hidden under whatever dark rock it came from in the first place.... So... without further a-do... The first set of main shrouds.... Serving the leading shroud took a good while. Anyone who recalls my machine is only good for about 6 inches of serving at one time.... (well 5 1/2 to give yourself a little working space)... anyway, to server a length of line almost 12 inches required a few adjustments along the way. A simple matter of securing the leading edge of the serving with a single overhand knot to keep things from unravelling, adjust the position of the shroud and resume. I found I didn't need to untie the knot as it's almost invisible. It actually served as a proof of concept for more complicated servings I will have to do in the near future (cut splices etc.) .... it is possible to stop, adjust and restart.. without having things turn into a rat's nest later on... at least not by themselves... what I do with them will be another matter altogether.

Blue Ensign Posted July 5, 2013 #768 Posted July 5, 2013 Looking good in the photo Andy, I have been concerned that serving the shroud would make it look too bulky in relation to the others.

realworkingsailor Posted July 5, 2013 Author #772 Posted July 5, 2013 B.E. I'm not sure of the exact diameter.. I have at measured... But by eye I'd say it's somewhere less than 0.05mm, button thread. When I'm home again, I'll try and give you a good measurement of the thread size. The weather wasn't exactly nice today... But hopefully it will improve tomorrow... I've got a speed boat and sail boat to exercise... I think the need to be out on the water is some sort of illness and I have a particularly acute case.

aliluke Posted July 6, 2013 #774 Posted July 6, 2013 Andy Although its a few pages back now - I love those outdoor shots of your Pegasus and have to agree with Mike - a very nice stern on your ship.

realworkingsailor Posted July 9, 2013 Author #776 Posted July 9, 2013 Well... What can I say... The weather is not conducive to ship modelling... Or doing much else beyond lounging in the lake... At the same time there has been an utter paucity of wind... So my sail boat remains tied up to the dock.... But it's not all fun and waiting games.. Tore down the old "boat house" now we have to clean up the mess and build a new one.... A little sturdier than the rotten old log lean-to we pulled down today.
