Fantastic, Nils! Can you sneak one of those little guys into the hold so people can see how cramped it really was?

Fantastic Nils!
 

  I am almost positive the Pegasus is going to be my next build - following a brief hiatus to build the Artesania Latina Stage Coach.

Thank you all so much for your congrats and appreciative words to the completion of my build, - Greg  - Mark (Tiedens) - Dimitris - Boyd - Bug - Nenad - Bob (Rafine) - Crackers - Patrick - Druxey - Piet - Mark (Taylor)

an all the many "likes"

A happy Christmas time to all my fellow modelers, much fun and success with this fine Hobby and your projects, and the best wishes for the coming new year....

 

Greg,

a good idea, Ì`ve tried it allready but the figurines mostly slipped out out the tweezers grip, and fell into the hold somewhere..., well think another try should be worth it...

 Initially I wanted to do a sitting Group (ship`s officers) in the great cabin, but could`nt find suitable figurines

 

Mark (Tiedens)

thanks for your nice words...

 

Dimitris,

I`m glad you like the results of this "Swan Class"

 

Boyd,

kind comment, thanks very much...

 

Bug,

would love to see another Pegasus being built in your shipyard, allthough that stage Coach also Looks very interesting

 

Nenad,

thanks for those nice words, glad you enjoyed the build

 

Bob (Rafine)

thank you very much Bob, I can return the compliment to your "Cheerful" build and for the completed "Essex"

 

Crackers,

your Kind words are always much appreciated, many thanks

 

Patrick,

thank you very much, and a happy Christmas time, and new year to you and your family

 

Druxey,

Thank you very much for your word, and season`s greetings to you as well as a most relaxing and enjoyable Christmas time

 

Piet,

many thanks for words , and for dropping in regulary, glad you enjoyed the ride

 

Mark (Taylor)

nice comment , thanks very much, it`s hard to believe that the actual ship was carrying over hundred persons, here shown only a fraction of those "crowds"

Congratulations on finishing a true masterpiece!

 

I love your steamer and I wonder if you would consider to combine all your knowledge and talents to build a combined steam-sail ship, something like the Great Eastern? OK, she's huge but e.g. Great Britain would be manageable...

Anyhow...

               schöne Festtage!

Thank you Peter,

 

yes, not a bad idea, I`ve been thinking of that before already, perhaps sided paddle wheels, but first the concentration carries on for the KWdG, which will take a lot of time....

Wishing you much fun with "Pickles" Progress and a good Christmas season to you as well.... :)

A real nice comment Bob,

 

thank you very much,....

and I`m happy that non of the intended details needed to be given up along the way. I have the complete rigging in polyester thread, hoping that this may not be a disadvantage versa Cotton based thread, due to ultraviolet radiation by sunlight over the years

Crackers,

 

thanks for this Input, (beeswax)  I did`nt know that before in order to prevent radiation weakening dammage, and will Keep it in mind. now`s too late for my rigging anyhow....

The main reason I use Polyester thread is, the "dead material" dos`nt sag and by thinning out the Ends per gastourch when fiddeling into the block`s sheaveholes I have given up that fiddeling- in procedure with ordenary cotton thread.
