Sorry to hear about your Mum, Mehmet. Pls accept my sincere condolences to your and your family. Your model looks great so far and will be a wonderful tribute to your mother. Cheers Patrick -
Hey Vaddoc Re: Your last paragraph about the painting of your beautifully planked hull. Well...our Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison has been alerted and he has scheduled an urgent meeting with your PM to discuss the issue. At this stage, it is hoped that diplomatic action will be enough to avert the heinous action that you intend committing. Should you still continue to pursue the painting of such a beautifully planked hull, I understand that economic sanctions may be invoked as the ‘last resort option’. Oh...who am I kidding, if that’s your wife’s desire, then so be it. It’ll still be one heck of a model no matter what you choose to do!!! Hehehe All the best! Cheers Patrick

Thanks and welcome aboard! I just scrounge around the Net using Mega Yacht Deck Plans as the search criteria. It’s always lots of fun! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Casi!!

HI folks Allow me to introduce you to my latest miniature mega-yacht model, “Splendid” (1:500). Splendid is based upon an actual mega-yacht named Nirvana https://www.yachtcharterfleet.com/luxury-charter-yacht-25086/nirvana-layout.htm and as is customary with all of my models, I will attempt to include as much internal detail as I can; with all of the decks made removable in order to view the interior. The following photos show that the general layout of the superstructure has been mocked up in order to give me an idea of how everything will fit together. It’s all still very rough and there’s lots of work to go. I hope that you can continue to join me on Splendid’s construction journey. Thanks Patrick

Hi Josh Lovely job and a great gift for your father! Cheers Patrick

Hi Vaddoc Just catching up. Geez...for crying out loud!!! How the hell you’re able to build these technically accurate, beautifully constructed models woven together with a touch of magic and oodles of skill, is nothing short of amazing. And...this model is no exception, as witnessed by the perfect planking and framing. Nice job! Cheers Patrick

Hi Gary How are you? Thanks for your comments. It’s great to be back. I haven’t really worked out the scale, but I would think something like 1:350’ish, or something along those lines, I would hope. Thanks again!! Cheers Patrick.

Hi Keith Thanks for your message and yes, I fully agree that this design is most certainly not to everyone’s taste. It is quite polarising and ‘challenging’ to the senses, shall we say? But, I guess even the ugly duckings need someone to like them; which is why I chose to model these types of designs. These modern designs are also a lot more complex to build as they’re so unusual. As for this boat, the spiral staircase really did my head in. You’d think it would be easy, but the fact that it went up multiple decks, meant that I had to get the exact number of steps per deck and in the right spiralled direction....not was easy for an old bugger like me! Heheheh. Many thanks, once again. Cheers Patrick

Thanks Pat. Hopefully all of the nasty technical gremlins I’ve been having with MSW have disappeared. The problem has been that for some reason, my IPAd a nd laptop take ages (meaning many minutes) just to load up one page on MSW. This has meant that even opening up a build log to comment and give a Like has been interminably long. So much so, that I gave up and lost interest. However, I’ve got a new IPad now and things seem to be far quicker. Let’s hope so!!! Enjoy your weekend. Cheers Patrick

Hi Folks! I just thought I’d share my latest miniature model called “Majestic”. My model is based upon an actual boat design known as the Wider 150 (https://boutiqueboats.com.au/vessel/wider-150/). After a long break from building, I’ve recently managed to get back into working on this model. Whilst most of the work lately has concentrated on sanding and painting the hull, as well as adding more interior details such as the bathrooms, pillows on beds and pot plants scattered throughout various parts of the accommodation, I acknowledge that most of it is too small to see and appreciate. What can easily be seen, though, is that I’ve added the ‘water’ to the aft wet dock into which the ship’s tender is moored when underway. I hope you like where things are at so far! Cheers Patrick

Hi Josh! She looks perfectly fine to me. I fact, I reckon anyone who has the guts to do SIBs deserves a medal, particularly when it comes to figuring out all of the riggings lines. I don't think I could even try! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Vaddoc. Well...we have a saying here in Australia - “frigging hell”. That, my friend, is an apt description of my reaction as I looked through your photos of the completed model. What an achievement; something that you should be justifiably proud of; especially as you’ve managed to make the rigging work. A triumph of craftsmanship! Cheers Patrick

Hi Peter Emma looks like like a really nice design, full of charm and character. I can’t wait to see her sailing! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Vaddoc Count me in! I’m also looking forward to following along. Cheers Patrick
-
Many thanks, Mark! It’s certainly nice to be able to get back onto MSW. For some unknown reason, MSW would take ages and ages to load on my iPad...and even when it did load, it’d invariably freeze. Needless to say, I got very frustrated and thus, my absence on MSW is explained. Thanks also, for your compliments on Sapphire. They’re gratefully appreciated! Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Vaddoc! Yep. That two decked engine room is a bit of a head-spinner! Thanks for looking in. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi folks! Well...despite a lot of technical issues with trying to use MSW, I’m just going to bite the bullet and post this long overdue update of Sapphire. For all intents and purposes, she’s just about 95% finished. The addition of a display board, plus a few minor bits and pieces, will see her fully completed. I hope you enjoy these photos! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Keith. As for “being confined to barracks going on for a while yet’, sadly I think you’re right. Who knows when this dreadful mess is going to end. I’m certainly missing being able to hug my son and daughter (and their respective spouses). I just guess we have to do what we have to do. Cheers Patrick

Hi Pat Yep. I really like that and...as I can attest too, Mark is absolutely right about zoom and macro shots. The small details can be quite confronting when viewed, but, as you’ve said, you can’t really see the close-up details from a normal distance, so all’s good. Cheers Patrick- 973 replies

Hi folks. A quick update on the ‘illegal party‘ that’s been going on in Sapphire over the past week. Much to the owner’s consternation, the Construction Boss has invited even more of his mates on board. Have a look!!! Disclaimer: no teeny tiny people were harmed during this photo shoot😏😏😏! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Mark. Yep, the party’s started early...I don’t think they were adhering to the new social-distancing rules, though! Have a great week. Cheers Patrick
