druxey Posted Thursday at 07:27 PM #603 Posted Thursday at 07:27 PM Well done, Giampiero. It's a tricky one to do, fitting it around the headwork and under the bowsprit. I wonder how long the original figure lasted at sea without damage! tmj, Ryland Craze and billocrates 3 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv

I'd have designed those wings so that they could be quickly removed for battle and bad weather! 🫤 cotrecerf, druxey, tlevine and 1 other 4 "The journey of a thousand miles is only the beginning of a thousand journeys!"

dvm27 Posted 4 hours ago #607 Posted 4 hours ago Now that’s a Pegasus! Very impressive Giampiero. I note on the Swan plan and other contemporary figureheads the presence of stippling on the small uncarved section under the belly and legs. I think it adds texture and visual interest.
