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 never see more complete instruction for a kit my only problem it is a Imperial kit and I am a metric guy but I will manage
I will build her stock without any add on
With the help of my partner (He we have to start them young)
First thing I did was inventory of the kit and identification of all the wood and tag each type.
Will not really start it now as I have to finish my Bireme and the Royal Louis and have to wait for a friend that will build his later this autumn.
