Royal William by luc - scale 1:72 - RADIO
Omega1234 replied to luc's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Hi Luc Nice progress so far! The hull's really taking shape now and there's no doubting the beauty of these types of hulls. Well done and all the best! Cheers Patrick -
Hi Nils Love that hull. I can definitely see why she was so fast. A beautiful, streamlined hull like this one would just knife through the water! I'm looking forward to seeing her come off the building board. Nice! Cheers Patrick

Hi Mobbsie Many thanks for clarifying that for me. I've got my chair and pop corn ready to follow along. Cheers and thanks. Patrick

Hi Mobbsie After re-reading your first post, I was just wondering if this model was built by you, or whether it was built by someone else who donated it to your museum? Sorry for what may seem like silly questions, but I'm just curious. Looking forward to your next update. Cheers and all the best! Patrick

Thanks for your compliments, Christian and also, a big note of thanks for joining my build log! All the best. Patrick

Thanks for the compliment, Marty. Greatly appreciated. I'm in the same boat as you, because I'm learning heaps from everyone here! I guess that's what makes this such a great Forum.

Hi Frank, Pete, Bob and Nils and everyone who hit the Like button. Frank- the timber is Queensland Wattyl, an Aussie timber veneer (.6 mm thick). It's a beautiful timber which sands and cuts easily. But, you're right, even with an unplanked deck, the deck beams still restrict the viewing somewhat, but I don't think there's any alternative, unless I don't put any deck on her at all. Bob- you're right about the saloon, because it'd be a great place to sit and relax with a wine. Nils- thanks! I'll have to take your word about the First Class of a 747 Jumbo....the best I've ever done is to fly Business Class once and that was great. I don't think First Class would ever be achievable due to my bank balance not being healthy enough!!! Pete- thanks for your comment which is greatly appreciated! Cheers Patrick

Hi Dennis, Nils and everyone who hit the Like button. Greatly appreciated. Just a quick update on the main saloon. On the starboard side, the curved settee has a double shelved book shelf on the bulkhead. On the port side, I started on the fireplace unit. Here are the results so far. Heaps more work to go, still. Cheers and all the best! Patrick

Hi Cathead My gut feeling says to go with the second option because that would seem to be the most logical and also places the least amount of strain on each plank as you're bending it. It could also minimise the risk of straining the hull which could result in warping the hull. But...then again, that's just my opinion. There's bound to be other views out there. Hope this helps. Cheers and all the best Patrick

Hi SOS You say "slow progress". But, I say "any progress is good progress!" She's looking fine and I can see that she's starting to take shape now. Nice job! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Dennis It goes without saying that your Titanic's looking damn fine, however, I never really gave it much thought (why, I don't know), but your close-up photography is just brilliant! It's a joy to squizz at your photos. That must be another one of your multiple strengths? Cheers and all the best! Patrick

Hi Dave That's a really smart technique you're using there. A little bit of ingenuity has really paid off, big time, because those planks look really spiffy. Nice job! Cheers Patrick

Hi Mobbsie I'm really sorry to hear about your ship's misfortune. But, like you said, the best thing you can do is to restore her to her former glory, but with the benefits of your greater experience and techniques. She's gonna look brilliant when you're finished. I'm looking forward to following along! Cheers Patrick

Hi Frank Although it might have been a bit of a rework, the results are worth it at the end of the day. Well done! Cheers Patrick

Hi Vaddoc Sorry for the late reply. I've been thinking about how to display your boat. This might sound a bit naff, but how about replicating the shipyard's workshop in which the American boat was built? I've pasted your original photo below for a bit of inspiration. You know...the boat resting in a cradle, planks of wood leaning against the walls, tools strewn about, wood off-cuts in the bottom of the hull, a few cans of paint lying about, etc, etc. Just a thought to get the imagination going! Whatever you choose, I'm sure it's gonna look terrific. Cheers Patrick

Nice job on the ship's boat!

Hi Pete Nice job so far, as always! Will you be starting a separate log for the sailing version? Cheers Patrick
-
Hi a Frank Marvellous job on those Kevels. I have to agree with Brian, though, they're easy to overlook, but still add a tremendous amount to the overall effect of the model. Nice! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Ben and Frank Greatly appreciated and thanks to all who hit the Like button! Frank - thanks and I wish that were true, but we can all learn from each other, so I'm happy with that. Ben...'doll boat'..okay, I'll take that! Nothing wrong with that as far as I can see. Cheers Patrick
