US Brig Syren by Augie - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64


Recommended Posts

I don't have a copy of the cartoon, but you Farside aficionados will no doubt remember my all time favourite: the "Midvale School for the Gifted".

Popeye - That cartoon reminds me of something I heard in the news today. Some lady in England found an unexploded bomb in her yard from WWII. Do you know what she did before she called the authorities? She washed in in the kitchen sink. She was quoted to say "It was quite dirty". LOL

 

So when my admiral feels the need to clean something when there are other more important things to do. I ask her if she is washing the bomb. She gets mad but she gets the point. :D

Hi Augie,

 

Splendid rigging work there, Sir, looks like your spiders have been really busy these past few days B)

 

I've been catching up and reading the past few chapters of your log and enjoyed every bit of it, all those "The Far Side" clips are absolute fun, hope you won't mind me injecting my favorite   :)

The topgallant yards have been sent aloft and the rigging completed (with the exception of the braces)

Doesn't look like a whole lot but I'm very happy it's proceeding well in spite of summers' diversions. 

 

I'd never realized before just how many lines there really are.  And, for the first time, I actually realize what they DO!  And things are getting tight !!!!

 

The t'gallant braces are next followed by raising the royal yards.  All is on hold until I get my order of additional rigging line from ME.  My screw ups and do-overs have finally come home to roost and I find myself line-less ;).  That's ok......there are a few fish to be caught and I need to find the ladder prior to the next photo-op.

 

You all stay well :cheers:

You don't want to find yourself "line-less" with the fish. :P

Seriously though, she really is taking on a majestic look...beautifully done!

Hi Augie,

 

 

 

 

 

Just stopped by to catch up on the humor and your fine work. That is a great job

on the rigging. You are making a complex task look easy.

 

You are getting close to that happy sad moment when you sit back and say

“yeah it’s done” and then realize you will miss her. B) 

 

Well done! :)

Hi Augie - I don't know what you mean by "doesn't look like a whole lot" - looking at your Syren, this phrase literally makes no sense! It looks like a whole lot to me!

This place is really jumping!!  Thanks to all who stopped by and commented.  Your encouragement keeps me going.

 

Think I'll sleep on the word 'majestic' for one night.  Sure beats the usual  thoughts of 'how am I supposed to reach that #$%&*# belaying pin'?  :D

Augie,

 

Looking really really special.  The word "majestic" fits very well. Hope the fishing is good while you're waiting for your line.

Am I the last one again?????

That lovely work from me keep me away from your log…..

Your spiders are doing a very fine job Augie.

Can I ask for a picture of the hole vessel?

What i can see is really great.

I think I need lessons from you !

And now of you go to the river or sea or leg or I don't know where you catch that fish, but just GO !

If it is a big one, picture please  :D  :D  :D

You folks are really too nice.  I know you're all going to get tougher on the next one......but then so will I :) .

 

Just keep in mind that it is your logs, your hiccups and your triumphs that urge me on.  So I guess it's really hats of to MSW!!!!!!!

 

Sjors---  the whole ship no longer fits in my little camera unless I stand on the hill across the road (elevation 4,000 meters).  I'll see what I can do once I get the next 40 meters of line rigged  :D  :D  

 

Off to the hills!!!!!
