Syren (1803) US Brig - 1/64 - Model Shipways - by Cpl Smith

[Digger]

I learned rods, poles, perches, chains, furlongs as a kid. Looking back, it was so difficult yet I still recall that there are 108 lbs in a cwt. Even the abbreviations made little sense. I like the metric system even if it is French, but I still drink pints of beer even when filled from 440ml tins and I calculate my car’s mileage in miles per litre.


That’s five sevenths by six sevenths of a Macedonian Cubit or in 1:64 scale 4,000,000 x 4,760,000 beard/seconds. True dat!



I bet the instructions and design will be better and the materials worse.

It seems that some of that early learning has gone astray. Surely a cwt contains 112 lbs.

Irony. Wasted.

Keep the figure head for sure Mr. GNOSTIC. She has potential!

That wouldn’t have been my choice for the last photo in my thread.

I note the hairy basswood or is it dusty
