Hi Mark, Bob and Carl Thanks for your feedback and comments. Mark, I will definitely keep the Admiral's in the dark. But, somehow, i wouldn't trust myself to build a full sized one. I don't think I could afford the super glue! Carl - funny you say that, because I was just reflecting on the fact that there really isn't a hell of a lot of difference between model boats and doll houses. Same skills, similar techniques, just different subject matter. Who knows, maybe I might try branching out one day and trying something new. Thanks and all the best! Cheers Patrick -
Hi Jon Looks like full-steam ahead and I can't wait until she hits the water under sail. Looking forward to the next update. Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben How does the saying go ..."S..t happens"!!!! Honestly, I think I can recount an interminable amount of times I've made similar errors only to feel a bit sheepish afterwards! No dramas, though. It's the end result that counts and your ship's looking brilliant. Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor Very,very nice! Heaps of character and charm. I especially like the color of the sea, which is somehow reminiscent of a calm Mediterranean sea (turquoise/bluey green). Cheers Patrick

Good to hear about your recovery. Best to let these things take as long as needed to ensure a full recovery. All the best! -
Hi everyone! Thanks for all of your comments and Likes! Greatly appreciated. Symphony has a large curved sofa in her main saloon, which I've been trying to duplicate. Here's my attempt at it. I hope you like it. Here are the latest photos. Cheers Patrick

Lextin You're back! I was wondering how you've been because I've missed your updates. Nice job on the pivot gun. She certainly has a fair bit of recoil, that's for sure! Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor ..ahem...I actually have exactly the same magnifiers! Damn useful they are, too. All the best Patrick

I'll second that! Sing out when you're ready for an update. -
Hi Vaddoc Each and every update that you post exemplifies just how much progress you're making, and not only that, but also just how nice the build is. Have you given any thought as to how you will display her? Cheers Patrick

Hi Dennis She's coming along beautifully. Everything's nice, crisp, clean and precise; all of which adds up to nice detailing work! All the best Patrick

Hi Ben Your battering ram made me think.....When we were kids, we used to take great delight in using our RC cabin cruisers to chase the local ducks on the lake. The ducks hated it, but the bystanders had a laugh. I can just imagine how much more entertaining the spectacle would've been if your battering rams with spikes were fitted to our boats! Now, that's worth a thought. Cheers Patrick

Ahhh! That's the same as what I've done on occasions....great minds think alike. Thanks! All the best Patrick

Beautiful work, Sherry. A truly classy piece of work! Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor What's your secret for doing the blocks? Cheers Patrick and

Thanks Vaddoc! I actually haven't thought about the connection between fruit and boats, but now that you've pointed it out, it brings a smile to my face! Thanks for the compliment! All the best Patrick

Hi Dennis, Dave and Frank, as well as everyone who hit the Like button! Greatly appreciated! I've made a bit more progress in the owner's stateroom in the aft of the ship. Principally, the work to date includes the settee on the port side and also, I've mocked up the double bed that sits on the starboard side. Once I'm satisfied that the bed frame fits, then, I'll do the final frame. I've still got to do a fair bit more work on the surrounding area, eg settee cushions, mattress, cupboards, etc. Anyhow, here are the photos. Cheers Patrick

Hi Nils Nice! However....Somehow, I think you must be really itching to get the planking done, so that you can lay the first metal plate! I know, because I would be, if I were you. Nonetheless, I'm sure you're still loving seeing the hull take shape after each additional plank is laid, just as much as we all are. I'm happily looking forward to your next update, as always. Cheers Patrick
