US Brig Syren by McSpuds - 1:64 - from Chuck's group build


Recommended Posts

I have finally returned to the hobby from a long break.  I see the group build for my project is over but I will continue it here in the scratch build area.  I have recuperated photos from my older "Syren" build to catch everyone up to where I am now with her. 

 

I will have to knock off the dust and check all the joints to ensure they are solid.  It has been sitting on top of my shelf since 2007.

 

 

I first took my files to Kinkos and had the prints made. This was my booklet stayed in one piece!

Now on to the bulkheads. Some of these where so tight I had to shave the paper off of the bulkhead former.

I then placed filler blocks in between the bulkheads.

 

I also did the planking between 16 and 20.

Now the planking begins.....

 

Shortly after this I deployed, and then sadly was unable to continue upon my return due to an injury.

 

Then work and life kicked in hard and I had decided to shelf my boat till I could take more time with her.

 

Now that I am retired, and my injury has been corrected enough to allow me to enjoy my hobby, I once again continue on the build!

 

I hope the brief explanations above are ok, it was a long time ago and I can not remember all the details on why I took each photo. From here on out there will be more detailed involvement in the explanations...

Looking good, Terry.   I don't think you're in the running for the longest build... Wintergreen's Regina I think owns the record.  ;)

Hi Terry and a hearty welcome back. Minimal explanations on the old pictures are fine.

I vaguely remember what I did on a current build let alone one so long ago. Great to see

you are back and I look forward to another scratch Syren. :)
