augie Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share #94 Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks to everyone. Flattery will get you everywhere . I've said it before though ---- if it weren't for the fine work exhibited by you guys and gals (and what I learn there), my ship would be a REAL mess, probably sitting in a corner behind a sponge mop.

fnkershner Posted February 24, 2013 Share #101 Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Augie - Could you or maybe Chuck estimate the size of the base of a display case for the Syren? I am going to be selling my full size Tablesaw as I prepare to down size. I thought i might cut some wooden bases before she goes.

augie Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share #102 Posted February 24, 2013 Floyd- She measures just about 32" from bowsprit tip to the end of the staysail boom that overhangs the stern and about 11 3/8" wide at the main yard. I like a little clearance so I'm going with 36x13 on the base (inner dimensions). Height, of course, will depend on your mounting setup. fnkershner 1 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...

augie Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share #104 Posted February 27, 2013 OK, we've played this tune before on the main mast but now we've moved forward! In spite of Sjors recent allegations, I did not 'forget' to rig the foremast. The upper foremast shrouds, shear strips/futtocks, cleats, sister blocks and catharpins are complete. Even better, the last of the ratlines have been tied. I am stuck as to which title to bestow upon myself........'King of the Clove Hitch' or Edward Tweezerhands. Anja can now return!!!! We shall now be moving on to the more sweeping aspects of the forward standing rigging. Looking forward to seeing the bowsprit once again fatih79, joshukr, hamilton and 6 others 9 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...

augie Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share #109 Posted February 27, 2013 Thanks Thomas, Ben and JP. Ben remembers my secret about the 'Better than Real Life' setting on my camera. Thinking about next project. Confederacy has always been tempting (no ratlines ). Fully rigged she would be immense. JP knows I like Rattlesnake but how could I ever top his? The there is the frontrunner ---- the new MS Essex. If she comes out with a rigging kit, depending on the dimensions, she might be the one. You see the first wooden ship I built back in the 70's was the old MS Essex, solid hull, I think 1/8 scale. She's the one I dropped down a flight of stairs during a move. Lousy aerodynamics!!!!!! So that might complete the 'circle of life' But we're MONTHS away yet and, with Spring coming, it could be Fall before a new keel hits the ways.
