Oh Steve, I overlooked your question. The case design is not yet clear. Currently I am collecting images of all case ideas, which I like. I should have a pretty good collection once I will need to answer this question 😊 Thomas -

Steve and Andrew, thank you for your kind remarks! And again, thanks for all the 'Likes'! Gulfmedic1, I apologize for the late reply. I did not have access to the internet for several days and therefore did not see your question. The rivets are imprinted the usual way, i.e. the result are really rivets which are not 'outward' rivets but 'inward' rivets. Amazingly due to their small size it is difficult to distinguish - like an optical illusion. To achieve this size - also to stay somewhat within the correct scale - I used diabetes needles for the inprint. Thomas -
You have created a wonderful model! Thomas

A little progress . . . the bowsprit is now permanently mounted. The splashguard was made out of three 1/32” layers of boxwood, sequentially wetted, the first layer bent around a jig, the following layers around the existing preceding one (or two), and glued together. This layer technique resulted in a very stable design, which held the shape and also presented no problems when cutting the fairleads (img. 1 – 3). The gammoning can be seen in img. 4 – 5. And finally I added the bumkins shown in img. 6 - 8 with double stropped blocks (img. 6). Double stropping nicely allows for the 90° between the block and the lashing to the bumkin. It also shows again how universally the Syren serving machine can be applied. Img. 9 and 10 give an impression of the current state of the model.

You did it! Congratulations! She is a beautiful model! I am always amazed how complex the finished Syren is once the whole rigging is in place. 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.
