    This is the way I would go...

    Just finished up the limited edition kit for the Joint Clubs show. I will be giving away 8 of the 25 kits in this limited run at the show. They will be raffled off with the tickets you get at the show in your welcome packet. I will make several more of this small run available here after the show in April. The figure is included along with a ship's cat which has yet to be added. It makes for a quick project and a nice desk-top display. So sign up for the show if you are able to attend.

    Perfect

    Lovely!!

    Beautiful work. Really nice progress.

    The testing process was long and hard before I got the results I liked. I just spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars testing different resins and mixing them together. Post print and pre print dye added....more testing etc. Hundreds of man hours and print tests. Very frustrating along the way. Many many failures. And of course the best results were from the most ridiculously expensive resin. With so many new people starting to sell 3d printed blocks and other aftermarket products, my final proprietary blend of herbs and spices will remain a Syren Secret Formula. At least for now. Sorry and I hope you understand. I have been burned before. Chuck

    Wonderful start. Glad you could join us.

    Thank You... This is a rack block....although a smaller one on the Speedwell. See it just behind the gammoning. On the bowsprit.

    Some Syren 3d printed rack blocks and shoe blocks....a special project but I may make these available.

    I use any brand but always the medium viscosity. I know many hate…hate….CA glue for rigging. But it works for me and you use very little as you wipe it off right away. But you could use PVA as well. But it will take longer to dry and is problematic with synthetic polyester rope. Chuck

    Thank You so much...You would not believe how long it took and how much money I spent testing to get that color and finish. Slightly different with each block and within each block... but consistent. With just a hint of different shading and transparency in each block. When they are too uniform and flat they look fake like most others I see on the market. But a real wood finish isnt like that. I am quite happy with them.
