When I built my Syren I did the same as you with the blocks, that helps with the deck but not so much with the planking. With my current build, the Essex, I filled it completely. Made planking a lot easier as I had a bigger glueing area, added a ton of weight.

Chris The Speedy is a work of art. I would include the cutter. I may be wrong but it was my understanding that the British Admiralty had drawings and plans for everything. I would go with the plans on “Official” paper rather than an artists rendition.

My only issue with Syren is they don’t offer more awesome products. I have never gotten a poor product from Chuck, they are all first rate. When ever I start a new project I throw away all rigging products that come in the box and replace it with Syren Ship Company product. Metal cast lanterns-tossed, metal cast helms, out-a-here all replaced by Chuck’s outstanding mini kits.....wish the anchor kit came in different scales but.......

Go to “Articles Data Base” button, Masts and Yards. The first article by Chuck will explain everything as it is a tutorial on yard construction.

Chris you are doing an outstanding job. Small business ownership is not for the weak kneed.

That could be interesting. Might work for making fancy work.

I found that doing all the backstays last worked in the tensioning issue.

Great work. -
Glad you changed your mind.

You need to watch the sheet curling when you use those dedicated wood glues. I use CA when gluing sheets because you don’t get the curling, I use the PVA (Titebond 2) when gluing strips

Could you get them 3D printed locally somewhere. There are usually clubs around that may be able to help you out. My Audio/Record shop guy is a Laser/3D hobbyist on the side and he does stuff for me all the time.
