Pegasus build

[Graeme321]

Hi everyone.
I am new to model ship building and I am unfortunately obsessed with detail (don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing) I have Pegasus made by Victory Model and would like to make the kit as detailed as possible
Can anyone suggest the correct size of rigging rope that would be used in this model and is the rope supplied with the kit worth using?
Can anyone suggest where I can get the best scale size rigging blocks for this model or class of ship?
I live in the UK
Thankyou
Graeme

also take a look at the building log by @STGCS showing his completed model - here also several other members were showing finished model of their Pegasus, so I guess some of them can and will help in the information about rigging, which seems to be often a challenge.

HMS Pegasus - by Amati [COMPLETED BUILD]

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...

Inglorious adventures of my Pegasus [COMPLETED BUILD]

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...
