Hi Giampiero a really nice job.

[giampieroricci]

Thank you, my friends!

Some step:

 

 

 

 

[yvesvidal]

Giampiero,

 

Will you be keeping the top of the hull black or will you paint it Royal Blue for the background of the friezes, as many models have suggested?

honestly, I don't really like the original coloring of the model. I prefer to use natural wood colors, but I finished my ebony stocks .....

[giampieroricci]

I have finished the nailing.

7588 nails have been driven so far.....😄

 

 

 

 

[albert]

Hi Giampiero beautiful work. 

[druxey]

Only 7588? Nice progress!

[yvesvidal]

I am not a supporter of tree nailing but I admire your patience and skill.

Hi Giampiero - Mate you are a “Machine”. First the beautiful “L'Amarante” at 1:30 then you follow it up with the superb “La Venus at 1:96 and to just to make it a bit more interesting you launch her in 12 months no less.

And without taking a breath here we are already on page 3 of your HMS Pegasus build log, 7588 nails later (you haven't got any of Santas Elves working off-season in your workshop have you? ). Mate that’s what gets you the title of a “Machine” down my way 🙂 – all absolutely beautiful work that I admire each time I read a post. -  

No pressure but we are expecting perfection this time 😉 Stay safe Cheers Pete

This, of course, the reason we build navy board style. if you planked below the wales you'd be trunneling until next Christmas.

 

Amazing progress this year Giampiero. Happy Holidays and we look forward to next years progress!

Pete, your words fill me with pride, but I must give you a disappointment: perfection, if there is one, is only a dream to be achieved, perhaps in another life! All I can say is that I'm doing my best to build a model that lives up to David and Greg's work ... 🙂

 

a few more steps forward:

Nice scratch moldings, Giampiero!

[matiz]

Beautiful🙂

[albert]

Very nice work.

I passed a first coat of shellac:

Absolutely beautiful, Gampiero. Looks like you created mortises for those horseshoe and dovetail plates as well! Could you place a ruler next to the hull in the next photos so we can get a better idea of her size. I've never seen one larger than 1:48 scale?

Yes, horseshoe and dovetail are mortised, as you indicated me with mail, and for this I thank you: if I hadn't known I probably I wouldn't have done it
