Hi Mobbsie and Frank Many thanks. The interior is based on an actual yacht named Signe, however, as I was never able to find the actual hull drawings, I made up my own hull, instead. So, it's a bit of a hybrid version of the real yacht, Signe, (ie my hull, but with Signe's interior). As a consequence, because it wasn't strictly the real Signe, I decided to rename the model to Symphony. I hope I'm making sense. Anyway, here's what I'm using: PS: Frank- your "Symphony" that you've posted, would, indeed, keep me off the streets. She'd be a whole lotta fun, for sure! Cheers Patrick

Hi Frank Well, like they say, it wouldn't be worth it, if it was easy to make! Nice job. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Frank She's looking better and better all the time. I'm really impressed with how good your mast top looks - a complex structure which you've made to look very simple. Nicely done! Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone Many thanks for all of your Likes and comments. All greatly appreciated. I've started on the galley and the forward bulkhead which leads to a small shower, toilet and fold down bunks for the crew (all of which are yet to be built once the galley is finished). Anyhow, there's still lots of work to be done on the galley, but it's a start at least. I hope you enjoy the photos. Cheers Patrick

Hi Dan Your hull's looking mighty fine! Very nicely done. Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor Nice! Looks like it's full steam ahead, now that your bottle's sorted. Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor Nice job on the cabin and deck. Have you got your new bottle sorted? Cheers Patrick

Hi Hobbie That's great. I've just responded to your private email. Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben That's a great solution and although time consuming, (as you've said), it'll be worthwhile at the end of the day. Cheers Patrick

Hi Hobbie I have the Anatomy of the Ship plans for Victory which I bought directly from John McKay. If you're interested, I'll see if I can find them and we can work something out. Pls PM me, if you wish. Cheers Patrick

Hi Anthony Absolutely marvellous!!! From the quality of the workmanship, through to the level of detail, etc, all add up to a seriously impressive model. Well done. Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben Sorry to hear about the problem with the epoxy and varnish. Do you have an easy solution to get around the problem? It'd be a shame to paint the hull, if you could avoid it. Cheers Patric?

Hi Nils Your rudder is beautiful and so too, is the lovely work in shaping the stern and planking around the propshafts. Now, they wouldn't have been easy to do! All the best Patrick

Hi Mobbsie Many thanks for your compliments! Greatly appreciated. I agree with your comments about the visibility of the interior. The best I can come up with is an open deck (ie unplanked deck and cabin roof). At least that way, some of the interior can be seen from above, not to mention through the large cutouts in the hull as well. It's always a balancing act between what can be seen and not seen at this scale. Have a great weekend! Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of your comments and Likes. Greatly appreciated. Tonight, I managed to do a bit more on one of the double cabins. It may not look like much at the moment, but it's a start. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these photos. Cheers and thanks Patrick

Hi Dennis The funnel's came out beautifully and the airbrush certainly worked a treat. I also liked your new words 'goesinta, goesonta, goesova"....I'll definitely remember those ones! Cheers and all the best! Patrick

Hi Nils The method you've come up for the portholes is ingenious. I would never have thought of using the nylon trimmer line for glass! Works nicely, that's for sure. Cheers Patrick
