HMS PEGASUS by giampieroricci - Scale 1:36 - Swan-Class Sloop from plans by David Antscherl & Greg Herbert

[Kevin Kenny]

Yes i like that touch. Any reason why you did not do the others in lead?

[giampieroricci]

I'm glad you like it! This is just a test I did. I will put the others up after I have completed the inner planking of the broadside

Beautiful work Giampiero.

Might I suggest using pewter, not lead? Lead will deteriorate to lead salts over time. And that would be a pity on such a terrific model.

I wouldn't know where to buy it....

[druxey]

Try jeweler's supply companies online.

[Kevin Kenny]

Why not blacken brass or copper?

[garyshipwright]

why not just use plastic tubing paint black. Yes guy's I know it's plastic but it still scratch built. 😁

[French Mr Bean]

Why not in gold ??? 🙄

[druxey]

I suppose slightly oxidized silver might be another possibility.

some special, non-quality photos....

I wanted to try something that is rarely seen on a model: hammocks:

This is incredible detail for which you should be commended!    It gives one the feeling of the gentle swaying with the rolling of the ship.   Kudos!

[druxey]

Well! That's a different approach. Well done!

[dvm27]

I wish you could see the smile on my face Giampiero! You should slip a sleeping figure into one of the hammocks (out of site) for some future boroscope examiner to find.

Giampiero, the craziest thing just happened to me.  I went to an online thesaurus to find synonyms for the word "perfect" and the only thing it listed was a link to this build log!

Beautiful☺️

The gratings:

 

 

I have taken a little liberty in interpreting the fore hatch gratings as far as the passage of the elbows is concerned. I was inspired by the work done by Matiz on his Euryalus, although perhaps the eras are slightly different.
