ROFLMAO -
Very glad you are back in the saddle with your logs Sjors, now we need to see how the balance of power shifts for the sjorsian wars again! Lol Ben

Hey Augie, I just noticed that the Syren build logs are now grouped in with the build logs for kits and not in its own section like before! So you've been transferred in with all of us ruffians. So glad your back mate, I expect to be enjoying the re hashed jokes immediately. Lol. Ben

Nice to see you back Ron, I do hope you can recover all your old pictures, would be a great loss to the site not to have them. Ben

Oarlocks and Horse added, using supplied wire from kit, oarlocks will be painted red to match. Friezes were added, I had to resize them down to 88% of original to get the sizing to fit, then I sprayed them with artists fixative to stop it from fading, then I used rubber cement on both surfaces to glue them on. Final pic shows it next to her big sister ( USF Confederacy ), for which I will have to build 2 slightly smaller ( 3/16" scale ) ships boats. This marks an end to all the old pics up to now, I am currently building and painting all of the mast and spars and their associated metal work, more pics to follow with comments always welcome. ben
