You dont really need another Pegasus build log but it helps me a bit. I am preparing myself for a bigger task with either Amati Victory Vanguard or perhaps Occre Montanes. I have never done copper plating or crowsfeet rigging so Pegasus will provide that experience along with an opportunity to...

Hello everyone! I would like to shere with You my latest build - an excelent model Frombork Amati. I know that the are plenty of posts about this ship, however maybe someone will be inspired by my work. Hope You will enyoy it. PS. It tok me about 3,5 months to get to this stage

....some hints from my experience 1. When fitting part 222 grating to part 50 forecastle deck, you need to use the one example of 222 which has a rectangular hole cut in it. The allows the samson post inside the forecastle to be reached for rigging. No way of knowing unless you happen to notice...

Hi All. Decided to post my build of H.M.S. Granado by Victory Models. The kit was purchased many years ago and gathered dust at different stages of construction. The main reasons for these delays were the instructions and the lack of building logs for this specific kit. This is my first ship...

Hello all, I got this HMS Fly kit in the mail a couple days ago. I started looking around after references and found plenty of good build logs on this and other forums as well as some books and original plans that will all be helpful for this build. Some interesting info I found from the first...

Hello Everybody, I'm since +- 2 weeks member and in this context I would like to actively participate in the group. Yesterday, I received the kit and the upgrade kit. It is my intention to honestly write my experience and activities, and will post on a regular base photo's and comments. I...

I posted a sail rigging question in the General topics/help section of SOS for my HMS Fly build. I have decided to add a build log to cover the sail installation. The bowsprit will be the first set of sails and will be furled. I didn’t do a complete build log for H.M.S. Fly because I posted...

Starting my build of HMS Vanguard. I am impressed by the quality of other modelers on SOS, and hope I can come close to a similar outcome. Posting my build images is a bit anxiety provoking, as I hate imperfection, but rarely make things perfect. I welcome all comments and suggestions. Thanks...

Received the Fly yesterday and at the moment looking at the plans and bits and pieces , this will be a lengthy project and looking forward to this project , it doesn’t come with a base and pedestals so will have to order them separately ASAP, also I follow my partner in crime Nomad (LOL) closely...

With my first build Bluenose II under the belt I thought I'd go for broke and have a crack at Amati's HMS Fly, a 1:64 scale model of the sixth-rate Swan Class ship rigged sloop that was originally built in 1776. It is a magnificent looking ship and it was a picture of the HMS Fly that drew me...

Had to wait a couple of months for my next project , the Lady Nelson , she is tiny in comparison to the ‘Cutty Sark ‘ I recently finished . just dry fit the bulkheads and false deck just to see what it looks like , so I will post more pictures with the build progress

So I was hoping to start building one of my POF kits from CAF but I have a couple models that I have already started and I know I should really work on them before starting another one :( I also have the Yuanqing Bluenose in work so I guess I need to work on my discipline and finish something...

Hello! I have started this build in the summer 2007... Radek

Just wanted to share a small story of my first model - Amati's Pegasus kit. Being my first one, I assembled it pretty much to the kit's instructions without much changes or improvements. Just replaced the ugly casted lifeboat with two bought and assembled separately. Here are some photos, as you...

Cabin Furniture In my, HMS Fly build I have incorporated the Great Cabin, Stateroom, and Coach Cabin, and into each of these cabins I have constructed 1:64 scale furniture using acetate film, and a combination of Paint Shop Pro graphic design and origami with a plastic film. A sharp craft...

Hello everybody. A few days ago I finally started building my model. I ordered the Vanguard Amati-Victory kit from my trusted dealer and after two weeks it arrived. Initially I found the kit very expensive but now, that I have seen the contents of the box, I think it is right. The wooden boards...

First Build: Amati HMS Vanguard 1787, 1:72 scale. I appreciate the opportunity to share my first build with the SOS community. I have very limited experience with wood ship modeling and hope to receive valuable advice from members. So, all tips and comments are welcome. A little background about...

Oh Happy Day!!! I am finally starting to put in place the pieces to begin this adventure in ship building and honouring my family history. I have mentioned in other logs that I was planning on doing a build based on a family historical event. As most historical events passed on through the...

Well I think I'm ready to tackle something a little more complicated. I haven't seen a Pegasus build log posted for a while so I will start one. Bought the kit as well as Bob Hunts practicum so ready to start. First thing I noticed when the kit arrived was the weight, maybe 5 pounds or more. I...

I finally received my HMS Fly yesterday and after much review am excited to share this build log with everyone. These first 4 photos represent punch out, dry fit, sanding in various locations to get a comfortable fit, and finally glue up. Had it not been for information from this group as well...
