Gundorph Posted September 27, 2015 Author #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 #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? Quote <p>EdatWycliffe Current Build: US Brig Syren Prior Builds: MS kit Phantom MS kit Fair American
Gundorph Posted September 28, 2015 Author #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...

MD11pilot Posted October 2, 2015 #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. Gundorph and Canute 2 Quote Eric O.<p>Current Build: US Brig Syren, kit
EdatWycliffe Posted October 2, 2015 #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. Regards, Ed Gundorph 1 Quote <p>EdatWycliffe Current Build: US Brig Syren Prior Builds: MS kit Phantom MS kit Fair American
Gundorph Posted October 2, 2015 Author #38 Posted October 2, 2015 Ed: It´s not about how fast your going.. But having fun in the Shipyard ( for me )... I've also had a lot of time lately... I have no deadline when to be finished... Canute 1 Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren

Gundorph Posted October 6, 2015 Author #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 _SalD_, Ryland Craze, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Current Build: U.S. Brig Syren
