syren

Introduction Good day to you all! Today I broke the seals on this box of delights. It’s been in a cupboard for a couple of years but recently was moved onto a vacant bookshelf, just to fill the space left by a cull of my library (40% dumped. Yay!). Of course, once it was in plain sight, it...

I've been working on the Syren since Christmas 2020 when my daughter gave me the kit as a present. Worked on it steadily until I thought I could make 2 model simultaneously. I found this hard to balance both so I decided to concentrate on Syren until finished. I think I should post a couple of...

I started building the Model Shipways Syren last year. I knew, because of other commitments, it would be very slow progress for me. Since joining SOS I have read through many logs, threads and posts. The knowledge of members, incredible model builds and workmanship on this site make it kind of...

Hello to everyone. Today’s review will be from Model Shipways “Syren US Brig”. Super rainy day here in Miami but I managed to get to the store and prep. my little shoot box/table.

Welcome fellow builders, to my first build log. This is my first very first wooden model and build log, so I suspect updates to happen frequently, but with little progress in between. I want to do this beautiful kit justice by building it to perfection (in my eyes). Maybe a bit more than I can...

Hi all, I was given an already started model of the Syren from Model Shipways. A very nice gift but I needed to do a lot of repairs and adjustments. I will be documenting my efforts on YouTube as well.

Hi guys, This is my first post. Few years ago I bought Chuck Passaro's kit Cutter Cheerful 1806, for the sole purpose of learning how to "properly" plank ship's hull. Anyways, hull has been planked, so here are few pictures.

I started Syren about two years ago and I didn't know about this wonderful website when I started. My last cellphone, loaded with all my Syren pics from the laying of the keel up to recent, bit the big one. All those pictures were lost. Well anyway here are a gaggle of pics in no particular...

US Brig Syren 1803 Model Shipways MS 2260 The US brig Syren was a 240 ton Brig build in 1803 in Philadelphia and was capture during the war on 1812-1814 by the British. I was following the build of the prototype by Chuck Passaro and as soon as the kit was available got it in 2008 I think I have...
