Welcome aboard ---- AGAIN!
Great to have another Syren log active. I bet we'll have a few more before long.
I'll be following. Looks great so far.

Now this, ladies and gentlemen, is how to reconstruct a build log !!!!! I think we should all contribute and buy Sjors his own PC so Anja can be on line full time.
Well done Anja ----- she's a beauty.

After vigorous sanding of the hull, the entire thing was given 2 coats of stain using the 40/60 mixture of Minwax. The wales were also painted flat black.

OK, I don't know about you folks, but I'm all worn out on re-posting and looking at photos from the 18th Century. So I finally got out of this chair in front of the PC and did some (minor) work.
Here's the latest. The main topmast stays, backstays and preventer stays have been added. Finally converting 'rope' into lines that actually GO somewhere is a blast! I will be using Morope on everything with a diameter of .018" or larger, black for the standing rigging and beige for the running rigging. I picked up on the idea from Frank (riverboat) and really like the beige. The black, in my opinion, is not nearly as spectaclular. It does handle well though, provided you remember to apply some thin CA before you cut it. Otherwise it will unravel instantly.
Special note to Sjors------ No, I did not forget there are shrouds and ratlines on the upper foremast. All in good time, my friend

Some work on the 'chain gang' making the links for the deadeyes.
And here are the deadeyes mounted on the channels
As long as we have deadeyes, might as well start with the shrouds. These are Morope

Thought it might be time to place the masts in temporarily and see what she's going to look like.
You can see that Syren is almost as tall as she is long!!!!!

That's about enough for me for today. What's posted so far took 800 hours in the shop ----- and doesn't fill up a page here!!
I'll pick up tomorrow with mast construction.
Just want to encourage everyone to get back on board if you can. We'll get the site back up to make us all feel proud again (once we survive the shock).
Best regards to all.

How did you catch up so fast? I'm going blind putting my log back in. I had the photos but lost all my jokes. Does that mean I can use them again?????

With the re-starting of the MSW site on 2/15/2013, it has become necessary to re-construct this build log. I have most of the photos but, of course, lack the narrative.
I plan to post the past progress in sections that make sense. It will take a while but I'll do my best.
