I just calculated the custom fees...then it's not really worth it. So maybe it's better to buy it in the EU. At Dusek it is not available at the moment. That's not a problem now, because i'm not finished with the Pickle yet. But thanks for the reactions!

Tnx Dirk. With the current discounts at Model Expo I would pay about 90 euro less then at the Dusek site ;). The only thing that's uncertain is indeed the customs.

Hello! I have a question about the brig Syren of Model shipways. I'm now building the Caldercraft Pickle and it is my first build. I was wondering if the US brig Syren is appropiate as a second model, because it's advertised as a advanced model. It's offcourse not an easy question and I understand that even beginners can build the Victory if they really want it. But is it a doable step? I like offcourse the idea that it is designed by Chuck Passaro with the extensive manual, and the model is very attractive. There's now a sale on model expo so it's for me (I live in the Netherlands) fairly cheap to purchase one. Second question for the European people. Did someone ordered from Model Expo? And are there problems with shipments?

Thank you 🙂. Yes that is correct. I stained it pretty heavy. It was not my intention to do it that dark. But afterwards, I like it. It looks now like dark oak in my opinion. -
Really nice job Lazy Saint! She looks very "fresh" and sharp. Well done!🎇

Bowsprit constructed, stained, painted and dryfitted. At first some things look a bit daunting, but just step by step it becomes the end result. With a david plane I taper the dowel and with a cordless drill the final step...making it round and smooth.

Fore bitts put together, painted and glued into place. Don't know if I have to glue the belaying pins also?
-
You're doing great with the carronade tackle Norway...patience is the key here haha. But it seems you are handling it pretty well. Nice set-up with the tweezers in the vise 👍
-
Great explanation Peter! 👍
-
Looks great😊👍 Did you choose white because of a particular reason? Looks fine though.

Made a few big steps the last days...made and painted the skylights and the companion. And glued everything on the deck afterwards. Also the pumps The companion was not easy, that needed some re-do's haha. I wheatered the items also, but the photo's don't show it that well
-
Thanks! Afterwards...first rigging the whole thing and then separately I make the cheese wheels with the method that is described in the manual. That was some trying, but at some point you get the hang of it. So not on the deck, but on a piece of tape first.
-
Very nice build so far! And, nice clean look! Good luck with the carronades :D:D:D
-
Those are straight from the kit I will keep things pretty standard from the kit with this build. First goal is to finish a ship😂
-
Thanks for your kind words! And have fun with your first build. Just take it slow 😉. And maybe start a build log so we can follow your progress to👍
