Rich, place the cursor directly over the #1 in your first post, then right mouse click on it without moving it. A popup window should appear with a list of actions, select the one labeled "copy link location" and left mouse click on it. That will place the link into your clipboard. Then proceed as above.

Rich, first go to the top of this build thread, right click on entry #1 and select "copy link location", the go to your profile and edit it as you did to create the signature. highlight the entry "USS Syren" etc in your signature, then click on the link symbol in the full editor window (center block, 2nd line to right of B I U S symbols - 3rd box over) when the window opens, select it and right click again, select Paste, the close windows. You can also at the same time select the Bold symbol to highlight it in bold face type.

For you history buffs, the USS Argus was instrumental in winning a major battle in the Barbary Wars in the early 1800's under President Jefferson. Marine Lt. Presley O'Bannon was the Marine commander aboard the USS Argus and was the hero of the Battle of Derna that gave birth to the first line in the Marine Corps Hymn..."to the shores of Tripoli". O'Bannon was awarded the Mameluke sword by the restored prince of Derna, Tripoli and the Mameluke sword was adapted by the USMC for all officers to wear during formal ceremonies to this day.
The Argus gave artillery support during the battle and helped turn the tide of battle. These Barbary Wars were the equivalent of fighting ISIS today.

The USS Syren will be my 4th attempt to match the high quality of the models many of you create here on this great website.. I am actually going to build a model of the USS Argus, but since nobody makes this kit, I will make some modifications to the USS Syren to create the USS Argus.
The model kit is supposed to be in the mail. I bought it from Model Expo.

Hi everyone!
Many thank you for your words of support and all your LIKES!
So, last evening I was going to fix the back of the mast and its standing rigging, and then install and fix running rigging... But it turned out that the guys on the one hand have been set incorrectly.
I had to pull out the mast and do everything over again.
Then I set the running rigging too. These temporary loops did their job

Just magnificent work, Igor. I can only imagine trying that, but you do make it look easy.

Oh, thanks, Carl!
This project is also another test of another manufacturing method of water from the two-component silicone.
As you may remember for one of my current projects is very important to get a clear sea. It is very important to be able to see the underwater parts of the composition.
Best Regards!
Igor.

Then I prepared the rear mast and set it in place.
On this moment I decided to make a break in the work, because I needed more time to carefully check the rigging and then finally I will to fix the mast and its rigging.

Now I was able to start assembling the model in a bottle. First, I installed and glued the engine room.

Then I set the upper part of the body in its place, added a little glue and tightly pressed her to the bottom part of the hull.

And then, finally, came the long-awaited moment

canoe21 reacted to IgorSky in LENA by IgorSky - FINISHED - scale 1/290 - BOTTLE - steam schooner
I also lifted up the boats and drawed rigging scheme
I also made one additional tool to work with standing rigging

canoe21 reacted to IgorSky in LENA by IgorSky - FINISHED - scale 1/290 - BOTTLE - steam schooner
As you remember, I set on the deck several lifting eyes for fixing the rigging. Lifting eyes have a hole diameter of 0.2-0.3 mm. Since I'm going to put the mast in the bottle separatly from the hull, it will be quite a difficult task to stretch the thread through the lifting eyes. So I decided to insert the temporary loops from threads into them.

Meanwhile, I continued the preparatory works.
So, I added some quantity of the gel to increase the size of the waves.
I also made this tool for drawing of foam

I also added the waves in remote places of the bottle, to which had not got around and added a little "waviness" in the field of foam crests.

Hi everyone!
Many thanks for your interest to this log!
Yes, the work went very slowly over the last two months, but still some progress has
So I am pleased to share with you news on this project
So, I set the handrails on the stern.I put off this step as long as possible, because very hard to keep them from being damaged during operation, when installed in the model

I did have two pictures in the camera. in this application, it's too bad there isn't a call for chrome silver.......they would have fit the bill nicely. I'm sure I can use these......hide them in paint or something. I think blackening would be hard, as I'm sure that they are coated with something.
if I go back......I'll make sure I have my readers. then I can do a more complete search
