I was undecided about my next build until I came across your log. The end result tipped the balance and I am ordering it today. Was your life boat from the kit or ordered extra?

I'll leave my plans out in case you have any questions. Rigging was easier than I thought it would be when I say the plans. Life boat was a Master Korabel kit from Crafty Sailor. Also used their blocks and binnacle. If your thread is as fuzzy as mine was consider using something like Corel line stock # SM281 from model shipways. Excellent stuff, wished I'd done that but to far along when I realized the problem and didn't want to rip out all the rigging and start over.

Thanks for the thumbs up Jim. My paramedic nephew has a embroidery business on the side and made me some nifty masks. He wouldn't take payment so my next project will be a naval smoothbore for his desk. Don't like the metal carriage in the kit so I'll be doing a lot of kit bashing. Will do a build log as I progress.

Well I've come to the end of the build. Kind of miss working on it. I still need to work on my rope hanks. That's about the only thing I'm not satisfied with, but overall I've really surprised myself with the final result. When I saw the plans for the rigging I was kind of intimidated. All that's left is finding the correct flags. Tom V gave me a suggestion and I've ordered some. We will see when it comes in if it hangs correctly. Also ordered a display case from my local plastics fabricator. $225 is a good deal and I don't have to build anything but the base. I'll post that process when it comes in. It's a 4 - 6 week wait. They are building lots of shields etc. for local business because of Covid and they are really backed up. Thanks to everybody for your suggestion and comments. It really helped a lot.

It looks completely CORRECT this standing Riggen. Still miss a few lines, when the Yards(s) are added to the Bowsprit. One which is missing is the standing Rig. from the far end of -forgot the name - of the bowsprit.

A last minute addition to Pegasus. It may not be historically correct but the stern light from Syren looked so cool I had to add it to the build. Only thing left now is the case from the local plastics fabricator. A five sided box with polished corners was quoted as $225.00. I'll add the photos on how I make the base when it's done.Pegasus 208.jpgPegasus 209.jpgPegasus 210.jpg
