Looks great, Patrick.  Like a shiny new toy.

Thanks Frank!

Hi folks

Thanks for all of your Likes and comments!

I’ve put a halt to all building works in order to concentrate on the painting of the hull and superstructure.  I’ve opted for full gloss paints for the hull and superstructure; which, I feel is entirely appropriate, especially given that the full-sized boat is full gloss (well, that’s my excuse, anyway).

Now, without further ado, can someone pls tell Luke Skywalker that his spaceship is almost ready to be picked up from the maintenance shop?

I hope you enjoy these photos.

Thanks

Patrick

My condolences, as well, Pat.

Like yourself and many others, I too, have loved Karl’s work and books.

Karl will be missed.

Patrick

Hi Josh

All of a sudden, Annie’s looking oh, so grown up with her masts and sails. 

Nice!

Cheers.

Patrick 

Hi Jos

I love that last photo because it shows just how tiny your ship is.

Great job, so far.

Cheers. 

Patrick

Hi Frank

It’s great that you’re back on deck and able to get some work done on Kathryn. 

Superb work, as always.

All the best.

Cheers

Patrick

Woohoo!  Another milestone reached, Keith.

Hi Marcus

I’m loving the colours and overall look and feel of this boat of yours.  I’m not quite sure what it is about this particular design of boat, but I reckon it looks pretty darn special.  Lots of charm and loads of character; all of which you’re capturing really well.

You’re definitely on a winner, there.

Pls keep the updates coming.

Cheers

Patrick

Suitably gobsmacked, Pat.  That’s mighty fine work!

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Keith

Your prop - now, that’s an absolutely magnificent piece of metal workmanship.  It definitely sets the standard for the rest of the build.

I’m glad That you’re able to start making sawdust now, too.

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Josh

Great job on the hull and decking so far.  I reckon she’s going to shape up to be a little beauty.

Good luck with the rest of the build.  I’ll be watching and enjoying the journey.

Cheers

Hi folks.

Just a quick update on the progress of Genesis’ RIB tender. Almost finished, apart from some finessing and sanding.

I hope you enjoy the following photos.

Thanks

Patrick,

Catching up. You continue to amaze us with your skill at a scale we mortals can hardly imagine. Do please show the electronics, servos and motor you intend to install (this is an RC build isn’t it?). Inquiring minds want to know. HA!

 

Excellent work.

 

Dave B

Hi Dave

Ahem....cough cough....all the electronics are a closely guarded secret...cough...

Have a great weekend! 

Cheers.

Thanks Keith

Have a great weekend.

Hi folks

Thanks for all of your Likes and comments. Appreciated, as always.

I decided to have a go at doing Genesis’ RIB tender.  The photos are pretty self-explanatory, but suffice to say, there’s a fair way to go, before I can call this tender ‘finished’.  It’s a start, though.

Have a great night.

Cheers.

How big fingers You have !?!?! 😆

Fantastic micro works !!!

Hi Leo

Great to hear from you again!  I’ve missed the updates on your miniature models.

I hope you’re going well. 

Cheers. 

Patrick

Hey Steve

What a top job you’ve done on the John Cudahy.  It was unfortunate about snipping the wrong wire, but, you got over that pretty easily by the looks of it.

You’re on the home stretch now.  Not long to go.

Cheers

By holding the 4 chairs with your fingers, one can truly see how small and detailed everything is. 

Excellent craftsmanship 

Marcus 

Many thanks Marcus.  

Yep, tiny for sure!  So tiny, that I lost three previous chairs to the carpet monster earlier that night.  Hungry little beast, that carpet monster😉😉😉

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Pat
