JesseLee Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share #812 Posted June 21, 2017 When fitting the stern davits they didn't fit as good as they should. found that I needed to add a strip under them made them sit at the right height much better. I didn't feel the pegs beneath the kit supplied cleats were deep enough to hold well when rigging is pulling on them so I snipped them off, drilled them out and glued wire pins in that will sit deeper and grab the wood better. Stern davits and cleats on and painted.

JesseLee Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share #816 Posted June 21, 2017 Hello Richard, from your post I discovered your Syren and will be following it. I saw someone else tie the binnacle on their build log. I checked it out doing Google searches and found it was commonly done so I added it to mine for some extra detail.

JesseLee Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share #836 Posted July 7, 2017 Many things have kept me from my building. Fighting my illness then my father-in-laws passed away. We got invited to the coast for a few days and jumped at the chance. I really wanted to visit the Maritime Museum while there but others weren't as interested as I was and it didn't happen. A little disappointed. We got back and we had a major problem with the air conditioning for the 4th time this year. Hopefully everything will get somewhat back to normal now. I have been squeezing in a few min. here and there over a while on the build waiting for things to allow me to start posting again. Trying to remember to take pictures but half the time forgetting to for part of the steps. Jumping around a bit from the order of the instructions. Constructing the longboat. Glued the pre-cut lifts together per instructions (forgot to take pics of some of the steps. Shaping these boats just right has always been a problem for me. i made templates for the shape changes from the instruction sheets. to guide me. Sanding it down to the proper thinness didn't work out well. I took off too much material in the front and didn't get the shape right in the rudder area. Didn't want to start all over so I built up and puttied areas too thin, did some other re-shaping and patch up work. This didn't look very well and even though the lower areas would be painted on the outside it wouldn't have that planked look so I re-planked it inside and out to hide all the flaws. Using scrap pieces I used darker strips where it will be hidden by the white paint later.

GaryKap Posted July 8, 2017 Share #839 Posted July 8, 2017 Hi Jesse - Nicely done, so far. The frames, floor boards, thwarts, and oarlocks etc, will really make the ship's boat stunning. I do have a recommendation for you. The instructions on page 74 tell you "With these details completed the boat can be glued on top of the gallows bits". I waited until after I had completed the running rigging to do this, and was glad that I did. I believe the boat on the gallows bits would really get in the way and make it more difficult to belay many of the lines during rigging. But as always, there is more than one "right way" to build a model ship. I'm glad to see you back in the shipyard. <<Gary>> popeye the sailor, JesseLee, SGraham and 6 others 9 Quote current build: SYREN nearly done: Fair American, Benjamin W. Latham future builds: Emma C.
