bdgiantman2 Posted July 15, 2022 #199 Posted July 15, 2022 Impressive model and great explaining of your processes building this ship. I am curious about one thing. I can understand the louvers and air ventilation for around the anchor ropes storage and the sail storage room, but why do they do this on the pump room as well? It has to be more than worried about a fire in the powder storage areas, as the powder rooms always seemed pretty protected. mtaylor 1 Quote

Trussben Posted July 19, 2022 #204 Posted July 19, 2022 Simply Beautiful! I notice that you only modeled the beam arm with the single fore one as per TFFM, not with the double fore/aft as per the NMM plans for Pegasus - but it looks simply fantastic either way. mtaylor 1 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Yeh - TFFM is based on the plans of Atalanta, that’s why there is a couple of decepencies between it and the NMM Pegasus plans. It seems each of the Swan class vessels had slight differences between them. mtaylor 1 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

dvm27 Posted July 23, 2022 #210 Posted July 23, 2022 Very nicely done Giampiero. I also notice the perfectly positioned scupper holes internally and externally. I'll bet drilling them caused you no anxiety at all 😉 The fore port scupper looks to be lined with lead.
