Hey Mark That makes two of us! Nicely done, Tony! Cheers Patrick -
Hi Bob, Carl and Frank. Thanks also to all those who hit the Like button! Much appreciated, as always. Bob-thanks for your compliments! Frank-nice to hear from you and hope you're on the mend! Carl-Thanks! The real ship has white masts, but wooden booms, which to my mind, look a bit odd, but they're a nice contrast, nonetheless. As for the rigging thread, I bought it from our local Spotlight shop (you may have a similar type of shop that sells, material, threads, buttons, etc). Hope this helps! All the best. Cheers Patrick

Hi Jesse Really fine details on the sails, which are nicely shaped. It won't be long now before you can place her permanently into the bottle. I'm looking forward to the next update. Cheers Patrick

Hi Vaddoc Really, really nice! Good to see you back, again, too, by the way, because I've been wondering how your ship was going. Cheers Patrick

Hi Tony Wow, wow and wow! What an impact the paint job has brought to the overall effect. You must be a pretty dab hand with the paintbrush, because the individual colours stand out cleanly and crisply from one another. No blurring of the colours, there. Overall, I'd have to say that my favourite shot would have to be the stern photo with the emblem. Nice stuff. Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone Thanks for your comments and likes! Greatly appreciated. Well, tonight I managed to do a bit more on the masts; e.g. some of the rigging attachment points and the two mizzen masted radar domes. I also attempted to fashion the roller furling gear on the bowsprit, although at this tiny scale, it just looks like nothing more than a cylindrical drum on the bowsprit. Oh well, it's the essence that I'm trying to capture, more than anything...well, that's my excuse anyway. I've also jury rigged the rigging (pardon the pun), so that the masts will stay relatively upright. Please excuse having taken the photos in our ensuite bathroom...it's the only room with a light bright enough that would enable the rigging to be seen!!!! Anyhow, pls enjoy these photos. Cheers Patrick

Nice work, Nenad! The new phone camera is also nice, as evidenced by the increased clarity of the photos. Cheers Patrick- 4,152 replies

Hi Igor Lovely work! It's the tiny details like the hinges and portholes on the doors that bring Lena to life for me. I'm looking forward to the next update. Cheers Patrick

Hi Nils Looking good. Can I ask where you got the really nifty stern decorations from? Or, did you make them? Deck's looking really nice, too, by the way! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Piet!!!

Hi Mike, Bob and everyone for their Likes Bob - thanks for your comment about the masts. I reckon she'd be great ship to sail upon, as well. Michael - I also agree that from some angles, the masts do seem really tall. But, I've triple checked their measurements... Gulp...if they're not right! Cheers and all the best Patrick

Hi everyone Another milestone was reached last night, with Symphony's two masts being stepped (roughly and temporarily, of course, at this early stage). The main boom has also been fashioned along with the spreaders on each mast. Heaps more work to do, though. ' Hope you enjoy these photos. Cheers Patrick

Hi Jesse She's coming along beautifully and those cannons look great. PS. Is that your Syren making a cameo appearance in the background? If so, nice! Cheers Patrick
