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 all your nice comments! And thank you for all the likes! Both are always highly appreciated! Building these carronades is a bit of a perseverance test as each of them has >60 parts and worst of all 29 holes which need to be drilled with a #80 drill and a pin vice through brass. So a little encouragement is very welcome Thomas -
Excellent job on the rigging, Bob! Your Essex is an absolute beauty! Now that the finish line is so near what are your thoughts for the next project? Thomas

US Brig Syren by Gahm - Model Shipways
Gahm replied to Gahm's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
A little sign of life: I finished the first 5 carronades – see images below. Unfortunately this time in the year there are always too many other projects that need to be taken care of. So right now I am following the philosophy of Confucius: ‘It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop’ Thomas , -
Very nicely done, Sal! And I fully agree with Augie, the details are a lot of work, but they make all the difference later on! Btw, depending on how you build the cannons, they are a lot of (repetitive) details, too Thomas

Looking very good so far! And don't worry about breaking parts . . . probably everybody does that sooner or later. If I would count all the discarded parts during my Syren build they may add up to a second hull . So just have fun and enjoy the build. Thomas

Your rudder turned out very nicely! And I have no idea concerning the copper versus bronze question Thomas

The coppered hull of your Syren looks great! I found this to be one of the most satisfying parts of the building process. And where the finishing process is concerned I belong to the more lazy guys and let mother nature do it. One piece less I can mess up Thomas

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.
