Larry Van Es Posted August 12, 2015 #3 Posted August 12, 2015 Make sure that you check everything in the box against the parts list. Not only will you find out if anything is missing or broken, but later when a lot of the parts are removed, it will help you find a part that you're looking for - not to mention the occasional, "what the hell is that and where was it supposed to go?"

augie Posted August 12, 2015 #5 Posted August 12, 2015 GREAT to see another addition to the Syren fleet. You won't be disappointed in the kit or instructions. And don't worry about your English ---- it's MUCH better than my Danish!

I roughly sanded the bulkhead´s and glued the keel and stem knee to the bulkhead former... Ryland Craze, Canute and Dubz 3 Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren

Gundorph Posted August 20, 2015 Author #9 Posted August 20, 2015 Hey Hey... Bulkheads are glued to the BF. It´s 100% straight . Now it´s on to the fillerblocks tonight. And welcome to my Syren build everybody, Nice to have you along... Chuck, Canute, Dubz and 2 others 5 Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren
Gundorph Posted August 24, 2015 Author #10 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Hey... Found the first little issue... The framing templates provided is way out of scale... But then i looked at the plansheet 2 and that scale is correct... Dont now if any of you gays have had that problem??? The picture shows the diffrent issue... The upper model is the correct scale...

jablackwell Posted August 24, 2015 #11 Posted August 24, 2015 I am looking forward to watching your build. The Syren is the next model on my list once I complete the Kate Cory. It will be a step up for me with the plank-on-bulkhead format. Looking forward to it! Concerning the templates: Yes, this is a known issue here on Model Ship World. Not sure why it is not fixed at Model Shipways. If you search the forums here for "Syren template" you will see a slew of others who have encountered this. It all works out in the end.

_SalD_ Posted August 25, 2015 #13 Posted August 25, 2015 I think we've all had that problem Gundorph. I used the one from the plan sheets also. Good job.

Gundorph Posted August 26, 2015 Author #14 Posted August 26, 2015 Good evening.... Got the fillerblocks gluid into place...

Gundorph Posted September 4, 2015 Author #20 Posted September 4, 2015 Good Evening... I got these to 80cm x 120cm magnetic whiteboards today at my work (For FREE)... I immediately thought that i could use them for the plans for my Syren in the Shipyard... Much easier to switch between the different plans... My Shipyard issent that big.... jablackwell, augie, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren
Gundorph Posted September 17, 2015 Author #21 Posted September 17, 2015 Gunports in place... Damm that was a lot off sanding and still need a little more... but the worst is over....

EdatWycliffe Posted September 17, 2015 #22 Posted September 17, 2015 The gun ports look terrific, Gundorph. Very smooth. I'm also impressed with the contours of the filler blocks. How did you get them to flow so well with the shape of the hull? Ed Gundorph 1 Quote <p>EdatWycliffe Current Build: US Brig Syren Prior Builds: MS kit Phantom MS kit Fair American
Gundorph Posted September 17, 2015 Author #23 Posted September 17, 2015 Have not don anything special to let it flow so well... Just pure sanding and a lot of looking at the shape of the hull... If my eyes likes what it sees, it's good enough for me... It´s also Balsawood i`ve used for filler blocks... Easy to shape... Canute and augie 2 Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren
EdatWycliffe Posted September 17, 2015 #24 Posted September 17, 2015 Thanks, Gundorph. I'm still impressed. Recently ordered some balsa. Will try to emulate when it's time for filler blocks.
