Hi Pat Sorry, but Australia Post was late in delivering the tinsel this year😊 Have a great Xmas and New Year. Cheers Patrick

Merry Christmas folks! Thanks for your comments and Likes. Up amidships on Genesis’ Sky Deck, sits another helm station (for want of a better term), consisting of a large all-weather instrument console and two comfy chairs for the skipper and another crew member. I had a go at doing these last night. As with everything, the up-close photos really magnify each and every mistake. I swear, everything looks fine if you stand a couple of metres away.... Bear with me, I’ll get around to cleaning them up one day😊. Any how, have a great Xmas and a happy 2019. Cheers Patrick

Hi Carl You’re absolutely right about learning and gaining knowledge from everyone’s builds here. As my Dad used to say, ‘we never stop learning until the day we die’. Keep the updates coming! Cheers. Patrick

Hi Denis An interesting dilemma you’ve got there. I guess the final decision will be determined by what, in your mind, looks best and makes the most sense. I’m sure that whatever decision you make, it’ll look just right. Go with your instincts. Cheers. Patrick

Hi Denis What a difference a bit of sandpaper can make, hey? The hull is really looking good now. It won’t be long before you’ll have her fully planked and sanded, sitting proudly upright on the stand. Nicely done. Gave a great Xmas. Cheers Patrick

Hi Paul Haha. Yeah, I know that the furniture is really ‘way-out’, but I really wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone as far as the decor and furnishings go with this boat. Having said that, I can honestly say that my model is pretty tame compared to the real boat, Khlalilah. If ever you get a chance to google the real boat, you’ll know what I mean...😉. Nothing in that boat is for the faint hearted, I can assure you. All the best Patrick

Thanks Marcus I’m glad you’re enjoying Genesis’ progress as much as I am. The colours certainly make the model ‘pop’ really nicely. Have a great Xmas! Cheers. Patrick

Hi Pat Why, oh why, have I not noticed your Build Log before??? I’m kicking myself. Ok, from now on, I’m stepping aboard. I hope there’s enough room onboard? Have a great Xmas and New Year. Cheers. Patrick- 993 replies

Hi Phil Very nice progress. You’re getting one step closer to planking the hull...and then you’ll see your hard work paying off. Thanks. Patrick

Thanks Pat. If truth be told, I think I’m having too much fun with this model...so much so, that I’m getting all arty-farty with the style and colour combinations, the eclectic mix of furniture and the artwork. Maybe I need counselling to curb my overly-creative tendencies😉😀😉😀😉😀 Cheers. Patrick

Hi Angarfather What’s life without some enjoyment, hey? Swimming, barbecuing, friends and family...all food for the soul. Enjoy! The dockyard can always wait. Cheers Patrick

Haha! Thanks, Carl. Please don’t expand the photos too much as you’ll really see the rough edges and mistakes! Seriously, why does magnifying things have to be soooo cruel! I see what you mean about the Lower Deck having the ‘necessities only’...well, where else are the hired help going to live??? You don’t want to spoil them...! Have a great week. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Phil Talk about a ‘challenge’...this has it in spades! No doubt you’re up to it; especially with the very promising start you’ve made already. I’ll be following along for support and encouragement. Have a great Christmas and New Year! Cheers. Patrick

Hi Michael I can just imagine the sort of magic that you’ll be able to conjure up that new addition to your workshop. Enjoy! Cheers Patrick

Hi folks Just another quick update on Genesis’ interior accommodation. I know it’s only a small part, but a couple of days ago, I did the crews mess up forward on the Lower Deck. I also did the companionway ladder leading from the aft of the Main Deck to the Upper Deck. And...as the furniture layout in the Sky Lounge was really bugging me, I rearranged things a bit and came up with a better look, I think. Still more work to go, folks. Have a great Christmas! Cheers. Patrick

Hey Denis ...and you’re off and running on another beauty!!! As usual, I’m struggling to catch up🙂. Nonetheless, Progress looks like she’s shaping up to be a whole lot of fun. Are you going to add your special touches to it, (as you’ve done with your Andrea Gail), or will it pretty stock standard? Either way, it’ll still be great. Cheers. Patrick
-
Many thanks, Denis. Genesis is an amazing model to build and I’m thoroughly captivated by it. I’m glad you’re enjoying the journey as well. Have a grest Xmas and 2019. Cheers. Patrick
