mtaylor Posted August 23, 2013 Share #1622 Posted August 23, 2013 Well, that blows the idea of the whole bunch of us sitting by the mailbox and grinning when the mailman showed up... I'll be sitting here on the edge of my seat (well, I will when I get home from work) waiting to see her in her glory.

augie Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share #1637 Posted August 23, 2013 SUCCESS ! The case has been completed. Amazingly, everything fit :D . Frankly, I can't believe it. In addition, Syren exhibited her maneuverability (and sheer tenacity) in negotiating the perilous voyage from basement to home port. The predictable 'I think it should be going the other way' battle was encountered and victory seized from the jaws of defeat. Callie, the ships' cat, now has free run of the workshop once again with all rigging now under glass. On the glass, I was looking for non-reflective but couldn't find it locally. Still, she looks great. And, although ME specifies 1/8" glass for the case, I went with 3/32 which is plenty strong, lighter and actually fits perfectly in the pre-cut slots (after some final sanding). I'd estimate the total weight in the neighborhood of 20 pounds. As advertised, the fit in the cabinet space is tight. About 20 pages ago, I penned a list of thank you's and overall impressions about the project. It's been a happy time for me and, I hope, for those who followed along. I could not, would not, have finished without your encouragement. Thanks to each and every one of you out there on MSW. So now, in a (very) few days, we shall begin on Confederacy. Her shipping crate has yet to be opened. I'm hoping I can do her justice. And with that, we shall now secure this thread. mtaylor, popeye the sailor, fnkershner and 20 others 23 Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
