More progress....great! We all had better get going to catch up with you. She really is looking good and impressive with those tall masts! -
This is the first time I have seen your build log and it is truly amazing! Your work is exceptionally clean and crisp and your attention to detail is wonderful! I have really enjoyed all your photos, especially the ones from within the hull...it truly looks like a full size ship!

She's really looking great Sjors! The bowsprit is super! Every bit you add brings her more to life. (more, more more)
-
Your Harriet Lane is looking great! Hopefully no more broken bits...such a sickening feeling when you hear something go 'snap'
-
Will this second interview also be the final one? I'm sure everything will go as well in this interview as the first one - good luck!
-
This is the first time stopping by your build...WOW! I thought of a wonderful list of adjectives for your craftsmanship, but all that came out was Wow!
-
Just gets better and better every time I stop by! Great job! The sail looks really good attached to the mast as well.
-
Wow! You have been busy! She's looking very, very nice!!
-
Okay...save some fish for me. Preferably trout. As for your next build Augie...I'm sure whatever you choose, it will be terrific like your Syren!
-
The linings, guns and breech ropes all look great. I can already tell she's going to be a beauty!
-
Oh...I really like the new ropework! You're right about the contrast too - looks great!

Russ: Thank-you! When I was building my Mayflower I didn't have everything faired as I should have before starting the planking. This meant scraping and sanding between courses of planks...not easy, and lesson learned! Michael: Thank-you as well! Sjors: Thank-you for the "few more" words. I have lots of pictures so I can remember what it looks like after I cover it up...she wouldn't be very seaworthy if I left her like this! Carl: Thank-you! I guess it wasn't a small update after all...just not many pictures. Popeye: Thank-you! I am pleased with the "framed out" version as well.
-
I agree...everything's looking great. I think the door looks better inset too!
-
I agree with everyone - just fabulous, and WOW! It is hard to find the right words for your build...exceptional work!

I have to agree with everyone...great detail and wonderul job! Happy Easter!
-
Mark: Thanks for the word! Augie: Thanks for the two words! Jeff: Thanks! Yes, I'm using the Mantua plans.
-
Another small update. This is just a dry fit again...don't want to fix anything permanently until all the bulkheads have been faired (at least partially) and the decks are cut and test-fitted.

Adrieke: Thanks for stopping by! You're right about scratch building parts, and hopefully I won't have to re-make too many of them! Piet: Thank-you for the good wishes for my family...they are doing better! Thanks for the kind words on the build as well. You're right about Remco's little adage! I always read it when I'm looking at his updates - good advice. Sjors: Thank-you! I'm glad you like what you see! If Anja gets a saw, you could use it too though. Remco: Thank-you for your kind words! I must confess that milling some of my own wood was out of necessity. I can't find the correct thickness of wood nearby, and ordering it would be much more expensive. We already have a workshop with the tools for the job, so it made sense to mill. I have a suspicion that if you milled your own wood it would be perfect. Popeye: Thank-you for the kind comments! Sorry your scroll saw didn't turn out to be all you expected it should be - I was just so lucky with mine.
-
Just went throught the last couple of pages of your log...everything looks great.
-
Nice detail. Everything looks very clean and crisp...great job!
-
Beautiful ship Augie! The rigging just seems to make her come alive!

That's right Carl. I'm sure there isn't anyone here on MSW that has built a model "wihtout a hitch".
-
Everything is looking great Sjors! I had to put sunglasses on to view all those nice shiny decorations.
-
Augie... As for the Exacto knife...without it my Mayflower probably wouldn't exist.
-
Yes, that DOES look great! Nice work indeed.
