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


Recommended Posts

That spider is obviously of the genus "Augius Nimbulus" - widely known as your common Rigging Spider, and dressed with protective hard hat ready for going aloft.

 

As for the frog................perhaps used as bait while Moose fishing?

Actually, I thought the frog was doing a Gene Kelly imitation of 'Singin' in the Rain'.

Popeye, you're a hoot!

 

The reason for my slight delay is a 'salvage' project on my AT-6 Texan as the result of planting her 2 feet deep into the ground (at 85 mph) during a 'senior moment'.  This is why I enjoy being a model shipwright -----  model ships rarely get torpedoed......although I have managed some small bench top deconstruction on this very build  :D  :D

pardon me if I don't hit the like button.........nothing pleasing about that!   that's not the one you showed me is it?  was that the last flight for it?  you have my condolences........as she goes to that great hanger in the sky :(   I understand for the grieving time.

 

I've been slow......haven't done anything to the spitfire.  I gotta get a move on........the summer's almost over ;)

"Salvage" and not "rebuild"... sounds bad Augie.   My condolences.  After crashing every control line bird I ever built, I gave up.  Didn't want to think about RC and receivers, solenoids, etc. hitting the ground.

At long last, the anchors are aboard.  Someone asked how to get the tackles in there as there appears to be very little space.  The only answer is to play with the forward leaning angle of the anchors to make just enough space for the tackles.  Here's how they came out:

Now, as I'm not going to add any flags, I added the flag halliards and that leaves...........    nothing !!!!!!!!!!

 

So tomorrow, I intend to do the photo shoot and make the formal announcement of completion :rolleyes: 

 

ALL ARE INVITED TO ATTEND

Augie,

 

Again a fabulous job on the anchors…...

I have the champagne bottle ready for you…….

It takes to long before it is sunday…..

And when it is sunday for me, I have to wait the whole day before I see anything  :(

Because your sunday starts later……..

Can we not change it for only one time?

If my sunday is there, yours also?  :D  :D  :D  :D

Absolutely beautiful Augie.

 

Oh...and as for the frog...my preacher always says (during the monsoons of coastal South Carolina) that "it was raining so hard he saw two bullfrogs fightin' over an umbrella."  I had no idea the saying was based on fact. ;)

did you feel it..........the feeling I described?    when the last piece was finally set in place........did you give thought that this will be the last time you'll lay a finger on this build.  ........bet you touched the hull a couple time, just to prove to your senses that this was real........all of your efforts,  made flesh.   it's a mixture of happiness and emptyness.......all rolled into one confusing ball.......it washes over you,  draining to your feet.  there's only one remedy for it,  my friend........you know what you must do.......... :ph34r:

 

now that I've scared you with my B.S.     you have a beautiful build  Augie.......a tribute to your talent!  the anchors are the crowning touch that finishes your Syren build to the nine!  you only made it to 91............but then again,  there's the  'after party'....that should carry you,  at the very least,  to 101!  congrats my friend,  she's a beauty !!! ;)
