Hello fine gentlemen. I have purchased this kit more than 10 years ago. Started it but never passed over 1st planking. Now i feel confident enough to build it. attached some pics from where i left it

I have cut away the gunports to add some width to the walls

...but i didn't like i so i demolished it

...and decided to redesign it to my liking using the David Antscherl monographies

That took a lot of nerve to do that because it was not right. Congratulations for not settling and trying over.

Thank you Allan. i think i shall design my own kits from now on

Nothing wrong with kit bashing or scratch as an alternative. It all depends on our own personal goals which is different for each of us.

What sources are you using for your study and fine work? I am guessing you have downloaded the high resolution inboard profile plans of the sister ships Cygnet and Atalanta from the Wiki Commons website and the deck plans for Pegasus from RMG. Are you also using the four volume set of books on building Swan, Pegasus. et al by David Antcherl? The details in his books are incredible for any build, but centered on your vessel.

hy Allan. I have bought the Antscherl monographies and using the references from Greenwich museum for the Swan class. i have altered them to fit the Amati pieces. i am a bit nervous, hopely they will fit in the end.

You are doing fine. Most would modify the pieces to fit the books and original plan rather than the other way around, but go with works best for you. Our hobby is a never-ending learning experience.
