Gundorph Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share #33 Posted September 27, 2015 Good morning from Denmark... Here´s an update on the Syren, It´s beginning to take shape... Got the stern framing in place, painted the gunport and made the filler blocks. Off to charpter 5. Looking forward to that..

EdatWycliffe Posted September 27, 2015 Share #34 Posted September 27, 2015 Looks great, Gundorph. Q: at what point in the build did you find that it was best to fair the bulkheads? Thanks, Ed P.S. Visited Copenhagen and Bornholm not too long ago. Loved them both. Do you live near either?

Gundorph Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share #35 Posted September 28, 2015 Ed : I would fair the bulkheads when the fillerblocks are glued into place.. I live 160 Km from Copenhagen on Fyn... Made a jig for bending planks, the first planks and wales is in the jig now drying. So tomorrow i can get started with the wales... rtropp, Gahm, hervie and 5 others 8 Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD11pilot Posted October 2, 2015 Share #36 Posted October 2, 2015 Great progress Gundorph. There are a lot of Syrens on this forum and every one of them has its own personality given by the builder. I never get tired of watching a new ship take form and hearing how each builder conquered particular tasks.

EdatWycliffe Posted October 2, 2015 Share #37 Posted October 2, 2015 Looks great, Gundorph. You are really progressing fast. I'm much slower in my progress--not yet done with C.1. Just filed my first detailed log entry.

Gundorph Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share #40 Posted October 6, 2015 Hey..... And so the planking began... After seeing Eric O´s Syren hull painted Yellow Orcre.. I have come to doubt whether I should paint it or not... I lean towards painting it... I really like the way it looks when it´s painted Yellow... But first PLANKING Canute, _SalD_, Jason and 2 others 5 Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
