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

[shota70]

Last elements before starting with the masting: the nets of the gangways.
I used a cardboard holder of a suitable size, threading very thin cotton thread diagonally between the cuts and then using another thread in the opposite direction by tying knots in it

my dear friend Ricci
it's great pleasure to see your magnificent work

Wonderful, how big is the model if you fully rig her?

The model is in scale 1:36, measuring approximately one metre without the bowsprit. I will not be able to set up a full mast for space reasons; I do not yet know if I will fit the top masts

Wonderful work on the nets. I always wondered what would be the method to produce those nets by hand. You showed us clearly

Outstanding outcome. Not the easiest thing on earth, though!

 

[Steef66]

I love you work, so detailed and perfect.

I do not yet know if I will fit the top masts

I got the same problem with my Prins Willem. It is smaller in scale (1/75) but still over a meter in length and height. It just fit on the mantel of the fireplace.
You can lower the mast in the ropes. They did this with these ships when they where for a long time in the harbour. Here is an example of a Dutch Harbour. Maybe an Idea. And it saves a lot in making ratlines.

The ship presented as laid up in ordinary is an option, but with only her lower masts on, I fear she would look a bit ugly (IMHO...) . Then, I'd rather choose a mere "stump" display.

 

[AnobiumPunctatum]

This decision is for me on the very gar future. So I am happy that I don‘t have to decide now.

I went a little further with the masts:

Your build and the details on how you are making the various parts never fails to impress us. Beautiful!
