Hi Ben Great to see your update because I was wondering how you were going. It's good to see that you're progressing really well. Won't be long to go, now. Cheers Patrick -
Hi Igor Nice work, especially the deck planking. I think at the rate you're going, you're going to be finished tomorrow! All the best. Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben Ok, let me get this right....you're building an engine as well!! I gotta say, the more I think about, the more I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together. She's going to look great, no doubt. I'm also glad that you were able to finally start building, because I'm like you...sometimes, you just need to build something! Cheers and all the best Patrick

Hi Igor That was quick work! The hull's looking nice so far and it should turn out to be a little beauty! I look forward to following along, as always. Cheers Patrick

...and deservedly so!

Hi Dave Those carvings look brilliant, especially the depth of detail that you've been able to build into them. I also like how crisply and cleanly they stand out visually against the dark colour of the hull. Nice! Also...a pretty ingenious use of those dental picks! They really look the part. Cheers Patrick

Hi Piet I'm definitely going to enjoy following along; like many others on this Forum. All the best Patrick

Hey Pete This is gonna be another beauty! I'm looking forward to following along. Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor Wow, that looks great! Heaps of character. Loads of charm. Beautifully executed with loads of atmosphere. The stands is also a really nice complement to the overall effect of the model. Really nice! What's next (ie after the Atlantic)? Cheers Patrick
-
HinVaddoc I think Butterfly has finally broken free of her cocoon! Wow, the hull looks nice and shapely, especially when viewed from above. You must be feeling pretty chuffed now! All the best Patrick

Hi Jond Many thanks for your explanation and the photos, which I found very interesting. If there are inherent shortcomings in the ship's sailing charchteristics, then I hope they don't detract too much from your enjoyment of her. Incidentally, just looking at the profile shot of the template sails on the yards, I couldn't help but think that she did look slightly underpowered, for such a big hull, but I'm sure that's not the case. Regardless, I'm really looking forward to seeing your ship underway. I hope, if possible, that you're able to post a video of the ship underway. Cheers. Patrick

Hi Dennis Your AG is a triumph of ideas, imagination and skills and you deserve to be justifiably proud of it. I don't know about others on this Forum, but I will certainly miss following the AG's journey. The silver lining is the fact that there'll be another build to enjoy once this model's over. All the best! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Dennis. Greatly appreciated! Cheers Patrick

Hi Lextin It's always exciting to do the first floatation test. However, I hadn't realised that you'd put a cardboard deck on the boat. Do you think the swollen cardboard is recoverable, or will you need to replace it with a wooden deck? Hopefully you'll be able to improve the waterproofing without needing to resort to other measures. In spite of the deck issue, I gotta say, your ship does look in the water. Way to go! All the best Patrick

Hi Marty You may well be right! However...When I did the Mystic (66 foot Motor Cruiser) earlier at 3 inches in length, I thought I was really crazy. Truth be told, I quickly learnt that 3 inches is the very smallest that I can go (with a detailed interior) without the detail being microscopic. So, hopefully, at 7 inches, this will be a bit easier. Anyhow, I hope you'll be able to join me on Symphony's journey! All the best Patrick

Hi everyone, especially Greg, Piet, Marty, Matija, Vaddoc, Ben, David, Mark, Pete, Bob, Elia, Carl, Dimitris and Igor Wow and double wow! Thank you for all of your great comments and feedback about Rainbow. It means a lot to me to know that you guys like my work!! Greatly appreciated!!! Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor What would life be without errors and mistakes! The good thing is that you're on top of things and working towards a good outcome. Hopefully the same sorts of problems won't crop up with your Atlantic model. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Dave I love those carvings and mouldings! This is definitely going to be one hell of an achievement once you've finished. Afterall, it's not everyone that's brave enough to tackle the SOS, especially as a scratch build. All the best and I'll keep hanging out for your updates! Cheers Patrick

Hah Igor I still don't know how you do it! With my luck, I'd probably pull the wrong string and the hull would go popping out and go flying across the room! You must have magic hands and the patience of a nun! Cheers Patrick

Hi Dimitris Nice work! I especially love the look of those staircases. Their design, characterised by the narrow steps at the top, increasing towards the bottom step, evokes an air of grandeur and they do look very fancy indeed. You'd almost expect to see a fancy aristocratic lady descending them with an umbrella to shield herself from the sun during a midday stroll across the deck. That'd be not too far-fetched, I guess, given the grandiose nature of the ship itself. All the best and keep the updates coming. Cheers Patrick

I couldn't agree more! Very nicely done, Pete. Cheers Patrick
