Pegasus by hdrinker - 1:48 - POF - Swan practicum

Having completed the lower yards and mizzen gaff rigging, it’s on to the topsail yards. Nothing particularly complicated about this, but to get the details right, a lot of time and fuss. It’s a pleasure, tho, to see it come alive.

Now the t’gallants!

With the topgallant rigging complete, attention was directed to the ship’s boat. I had a plug left over from the same task on the Gros Vendre build, so that was shortened and the stern modified. Midship frames were dry steam bent and the rest sawn with the lot glued to the keel with.CA. I used Swiss Pear for the bulk of it, with the shear and cap in Walnut. It was then glued amidships to the spare top masts and rigged to the mainstay pendant tackles. 
That pretty much concludes the build except for  repairs, dusting and paint touch up here and there. Final photos to follow.

Congratulations, Henry, on the completion of your Swan class model. I believe you have incorporated every element included in our four volume series and, that in itself, is an amazing feat. Look forward to those final photos.
