Here is a quick recap of the work completed
-
I have failed to finish it yet. I worked on a lot of other projects like a caronade, the Syren and a few models repair and upgrade for families of fellow Ship Modelers that could not finish their ships. But updates are coming.

Thank you for the recommendation. I am done with 80% with the sanding of the frames. It still need to get the bevel and various angles figured out. I am assuming that you first put together the stem and deadwood with the keel, right?

Hi All, I was given this ship and trying to identify what could be its name. it looks like a Cutty Sack or a Flying Cloud but either the bow or the stern varies. Thoughts?
-
Starting to cut the frames. Stopped after 4 and ordered some new blades which will provided smoother cuts.

Framing the stern part started. Fairly challenging process to get the exact position of the gun ports.

Finished attaching the Sills and Lintels.

If you would like to see a video for the stem glue up. Check out the latest installment of building the Model Shipways Syren on YouTube.

Glued up the stem. It took quite a bit of time to adjust each piece to fit as perfectly as possible together Here is the final result.

The deconstruction continues on my Syren. I noticed a few issues with frame adjustments. Here is what my survey outlined. The second and third frames from the stern were too high, resulting into a 1/16 gap between the top of the frame and the center 'spine'. See the red marks below. The solution was to remove them and the blocks surrounding them and push them down. I had a similar situation in the bow (see below). I was able to use a thin strip to provide a smooth transition across all frames for the deck planking. Deconstruction madness in pictures. Since the frames were glued with white glue, I used Acetone to soften the glue and a few tools to remove them. Time for your shot! Removal frame 2. Dry fitting frame 2. Drama with frame 3. The doctor is busy. LOL.... Dry fitting line with frame 2 and 3. MUCH BETTER !!! Gluing and rehabilitation.
