Trussben Posted January 28, 2023 Author #871 Posted January 28, 2023 While trying to make the Quarter piece blanks, I deamed it a good idea to mark out where the Quarter badges would be so there would be no interference between them, so here is the beautiful QB that I commissioned from David Antscherl.

Trussben Posted February 14, 2023 Author #877 Posted February 14, 2023 Some progress The taffrail capping pieces on both sides were completed and then I started work on the Quarter Piece blanks - fitting to the hull shape takes time - the extra meat left on these is for the relief carvings that will be added to them - the one you see in the picture is the 4th test piece and I’m sure there will be more!

bdgiantman2 Posted July 6, 2023 #883 Posted July 6, 2023 Your models are fantastic, Ben!! And safe moving. I find it interesting that even though both of your ship models are British 5th rates, that the Winnie is that much bigger than Pegasus. Or was Pegasus actually a 6th rate?

Trussben Posted March 13, 2024 Author #885 Posted March 13, 2024 So the move is completed, I'm working on getting my new workshop together - BOTH Pegasus and Winnie survived the move with no apparent damage ( better result than my last move ).

Trussben Posted December 20, 2024 Author #889 Posted December 20, 2024 (edited) Pegasus back in the workshop due to the imminent completion of Winchelsea. Its nice to see her again. 6th rate and a 5th rate - maybe I need to build a 4th rate to make a set?
