H.M.S. PEGASUS - Swan Class by David Antscherl & Greg Herbert Scale 1:36

[Giampy65]

Hi,

Are there drawings that show the decorations and the figurehead for HMS "Pegasus" ?? If yes, where could I find them ??

The monograph shows a figure of a woman as a figurehead and not the winged horse Pegasus. I will have to look for something that will fit, hopefully I will make it!

The friezes you see in the photos are carved by hand from boxwood. The monograph obviously contains the drawings from which the friezes are made

Thanks for your answer, can you just tell me one more thing about what "Monograph" are you talking ??

That star decoration on the cathead is incredible and the anchors are a piece of art in itself.
What a stunning model! Respect

Is the question about the image still relevant? In the original drawing the figurehead is shown as follows:

If interested:
Shown on the stern:
Perseus (left) cuts off the head of Medusa (right). Pegasus (center) jumped out of Medusa's body. Below the hooves of Pegasus, the Helikon Mountains are shown, where Pegasus knocked out a water source. Along the edges are masks of comedy and tragedy, because Pegasus patronized art and theater.
