Hi Denis, Nigel, Frank, Carl and Bob Many thanks for all your comments and everyone else who hit the Like button. Greatly appreciated. Bob. I'm planning to add all the masts and sails. Should look great, I hope! Cheers and all the best. Patrick -
Hi Cathead Really nice progress and she's looking great. No need to worry about the "skewed priorities". We'll still be here waiting eagerly for your next update once you're able to get back into things. All the best! Patrick

Hi Mark Nice progress! Cheers Patrick

Hi Jeff Life would be great if it wasn't for "work" getting in the way, wouldn't it? No rush with the ship, though. At least you'll have the modelling to look forward to, once things settle down. All the best! Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone A milestone has been reached! The deck has finally been glued down, which means that the interior is well and truly completed. So, the photos below show the hull with the deck glued down. I've also done a little bit more work on the skylights and assorted deck furniture, as well as the bowsprit. The cardboard templates on the deck will eventually be used to represent the partially planked deck planks. Still heaps of work to go, but fun, nonetheless! All the best Patrick

Hah! Thanks Carl.. I didn't even realise that I'd written it that way until I re-read it long after the post had been sent! But, looking back now, I'm having a good chuckle about it, too. All the best. Patrick

Hi Michael Wow! That's one hell of a beautiful and shapely hull, you've got there! Nice work. Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Like everyone else, I also agree that the lighting looks great. However, I'm still very much in the dark about what the trio of ships is. Maybe you could give a few more hints, or maybe not.....I'd hate to jinx it for you, too. Happy to wait until you're ready... Cheers Patrick

Hi SOS I agree with you about models needing the 'love' factor, and I can definitely see the love you've poured into your ship. She's coming along beautifully! Cheers Patrick

Hi Nils Nice work! You're really moving at a fast pace with the decking, that's for sure. I'm also glad to hear that the swelling of the glue joints shrank back once dried. Failure to do so would've been quite a setback for you, so I'm happy that it worked out well for you. Looking forward to the next update! Thanks Patrick

Hi Denis Many thanks and yes, I must admit that the Uncle Toby's muesli barcode was a stroke of genius. I never liked those muesli bars (sorry to all my fellow Aussies), but this time, I think they're going to be added to our grocery list from now on! Cheers and all the best. Patrick

Hi Denis I'm intrigued now, after reading your last paragraph above. Have you started building a new trio of models? If so, can you give us any hints??? Cheers Patrick

Hi Dave Good fortune, that's for sure! I also hope that you're well and truly on the mend, health-wise. All the best! Patrick

Hi Nigel Wow!!! The chequerboard floor of the balcony is seriously good! Talk about precision. Nice stuff. Cheers Patrick

Hi David and Carl Many thanks for your comments and Likes! David-Thanks. Symphony's interior has been a challenge, but fun at the same time. Carl-Funny you said that about the loo. I tried doing one of the toilet bowls, but It was so small, that it almost wasn't worth doing. Oh well, that's my excuse, anyway! Cheers and all the best Patrick

Hi Ioannis Nice work! You're really pushing ahead quickly with your cutter. At the rate you're going, it won't be long before you'll be able to set sail on her maiden voyage. The masts and sails look good, as is the Teflon ring to ensure the smooth travel of the boom from port to starboard. The plastic box to protect the receiver and batteries is also a great idea, I wish I had thought of that when I had my RC boats, but then again, it's all good in retrospect, isn't it. Looking forward to the next update. Cheers Patrick

Hi Neal I'm definitely hanging out for the next update, so pls bring it on! Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone and many thanks for your Likes and comments, all of which are greatly appreciated! Well, lately, I've been working mostly on finishing off the interior details, such as cushions on the settees, bedspreads, pillows, etc. They're all fiddly little bits, but important, nonetheless, as they 'finish' off the overall look of the fit-out. Once I'm satisfied that enough is enough, I'll glue the deck down (no turning back then!), so I'll have to be sure that I haven't missed anything. I hope you enjoy these photos. Cheers Patrick

Hi Ioannis Ahhh. Ok. Whichever way you made it, it looks great sitting on the deck. Cheers Patrick

Hi Piet Those cannons are marvellous. Nothing short of a miniature model; each in their own right. Nicely done! I'm looking forward to your next update. Cheers Patrick
