bdgiantman2 got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Holiday Harbor by popeye the sailor - 1:20 scale - multi build
I like how you made the staircase myself. May have to try your technique on my models. Keep up the great work, Dennis!

She is looking more and more like the real yacht. Great job, Patrick! Admirable work and detailing.

Looking great there, Captain Patrick! Your ship is looking splendid and very accurate. Many of the large motoryachts (many boats over 90 feet in length, for sure anything over 110 feet long) would have a special area for an engineer to monitor and operate the machinery, as well as do the necessary maintenance as you have prepared for. The boatyard is humming along very nicely, she will be sailing in no time.

I am curious to know how different a Pinnace is from the Long Boat? The two look extremely alike without a trained eye.

Found this build very late, but very impressive work. Your ship has clean lines, I personally admire ketches a lot. Should add this model to my future build list. Keep up the great construction.

Your yacht is getting more and more realistic and pretty. Looks great, wish was able to go on the real boat.

Hi folks!
Well, I've done a bit more work on the decks, such as laying the individual wooden deck planks (where appropriate, that is). I've also begun to do the preliminary fit out of the Bridge Deck, which houses the Bridge, as well as a large seating/dining area, toilet and washroom for the guests, etc.
I'm being a bit naughty, I must admit, because I'm jumping all over the place with the building sequence. I mean, I haven't really completed one single area of the build at all. In fact, I start a bit here, then I jump over there to do something else, etc. I really need to settle down and start sanding and cleaning the external areas up first, followed by painting, etc before I start on the internal fit out, but hey, I'm the boss, so I can do anything I want, right??? Heh heh.
Oh well, here are the latest photos, so far.
Cheers and all the best!

Hi everyone and many thanks for all of your comments and well wishes for the New Year! Greatly appreciated.
I've done some more work on the major components of the superstructure; paying particular attention to how they can be removed easily for viewing.
Here are the latest progress shots.
Cheers

Hi everyone
By jove, I think I'm getting the hang of this superstructure riddle! Slowly, by slowly, it's starting to come together. It's been a long haul, but at least I'm getting there. Still a bucket load of work to go, though.
My son took the following photos; hence why they're better than anything I could do.
Have a great New Year and thanks to all who commented and hit the Like button!

Hi everyone and best wishes for Christmas and New Year!!!
I've not been able to do much lately. However last night, I managed to do a bit more work on the mock up of the superstructure. This time, I used the actual shapes of the superstructure to get a better approximation of what she'll look like, as well as helping me to work things out better.
Still lots of fun, to go.
The photos below show a bit more of the beauty of the shape beginning to shine through. Also,for those of you who are watch lovers, the watch is a Ball HydroCarbon DeepQuest; a professional divers watch made out of a solid block of Titanium and rated to a depth of 10 000 feet (3000 metres)! Oh, by the way, for those in the US, 'Ball' is an American owned company, who build their watches in Switzerland.
All the best!
Patrick

No, not the Yacht Mary. The boat I was suggested to wait on was the stretched Grand Banks idea I was mentioning on the last page. I have definitely learned a lot about model ship building and know plenty more to learn.

Actually some time ago I started it, but was told to put on hold for a while because of lack of experience as that had been my first real try at a scale wooden model that was not a solid hull.
My idea is based off of the Grand Banks 49 Classic, then doubled her size. Would be in 1:48 scale, so would be large enough to see a lot of details inside. This is a plan completely from scratch that I drew up myself. Yes, I guess you can say I feeling bold and frisky

You're welcome, Patrick. I would suggest personally having a clear Polystyrene under each deck to hold it up completely level, and have pillars of some kind supporting the section furthest out from the hull.
I am actually considering doing something similar to what you are planning to do for this model for a future project of mine, but mine would be a much larger scale and plan to not have any of the decking in place on this model but would have the planked superstructure and hull to see how she would look like, but allow for interior looks as well.
Keep up your great work, you are doing a splendid job sir.
