Hello Bob, I just got me a seat to watch your new build. I was afraid that I may be too late and you are already finished with your new model . . . at the speed you always are going . In my opinion the Prince is an excellent choice. She has very elegant lines and there is a close to unlimited amount of information available for fine detailing. I am looking forward to the journey! Thomas

That looks REALLY nice, Richard! It gives those davits a purpose. Do you leave the rear gun ports open? Thomas

US Brig Syren by Gahm - Model Shipways
Gahm replied to Gahm's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
As long as I still have easy access to the deck I added the anchor cable along with 2 stoppers on each side. The stoppers were built according to the description in Charles G. Davis ‘The Built-Up Ship Model’ consisting of an eye around a thimble (img 1) secured with ‘round seizing’ and with a ‘double wall with ends hitched’ as stopper knot (img 2) at the other end. Img 3 shows the finished stoppers. In img 4 the lanyards are attached (simulated splice). Imgs 5 – 7 show the anchor cable arrangement with the stoppers in place.

Wonderful carving, Albert! Did you use boxwood for the figurehead? Your whole build is just outstanding! Thomas -

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
