catopower Posted March 10, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 10, 2017 Hi All, I'm putting out a general call out to anyone who may have some extra 5/32" single Swiss pear blocks from Syren Ship Model Company. I'm running very short. As you may know, these are out of production and only boxwood blocks are now available and I don't need those. I've checked with Chuck Passaro just in case, but no luck. I have a small supply of other sizes of Swiss pear blocks. I'm hoping someone out there has an extra pack or two of the 5/32" singles they might be willing to sell or to trade for another size they might need. Thanks in advance for your responses, Clare Ryland Craze, Canute and mtaylor 3 Clare Hess He's a -> "HE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catopower Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted March 12, 2017 Hi Don, In fact, I just jumped back in on the Independence and going full tilt to get her done. I think I'll have the rigging finished this weekend, and then I have to work on finishing and mounting the swivels. Also, I lost the compass I made, so I'll be remaking that as well. That should be it. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to blog about it. Too much to do!
