vulcanbomber Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share #151 Posted November 13, 2019 Thanks for the likes and comments. Finally my set of very fine brushes arrived and I got down to painting the gold scroll work on the frieze. I took me several attempts to get it looking good. Then I made the rudder and attached it. Next were the oars,Tricky little things, but I'm pleased with the way they came out. The blade was made from some 1.5mm boxwood, the shaft was a wooden cocktail stick and the grip made from some small strips of boxwood glued to the cocktail stick and reduced to create the squared section.

vulcanbomber Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share #153 Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Here she is in her place on board Pegasus. Next to do is the long boat. I will probably start that at the weekend and will be made in the same way as the pinnace.

vulcanbomber Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share #155 Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) I have been working on my little longboat for Pegasus. I have made the hull using the plug method again. The false keel and frames were cut from 1.5mm Basswood, frames are glued to keel and let dry. The balsa fillers glued in and roughly shaped. After sanding. Large balsa bock glued to top of plug for sticking the frames to, and the frames cut, soaked and bent round the plug. Held to thoroughly dry by rubber bands. Frames now glued in place and ready for the planking.

vulcanbomber Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share #156 Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) The new keel was cut from 1.5mm basswood and glued in place. I even managed to make a rabbet! Planking is 0.5mm maple strips 3mm wide. Now ready to cut from the plug.

vulcanbomber Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share #157 Posted December 1, 2019 Now off the plug and in need of a tidy up inside. After a tidy up with my trusty Dremel and the capping rail fitted (cut from 0.8mm basswood) So this is where I am at now. Next will be the floorboards.

vulcanbomber Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share #159 Posted December 1, 2019 I have a question regarding the stowage of the mast and rigging for the longboat when it is not in use / being readied for use. I am toying with the idea of having the longboat shown being lowered from Pegasus's spars, as though it was being readied for launching, but I don't know how the mast and rigging would be stowed and how much would be in place before it is lowered to the water? What rigging (if any) would be attached to the mast ready for stepping it when the boat hits the water? How would the shrouds and ratlines be stored, would any of it be left attached to the longboat? Same with the stays? Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Guys. popeye the sailor 1 Quote First Completed Build: San Francisco (Original Version) Current build: Victory Models HMS Pegasus Cross Stitch Project (Finished): Battle Of Agamemnon and Ca Ira Cross Stitch Project : Victory & Temeraire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
