US Brig Syren by Gahm - Model Shipways
Gahm replied to Gahm's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
Thank you so much for your kind comments! They are highly appreciated! Building these little boats is really a lot of fun . . . so Dirk, masts and rigging probably still have to wait a bit longer until the 'little Syren fleet' is finished 😉 Thomas -
US Brig Syren by Gahm - Model Shipways
Gahm replied to Gahm's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
I spent some time building a jolly boat prototype for the Syren. I wanted to find out what it would look like to hang a jolly boat from her rear davits, and also to experiment with a few techniques needed for some of the boat details (also applicable to the long boat construction). To build the jolly boat I bought the Master Korabel kit. This is a kit for a highly detailed jolly boat, which additionally is very similar to the jolly boat plans shown in the ‘Anatomy of the Ship – Frigate Diana’ book. However, the scale of the kit is 1:72 and therefore not directly usable. As the kit does not come with a useful plan I put the 3 sheets of laser cut pear- and ply-wood on a copy machine, increased the copy by a factor 1.25x to get to the correct boat dimensions and then built the boat according to this ‘plan’. The different boat building stages are shown in images 1 – 7. Images 8 and 9 present the finished result. Image 10 shows a direct comparison between the jolly boat built from the kit at scale 1:72 based on the kit provided laser cut parts and the scratch built ‘enlarged version’ potentially suitable as Syren jolly boat.
