Hi folks I was feeling a bit nostalgic tonight, so I dragged Genesis’ sisters from the fleet for a quick and nasty photo-shoot. Here goes.. Thanks Patrick

Binker by Omega1234 - FINISHED
Omega1234 replied to Omega1234's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1901 - Present Day
Thanks for editing the title of this build log, Chris Coyle. I thought I had posted these photos on the Scratch Built Gallery, but it must’ve gone in as a build log instead, accidentally. -
Hi folks. This is my miniature scratch-built model of the wooden sailing yacht, Binker. As is customary with my models, Binker is fully detailed inside, hence the partially planked deck. I hope you enjoy looking at these photos. Thanks Patrick

I reckon you’re right, Josh. The new sails do look better. Cheers Patrick

Hi Frank Top job on furling the mainsail. Nice and neat, as is typical of all of your work. Thanks Patrick
-
Hi John Thanks for your comments, especially about the scrap piece of wood! All jokes aside, that’s one of the things that’s always amazed me about our hobby. We start with just raw materials, but end up with something very different. A thing of beauty, of character and in most cases, soul...much like your wonderful Maori canoe model. Thanks again and have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis I’m just catching up and wow, there’ve been some ups and downs from what I can see, but, boy, you pulled it off beautifully. Impressive, to say the least! Cheers Patrick

Hi Josh That’s a pretty nifty mast-hinge idea you’ve got going on there. All in all, it looks like you’re going full steam ahead. Nicely done. Cheers Patrick

Hi Keith That’s gotta take the ‘Comment of the Year’ Award!! Loved it. Put a smile on my face; that’s for sure. Cheers. Patrick

Hi folks! Thanks for all of your Likes and comments. A quick update for you on Genesis. Last night, I painted the first coat of matt red paint below the waterline. The painting of the rest of the hull and superstructure is still progressing, but will require several more applications of wet and dry sandpaper and paint, before I’m satisfied with it. Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Mehmet Well...my first reaction on seeing the pump was, ‘now that’s rusty!’ But, if you think it’s in keeping with the overall look and feel that you’re trying to achieve, then it looks appropriate. Cheers. Patrick

Hi Josh I’m in. I’m not quite sure, (or should I say, totally bamboozled), how the devil you’re going to hinge and raise those masts once the boat’s in the bottle, but, I’m sure as hell going to stick around to find out! Cheers. Patrick

Hi Marcus All of a sudden, she’s looking pretty grown up, with her masts and blocks, etc. Now the fun part really starts. Happy rigging. Cheers. Patrick

Hi Marcus. Many thanks. Yep, I gotta agt7with you - those sensuous curves, are certainly a standout feature of this design. Hi Dave. Great to hear from you again! The launch and festivities aren’t too far away; that is, as long as there aren’t any major boo boos along the way....

Go with your 'gut feeling', Ben. That's usually the best solution.

Hey Ben I love that POV shot! It doesn’t take a great stretch of the imagination to see oneself walking through the interior admiring your handiwork! Nice job. Cheers. Patrick

Hi Phil - thanks for the compliments. Much appreciated. Hi Josh - Thanks. The champagne’s on ice, pending a few more details like the engine room and lower deck that needs completion. Once they’re done...whoohoo! Champers time😊 Hi Michael - Thanks heaps for the compliments. I must admit that even I look at the hull sometimes and I still can’t quite believe that I did it. Talk about a ‘challenge’...definitely not for the faint hearted, that’s for sure. Hi Pat - Thanks for your compliments! Don’t worry...my maintenance shop would be happy to accommodate you😊.
-
Funny you say that, Keith! I was just thinking the same thing. Great minds think alike😊 Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Piet! She should go even faster once the red racing stripes go on😆! Thanks Patrick

Hi Josh I always hold my breath when I hear that a SIB is being placed in the bottle. A million things can/could go wrong, but despite that, it’s always an amazing achievement once it’s done. Congratulations. Annie looks great. Cheers. Patrick
