HMS Pegasus 1776 by Knocklouder - Amati/Victory Models - 1:64

[Knocklouder]

I figured out most of the lines I needed to serve, and quickly served them up with my drill attachment.  I need about 23 feet of .75mm.  I also served 8 inches  of a 1mm wire for the Futtock Shrouds.  That's it all the sevring is done. The machine  seems to be holding out , I won't  be needing it anytime soon. My next build is a river boat so no need for it there. , I have one more in my stach , but I don't know about serving  lines for that one we will see.

Two eight foot .75mm  , one more to go. Lol 😆. 

With the lines served   time for some figure  painting. After primer  I looked on line for naval figures ,found  lots but no idea of rank and who's who lol. So I painted  them like this, took them over for a shot of clear coat and they all fell asleep in the box waiting to get to work.

The guy with the horn must be Hornblower lol. He woke the officer's  up and had a meeting with Kurt.

Now that is all out of the way time to start working on the lower main mast shrouds,  

Thanks for looking in,  ratlines are in the air.

Thank you @Keith Black , I have to thank @Gabek for the figures,  he made them for me and he even showed me how to paint figures.   what a buddy to have.

 Speaking of buddys , remember  when @Literalman posted three things to give away,  one  being a Harriet Lane,  well I was lucky enough  to snag it up. I told Stev before I will write his name on the bottom  of the Harriet Lane , so he can always be part of the build, and I will rember his generosity  for ever thanks Stev.

I just got to finish  rigging  a few ship and I be on it lol.

P.S.

By rigging,   I have The Pegasus, an  Astrolabe  and two Bluenoses to rig. So it will be a couple of weeks.

 You're slowing down in your old age, Bob.   Is your Harriet Lane the old  solid wood hull? 

[Knocklouder]

Finished seizing  the shrouds to the masts,quite happy with the way thet turn out. Not a blob of rope like on my frist builds , or should I say a blob of CA. Lol.

I even remembered  the Burton pendent,  but Hornblower was quick to point out that I fogot the two on the Mizzen mast. He says to tell @Keith Black that  I have lost my mind.. Not only did I forget the pendents I also mounted  the ship to a swivel base so I can spin it around eazlie,  I can hear Keith now yelling  NOOOO  !!! Also Keith  the Harriet Lane is a soiled hull. I have looked at several logs here for it and hope I can do as well , I know for sure I will have the time of my life being a river boat man again lol.

Hornblower says my plan for keeping  the shrouds in order has a flaw ,  if the colors  clips fall off , and they did lol.

Kurt says we will figure it out,  so we got all 30 deadeyes  blocks together  and are off to make up 30 lanyards  to tie them all on. 

 Couple of weeks lol.

The first Mate garden needs my attention,  patotes  to dig, tomatoes  to make into soup and sauces,  canning,  got to help if I want to eat. Ha ha

 This one starting to be fun, looking ahead  at making the yards , some neat stuff there I have never done.

 She going to look grand beside the Duchess of Kingston  in one case beside me favorite  chair lol. Thanks for helping an old man  have  so much fun. You guys are the best, thanks.

   Talk soon

 That third photo is great work, Bob. 

 

 I think I'd like to pick up a HL like yours and do a waterline model. 

 

 NOOOOOOOOOOOOO     

[Knocklouder]

Well the shipyard is under quarantine, seems I have come down  with strep throat a  cold,  head ach running  nose and eyes are watering so bad I can't see. 

The officer looked around  and found a tangle mess.

Kurt told hom to cut me some slack. Yesterday  we sorted out the lines and numbered  them according.  Then the sickness hit

 

 

 

So we are  packed it in for awhile , take care my friends,  off to bed . Rigging  will continue,

 Get well quickly, Bob. 

[tmj]

Keep the OOD on watch and closely guard those lines 'till construction resumes... less any land-dwelling critters find said lines amusing and quickly take it upon themselves to create adventure from any loose ends! 😲
