Great work, can't even tell there was any damage. -
To bad about the damage, but it looks like your repairs are going well.
-
The finished model looks awesome. I am starting to learn that a lot of the Al kits are to be polite just a bit off.

Great work for your second build.
-
I like what you did with the windows, well done.
-
Great work as always Peter, you said 3/16 wide for the deck planks that works out to about 5mm I think, the reason I ask is I have the MS kit and would like to get it correct when I do build it.
-
Thanks Steve I hope to see your build, thanks David I agree a lot can be done with this kit.
-
Your work is very good nice and clean, I have checked your website you have some really nice models there.

Thanks Russ, always glad to have you follow my build.

Update time. First 2 pics show some of the new deck furniture along with the scratch built pump (didn't like the metal kit one). Picture 3 and 4 give a better view of the installed railing which was painted black along with the rubbing strakes, I also painted the outer bulwarks white for some contrast. Next up cannon rigging. I got my first rigging done on the barrels and a the installed bow sprit. all comments welcome.

The stern plate is a huge improvement on the stock part, well done.
-
Looks like you are doing some good work, I like that you are being very careful and checking your bulkheads a lot.
-
Thanks guys, I must admit I am not really crazy about this kit, but with a little extra work I think you can turn out a pretty good model. Update coming very soon.

Your planking looks really good, nice update. -
As always well done, I am surprised the bulkheads were that far off, looks like 1/16 of an inch. I guess it's always a good idea to check the plans before doing any work.
-
I always love your build logs, so easy to read and your work is perfect. The test section looks great.
-
Amazing work on your Morgan, the details you have put in make it hard to tell your model from the real ship.
-
What a beautiful model, I am shore the new owner is very happy with it.
-
The netting looks great, it really adds some nice detail to the build.

Time for an update. The first pic shows the stock water barrel on the right and on the left I sanded off the bands that hold it together, the second pic shows the modified barrel with the new masking tape bands, the planks scribed in and stained golden oak. The third pic shows the barrels installed on the deck, I think they came out pretty good. The last 2 pics show some of the deck furniture installed like the dog house, hatch, tiller and the scratch built rudder the stock rudder did not fit. All comments welcome.

Great build of your Syren, when done it will be a beautiful ship.
-
Wow your deck work is amazing, I am on the side of know tree nails, looks great just the way it is.
-
Thanks Geoff, I first used a blacken it solution twice, the solution worked ok but it didn't give the coverage I was looking for so I gave it 2 coats of Testors flat black.
