augie Posted February 23, 2013 Share #5 Posted February 23, 2013 Welcome home, Roger. I'm very happy you've decided to share what photos you have with us and to continue as you complete your beautiful build. I know she's being built from scratch but I forgot the exact scale? Thank you my friend.

yvesvidal Posted May 8, 2013 Share #15 Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Roger, Superb model. I assume it is done at the scale of 1/48th. Your workmanship is exceptional and the final result is stunning, although classic and museum like. Bravo!

augie Posted May 8, 2013 Share #16 Posted May 8, 2013 I cannot express the pleasure viewing your work brings to me. Without slighting anyone at all, your Syren is, for me, the benchmark. Hope all is well my friend.

Meredith Posted May 8, 2013 Share #17 Posted May 8, 2013 I am with Augie on this...my all time favourite Syren! I was hoping you would repost more photos - very inspirational. I really missed the old log. It really makes me want to re-start my Syren - although I am not very far along the build anyway. augie 1 Quote Current builds: MS Syren HM Suppy Dos Amigos Completed: Schooner for Port Jackson MS 18th Century Longboat Bounty Launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD11pilot Posted May 8, 2013 Share #19 Posted May 8, 2013 I was not a member during MSW version 1.0 so I never had the pleasure of your build log.

rtropp Posted September 12, 2013 Share #20 Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Roger, beautiful work. I am wondering what woods you used for the various parts, i.e., frame, various planks, deck and other parts. Do you have a list you can share? Thanks Richard T Quote RichardMember: The Nautical Research Guild Atlanta Model Shipwrights Current build: Syren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Van Es Posted September 12, 2013 Share #21 Posted September 12, 2013 Roger, I received my Syren kit just before going on vacation with my wife to Hawaii. While there I found this website. I ended up researching all the 1.0 Syren builds along with many others in the 8 hrs a day that I spent waiting for her to get ready. Yours was one of the ones that inspired me to really get involved in this hobby. I am so glad to see you repost your photos. Your build will inspire a bunch more guys I'm sure. augie 1 Quote Current build: US Brig Syren (MS) Larry Van Es Former President Ship Modelers Association Fullerton California http://www.shipmodelersassociation.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
