OldChur Posted June 6, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 6, 2020 Hello folk. I got interested in this beautiful ship while watching many of your build logs. Last week I piped up and asked Mr. P. if I could join and he welcomed me graciously. So, I hear the doorbell a few moments ago and discovered the parts that I ordered from his company Siren, are already here. Even though I am just finishing the outer hull for my Model Shipways Constitution, I can't wait to start this one. So, I am going to work on both. I will try to talk myself into starting a build log for the connie, but, it is just not up to my standards. Next I will post pictures of the kit parts I received from Siren.

OldChur Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted June 6, 2020 Thank you. I have a few. I just need to figure out how to get them posted. I also thought that this is one of the most beautiful frigates that I have seen. I just hope I can do her justice. FrankWouts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldChur Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted June 6, 2020 Here are a few pictures of what came in the mail. That is my king size bed. This thing is huge which will be great for my arthritic hands:) What an excellent kit. The laser cuts on this thing are very precise. They are thin and the parts aren't too badly burned either. What you don't see here are Mr. P's instructions that are three chapters so far and are just excellent. I believe this adventure is going to make me a much better ship builder.

OldChur Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted June 14, 2020 Ok, Here are some more progress pictures. I am following the excellent instructions from Chapter one of the build. JpR62, Edwardkenway and FrankWouts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldChur Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted June 14, 2020 Now that the basic structure is complete, glued and true, It is time to add the bulkheads. I have these old plastic clamps that are a pain to use for clamping and discovered that if I remove the bottom part, that it is an exact 90 degree angle. Perfect for setting the bulkheads. So, I took them apart and started adding bulkheads 4 at a time at first because that's how many clamps I had. I am using Titebond II glue and it sets up pretty well in 20 to 30 minutes. I have discovered over time that I can remove the clamps on most things in that time. So, I simply added 2 or 3 bulkheads every 30 minutes or so last night and finished the final 3 this morning. sfotinos, CaptMorgan, Gregory and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
