John John - It's the glasses that are the problem! I tend to forget they are there (magnifiers included). And the Base Commander frowns upon wearing them at the dinner table. But fear not ....... I keep hearing your advice ...... 'work from the other side and be careful reaching around '. I'm not worried about taking a flying jib in the eye. I have another one.......eye that is Patrick -- moving along at 'All ahead Slow'. Will keep ya posted.

augie Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share #289 Posted March 23, 2013 It's 1223GMT here on 3/23. Site just came back up for me and I have some catching up to do. My apologies if I miss anyone! Sjors ---- Yes, lots of discussion. Patrick is going at his standing rigging hammer and nail. Andy is off to Thunder Bay. I've taken 2 days 'off' to shovel snow (more to come!) and you (apparently) are over run by clowns juggling cannonballs. Will endeavor to continue Syren as soon as arms stop shaking from muscle fatigue . B.E --- Thanks for stopping by. Yes, the further along I get on this project the better she looks. In essence it's because of the lines of the ship. She is a true beauty in my eye and Chuck's design does her proud. It's amazing to me how we all have our favorites and see things differently. I'm sure we all share a 'sweet spot' for HMS Victory (the epitome of a wooden fighting ship) and our US Constitution (ahem ) . But my personal favorite is HMS Medway which is the very same shipped that chased down, and captured, my Syren. Funny how life works. PS- Both Andy and yourself have brought alive my appreciation of Pegasus. trippwj 1 Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the snow, why did you give me a call. I pick up my snowboard,shovel,thing and will help you with the snow. Then you can give your arms the needed rest and continue the rigging on the syren.

realworkingsailor Posted March 23, 2013 Share #292 Posted March 23, 2013 Having come this far with the Syren (and the good job you've done with her) Pegasus is not a bad kit for an encore. You're left quite a bit more to your own defenses with respect to the instructions, and the gunport patterns can be a bit of a pain (although I suppose you could opt out and buy some extra planking, if you don't mind going that route), but overall it's a good kit with a wealth of detail.

augie Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share #293 Posted March 23, 2013 I really admire your treatment on Pegasus Andy. But I've already got 3 on the 'next up' wish list so we'll see what happens. Hope things are ok up there at 48+ degrees North. We're getting slammed pretty good here in the Rockies (stupid Ground Hog blew it this year).
