US Brig Syren 1803 by danri - Scale 1:64
Mirabell61 replied to danri's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
very nice built model Danri also the self made coppering tiles with the nail pattern Looks great Nils -
Pete, one could fall in love with the lines of those keelboat daysailers. If I had known at that time that this build (in actual) was on the market I would have bought it instead of my Cornish Cormorant way back in 1987 Nils

thanks a lot B.E. an approval from your side for this solution means a lot, I know we both exchanged thoughts on this some time ago, versa your Version with the plankways both sides, which also Look good, but now was the time it could be done. The to be cut deckbeam in that Position was supported from beneath with two pillars. Perhaps I shall leave away the ladder on the port side. Nils

Jason, I`m using the RB article 005 1449 It is declared scale 1:72 but is f itting wonderfull with 8 or 9 steps from deck to deck for models in scale 1:64 ( step to step is 3mm = 192 mm actual)) Nils
-
thank you Jason, unfortunately I have no milling Equipment for such precise ladder making, so I buy little ladder kits (material for two ladders per kit) from RB-Models web shop. The mini kits are comprising the cheeks and the steps that have to be inserted and glued into the Slots, all in several different scales Nils

Today the Access ladder to the forecastle deck is fitted for Position check I know this may not be historicly wise correct, but I just could`nt mount those Little "pigeon-ladders" the way the plan shows. Leaving awy the forecastle bulkhead anyhow, the underneath area would be open, and the captain claimed a propper stair there after slipping off the foreseen ladder of the plan several times The ladder now neatly fits in between the first and the second starboard gun, without hindering the tackles there Nils

She`s coming on very nicely Pete Nils

Thank you very much Peter, you are reflecting exactly my thoughts I have in mind....., thats a nice Picture resembling a great Inspiration for sail Setting on a model, probably I´ll go for a good compromize solution like that. Your own rigging with partial furled and hauled up sails is also a good Version for orientation... Nils

Thanks for sharing the pics Mike, a very fine and interesting looking model Nils

A wonderful built ship Ilhan, it is exiting to go through your build log, all Details are masterly built. Very clean and pricice built hull and planking. My congrats to this great acheavement. I admire your Talent for doing the blocks and the metalwork as well as the sails, they look great and the ships boats are superbly built in all very well done !! Nils

Hello Peter, nice to hear from you again, and thanks for your words... I had really planed to do full rigged sails, always hoping that the one or other of the fellow builder would set sails to a good breeze well ahead of me, so I can see what it Looks like. In my mind I see a White swan blustering its feathers a bit, drifting over the lake in a gentle wind. I also remember That Danny (his wonderfull Vulture 1:48) once mentioned that too many sails would hinder the sight into the outcut hull and -decks and I share his opinion there. For the standing and possibly the running rigging I trust and hope there shall be some very well done presentations on the Swan Classes rigging on MSW in due time, and last not least with aid of the Amati plan. When the time for rigging is reached, I will have to groove myself in first anyhow. I think Glen Barlow once mentioned that he spent so much accureness and functioning ropes into the running rigging Detail, that the ship could be sailed if magnified to actual size. Cheers Nils

I`m with Bob, Nigel and Pete That model is very interesting in look it is expressing his /her Feelings about the planking Job in a very Special way... Nils

Thank you Popeye, I hope that I can get the forecastle deckrails (without a roughtree rail) done in the same way, but would have to Change some of the already neat Fitting glued on parts (hopefully without destroying anything else in doing so) I`m glad I did`nt fit the catbeams and the upper bow rails yet Nils

Hello Martin, thank you for visiting my log. At the beginning of my own decision for a "Swan Class vessel making" (Fly or Pegasus)I was also a bit irritated by the Amati kit contents such as castings for quarterbadge and sternplate. After asking the Amati dealer, I was told that the Pegusus had no metal castings but layer photo-etched brass sheets that would give a halfway 3D effect. I found this very interesting, because never seen before, and the result from MSW fellow builders Pictures encouraged me then to purchase the Pegasus plan together with these etched parts and to do a scratch-build Version. What I like with some of the HMS Fly Models displayed, is the creme-White Sub waterline paint finish. Maybe yours shall show this as well. Wish you ongoing good success with yours and much fun as I am having in setting her together, also getting all this inspitation that MSW comunity provides... Nils
