Looks like you are off to a fine start. Good to see you've posted a build log. -

Thanks for posting your build. Your carving is excellent. -
Good tip Mark. I used a Rockwell sonicrafter on the deck and hull of my Conny with good results.

I just used a sanding block on my Fair American. -
Those little boats sure are a big project.

thanks! i had to order some styrene to finish them. send me your email an i'll send the forms.
-
Looks great Harv!
-
Thanks Wayne and Geoff. I'm going to experiment with different line sizes to see what works best for the size of the hole in the new blocks. I plan to use as much of the kit supplied rigging lines as I can.

They are from Warner Woods and he doesn't have a website. He operates via email and postal service. His email is: warwoods@infowest.com I have the order forms and can email them to you if you want.

Thanks for tip. I'll wait and paint the outer hulls after finishing the interior.
-
Looks great! I like the shade of blue that you used. What color and make is it?

Very interesting story. Thanks for posting. -
I agree with Adrieke, I've had very unpredictable results using mine. Sometimes the pin will go in smoothly and other times it takes a lot of force. I drove mine right through the hull a couple of times, so I gave it up.

The Syren is an awesome kit! I hope you have a lot of willpower.

Good work Geoff. I hadn't thought about using square dowels.
-
Very nice!
-
The carriages turned out well. That's a good way to make sure they all match.
-
I agree with Andy. I've used the Tamiya primer on wood, metal, and plastic with good results. I just wish they would sell it in a bigger container because I go through a lot of it.

I received my new blocks from Warner Woods today and below is a picture to show the comparison between them and the ME blocks. The blocks are 3/32" and 1/8". I included the number 11 exacto in the picture for scale. Following that is a picture of the current state of the ships boats. They are shaped and ready for some wood filler to hide all the imperfections before painting. Here are the blocks, 3/32 at the top and 1/8 at the bottom: Boats:

Lol, I know Geoff. I'm due another update soon. I finished shaping the boats and need to work some magic with wood filler to finish the little guys. I also received my blocks from warner yesterday so I'll be able to start rigging the guns.

Thank you Buck!

Thanks Geoff and Grant.
-
Yeah, we had to do some crazy stuff. It was like trying to get into a fraternity.
-
Thank you Anja! I am looking forward to this great opportunity!
