Model Shipways Syren by Captgino

Reviewed the documentation and plan. I have a few items to correct.
Bearding line missing on one side.

Small adjustments for the deck, some of the blocks are a bit too. high.

Sills and Lintels all over the place.

Stem was over sanded on one side or misaligned.

I am getting to take it apart and correct as much as possible these issues.

Removed the Stem. I will need to rebuild from scratch.

And of course, repairing the broken frame stems

I also remove the keel and rabbet strip since they were damaged during my attempt to add the bearding line.

Getting crafty to hold the ship reversed.

Worked on the Bearding line quite a bit last night to be able to meet with the 3/32 rabbet strip. The previous one was 1/8 so a lot to catch up to.

Dry fitting the new keel and the old stem

Stem needs to be redone from scratch. It was faired too much and unevenly.

The deconstruction continues on my Syren. I noticed a few issues with frame adjustments. Here is what my survey outlined.
The second and third frames from the stern were too high, resulting in a 1/16 gap between the top of the frame and the center 'spine'.

The solution was to remove them and the blocks surrounding them and push them down. I had a similar situation in the bow (see below). I was able to use a thin strip to provide a smooth transition across all frames for the deck planking.

Deconstruction madness in pictures.
:)

Since the frames were glued with white glue, I used Acetone to soften the glue and a few tools to remove them. Time for your shot!

Drama with frame 3. The doctor is busy. LOL.... Gluing and rehabilitation.

Dry fitting line with frames 2 and 3. MUCH BETTER !!!

Here is the final result.
