Hei Thomas! Could you please comment me your picture no.7. What kind of dark material was connected to the plywood? Is this still JB weld as on picture no.5?
-
Did some test coppering. At this moment I can't reach a better nail pattern as I don't have any vertical drilling devices. I'm not sure if to continue or try to find some solution later.
-
I have a first big question. According to the plans the first row of the copper plates starts from the keel and goes up to the waterline. But I've studied different sources and saw that the first row started from the waterline and went down to the keel everywhere. Does our Syren has her own way of coppering?
-
Thank you very much, Gunther. Hope you are not allergic to cat pictures.

Forgot to post my shipyard's keeper. He's 1 meter long and his name is Thomas, he-he.
-
Danke, Dirk)) Your log is also a great schoolbook for me and my notebook is full of your Syren pictures.
-
Thanks a lot Thomas. Your top-quality job is like a lighthouse for me.

Ready with paintings and think there will be more coats of black. Different details are finnished such as ladders, simulated sheaves and so on. The 0,6 mm plywood list was installed on to the deck. Also testing how the deck should look like. Next steps are the deck and copper plates so it'll take muuuuch time. Perhaps I'll leave the hull without copper plates cause the wood looks fine for me. But I didn't decide yet.
-
Great project to follow and to learn the things.

How did Chris De Burgh say? The lady in red is dancing with me.
-
0.5 mm plank was painted in red and used to form gun port openings.
-
It would be wise to install the sheaves before planking the hull. Now I have to think how to show them without spoiling the planks.
-
Thank you Mr. Helmsman. I think preparation work makes the difference. Will always recomend using balsa on POB models. Dust is the only problem with this sort of tree. I've learned many new words when my wife found the dust even in the soup. He-he. Making the cap rail is a serious problem as it needs edge bending. My solution was to create cap rail in the bow part from separate planks. When glued and sanded they look like one solid wood. Black paint will finish the process. Transom cap rail made of special wood which bends easily. I'm not sure what kind of wood it is. Just bought it in a hobby shop.

Sincere thanks for your warm comments. This is my very first experience in the shipmodelling. Chuck Passaro did the great job. All I need is to follow his instructions. Posting more pictures and preparing myself for the deck construction. Treenails were made of brown fishing line 0.55 in diameter. Then the wales were fixed.
-
Then I continued with the port frames and planking was started. Planking process took much time and I was lucky to finish it.
