mihaimih Posted January 28, 2014 #1 Posted January 28, 2014 Welcome to my new build log the HMS Pegasus. After some very nice builds that i've seen here, I decided to have a go and I hope I will not mess up a very nice ship... With this ship I also changed the manufacturer, from Mamoli to Victory Models and it looks like I made a good choice. I opened the box and the stuff inside looks like good quality, hope that will also be the feeling after i'll start building. Hope you will enjoy the build and as always all advice and comments are welcome For the moment a quick look to the items inside the box Martin W, WackoWolf and Ray 3 Quote Current build: Previous build: HMS Pegasus - Victory Models Marseille - Mamoli Halifax - Mamoli

Blue Ensign Posted January 28, 2014 #3 Posted January 28, 2014 You've chosen a great kit Mihai and I'm sure you will enjoy the building experience, she makes up into a fine model whether a 'bashed' or oob build. I'm pleased to see that Amati have addressed the Ensign issue and are now including the correct period version.

Cheers Alistair Hi Alistair, I saw your progress on the Fly and it's a great job so far. Love the deck planking, looks good and clean. For my ship id decided to plank the hull first and after that the deck. Will see how will turn up....

mihaimih Posted February 5, 2014 Author #10 Posted February 5, 2014 Hi all, I decided to go with the hull planking first and after start the deck planking. With the first layer I kept it simple, nothing fancy, only a good support for the second one. I forgot to take some pictures with the first stages , I have only the finished product, first planking sanded down and ready for second layer.

mihaimih Posted March 12, 2014 Author #16 Posted March 12, 2014 Looking good and the jigsaw gun port ply seems to fit very well as this can be difficult, well done. Hello Ray, thank you for the consideration, although i can't take all the credit for the jigsaw fitting, as far as I know the later kits have been improved a little bit. In my case i didn't have too much trouble fitting it. Cheers, Mihai Quote Current build: Previous build: HMS Pegasus - Victory Models Marseille - Mamoli Halifax - Mamoli
mihaimih Posted March 12, 2014 Author #17 Posted March 12, 2014 Hi all, this is a small update of my second planking, I tried to make it as symmetric as possible. Unfortunately it's the last update I can make for the next 3 months or so due to work related issues But I will continue to watch the progress on MSW Cheers, Mihai mij and Martin W 2 Quote Current build: Previous build: HMS Pegasus - Victory Models Marseille - Mamoli Halifax - Mamoli
