rlcpowell Posted June 30, 2020 #1 Posted June 30, 2020 Hi all. This is my second ship build and also new to the forum. I’m almost done with my first, a Blue Jacket Ship Crafters Red Baron. I am down to painting which is a process so I decided to start on the Syren. At first I was not going to post my ship build because I am a newbie to this hobby. After reading all the supportive comments and suggestions in other builds I decided I was being an idiot. With that said I have started and here are my initial pictures. I look forward to comments and suggestions. Ryland Craze, Peter Bloemendaal, WalrusGuy and 1 other 4 Quote
Voyageur Posted June 30, 2020 #2 Posted June 30, 2020 Hi Ric, welcome to the forum! I’m sure you’ll be glad you decided to post you build log here. I’ll watch and learn.

Ryland Craze Posted June 30, 2020 #4 Posted June 30, 2020 Hi Robert and welcome to Model Ship World. I am glad that you decided to start a build log on your Syren. There are many Syren build logs on MSW that you can refer to and the kit's designer, Chuck Passaro, is a site administrator of MSW. If you have any questions about your build, I am sure you will quickly get answers from the members here. The Syren is one of my favorite kits and it has an excellent set of instructions that will help you build an exceptional model. Good luck on your build.
