Augie,
My warmest (because it's cold outside) and happiest birthday wishes to you.
You better get well soon as I am also missing your fabulous build log with regular updates.
I will have a grogg for you tonight.

Burroak reacted to _SalD_ in US Brig Syren by _SalD_ – FINISHED - 3/16" scale
It seemed like I worked all weekend on the ship but didn't get much accomplished. First I beveled the bulkheads slightly just shy of the guide lines. Then I glued all the bulkheads to the BF being careful to align each one 90 degrees and vertical to it. I did one at a time and waited three to four hours for the glue to set before gluing the next one in place. One thing I discovered while dry fitting the bulkheads in place was that Jenga blocks suck for lining up the bulkheads (scratch that idea). I used a modified version of Floyd Kershner’s aluminum angles and a drafting triangle. I also attached the bow fillers and filler material to bulkhead ‘P’ prior the gluing it in place. I just thought it might be easier to get the basic shape down before gluing it in place.

Jesse the hardware mfgs that make door knobs and such out of brass, put a coat of lacquer on the finish to protect it. You might try that on the copper plating. I would try it on some left over plates to make sure it doesn't damage anything. Just a thought. Your ship looks amazing.
