Hi All,

 

Well all of the carronades and long guns have been rigged and rope coils placed.

It’s time for a long overdue up date. Next up was the rudder.

 

Like other parts I used Chucks Syren laser cut rudder.

The rudder is tapered as it works its way aft. 

Also the forward edge is chamfered on both sides.

The pintels and grudeons were made made from another Syren kit. The bolts are simulated with 24 gauge wire.

Hi all,

 

Been real busy this summer with vacation, family commitments and working the last 4 weeks

straight hasn't left a lot of time for modeling. I did pop in and out of the shop from time to time

a few minutes at a time.

 

To make the various masts, yards etc I took some boxwood cut into square stock and shaped them.

The mast dry fitted.

Next I'll be painting and attaching blocks and foot ropes.

 

It's great to be back in the shop and doing what I'm supposed to be doing! :)

I'll continue fitting out the yards next. Then it's time to learn to make thimbles and seize line!

Thanks Bob,, Glad you're safe and sound in Chicago!

Hi Mike, Not sure if the thimbles or seizing will be the most fun!

Ok I said I'd more for the weekend! I just didn't say which one.

 

The two yards have been completed. Blocks, foot ropes etc have also been attached.

Thanks Chuck, Your plans and directions make it a whole lot easier. 

 

Thank you Eric. I see your doing some good work on the Syren. Nice job on the coppering the hull.

I love that Model. It was my first scratch build.

 

Thanks Jaxboat. I used the table saw to cut the grooves. Trust me there have been many

rejects before the final ones made it to the model..

 

OK I put the Syren Ship Modeling traveler ring on the bowsprit. I then served some .025 rope for the

bobstay with a 3/16" single block seized to one end. The opposite end was fed through the stem and

seized. Some .012 line was attached to the bobstay block and fed through  the lower double block on

the bowsprit. At this point I discovered I had no belaying pin to secure the line to! Head slap.

Ok now it's time to make some belaying pins!

Ok I didn't think I needed to break out the lathe to do these small belaying pins so I did as Chuck did.

Can't go wrong doing that. I cut some 3/64ths square boxwood, chucked it in my dremel and using

files made some belaying pins. The success rate was about 50%.
