I've spent the last few evenings going through your build and am really enjoying it and learning a lot. Your doing a fantastic job. I'm just starting the planking on mine and will go back through yours as I progress. Thank you for taking the time to log everything.

For those wanting to improve the carronades in the Syren kit there is good news. Model Monkey has 3D printed versions for sale. They include the whole carriage and all other details. They look really nice and I have 2 sets of 8 on the way. They have several photos to look at as well as many other nice looking parts for the kit. https://www.model-monkey.com/product-page/1-64-us-navy-24-pounder-carronades-with-carriages

The beginning of my career working for the US Navy as a civilian I was a draftsman laying lead on vellum. We used to compete to see who could but more detail into the drawings until the chief engineer put a stop to it. He said he enjoyed looking at them but said it was too much detail. One day he dropped one of my drawings on my drafting table and said "you miss spelled a word" and walked away. It was 9 sheets of H-Size with 2 full sheets of notes and a sheet of List of Materials. He came back after lunch and signed off on it and showed me the word. Those were fun times. I did a bunch of drawings for the battleship reactivations.

She looks amazing. -
Your attention to detail on your rigging is fantastic. I really appreciate you sharing all the detailed photos and explaining everything. It's really helping me understand how it's done. I'm doing my first rigging on a simple schooner and this really helps. Thank you.

I've only gone through and looked at your photos but plan to go back and read all your posts. Your Speedy looks amazing and you have convinced me that I need to get this kit.

Erik, I've been going through your build log for a third time. One reason is that I want to learn as much as I can but also because your photography is really beautiful. I'm an amateur photographer and really appreciate seeing you work. I was wondering one thing. In one of your photos you show Cheerful on your work area. Do you do your dusty work there? It's amazingly neat and clean.
