Rustyj Posted May 15, 2017 Author #159 Posted May 15, 2017 It’s time for a long overdue up date. Next up was the rudder. Like other parts I used Chucks Syren laser cut rudder. The rudder is tapered as it works its way aft. Also the forward edge is chamfered on both sides. The pintels and grudeons were made made from another Syren kit. The bolts are simulated with 24 gauge wire. Time to make some masts and yards! alde, Canute, Jack12477 and 22 others 25 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout

Rustyj Posted September 9, 2017 Author #162 Posted September 9, 2017 Hi all, Been real busy this summer with vacation, family commitments and working the last 4 weeks straight hasn't left a lot of time for modeling. I did pop in and out of the shop from time to time a few minutes at a time. To make the various masts, yards etc I took some boxwood cut into square stock and shaped them. The mast dry fitted. Next I'll be painting and attaching blocks and foot ropes. It's great to be back in the shop and doing what I'm supposed to be doing!

Jaxboat Posted October 2, 2017 #178 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Hi Rusty, Great work as always. Your ladders look great. How did you cut the grooves (file? razor saw?, table saw). My first attempts at the confederacy method were OK but not as nice as yours. Best Jaxboat Edited October 2, 2017 by Jaxboat mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote
Rustyj Posted October 3, 2017 Author #179 Posted October 3, 2017 Thanks Chuck, Your plans and directions make it a whole lot easier. Thank you Eric. I see your doing some good work on the Syren. Nice job on the coppering the hull. I love that Model. It was my first scratch build. Thanks Jaxboat. I used the table saw to cut the grooves. Trust me there have been many rejects before the final ones made it to the model.. OK I put the Syren Ship Modeling traveler ring on the bowsprit. I then served some .025 rope for the bobstay with a 3/16" single block seized to one end. The opposite end was fed through the stem and seized. Some .012 line was attached to the bobstay block and fed through the lower double block on the bowsprit. At this point I discovered I had no belaying pin to secure the line to! Head slap. Ok now it's time to make some belaying pins!

Rustyj Posted October 6, 2017 Author #180 Posted October 6, 2017 Ok I didn't think I needed to break out the lathe to do these small belaying pins so I did as Chuck did. Can't go wrong doing that. I cut some 3/64ths square boxwood, chucked it in my dremel and using files made some belaying pins. The success rate was about 50%. Hmmmm.......Looks like I need to do some dusting!
