Hi Cristiano I really like the last photo, in particular. The ropes are nicely coiled on their belaying pins, the gun carriages are rigged to the blocks in the deck and what's more, the deck itself is beautifully planked. All of these add up to heaps of atmosphere and character. Really, really nice stuff! Cheers Patrick

Hi Jond I'm glad that you were able to solve the mast rake issue. Apart from being true to historical accuracy, if you had left them at the wrong rake, would it have affected the sailing performance of your model in any way? Probably not, but I thought I'd ask? Cheers Patrick

Hi Dennis She's looking brilliant. I hope you're good at carving fish, because that's probably all that's left to do! . Cheers and happy vacation. Patrick

Hi Michael and Mark ....I'm afraid I'm exactly like Mark. I haven't got a clue what's going on, either. At least I know impressive work when I see it. Cheers Patrick

Hi Everyone, especially to Nigel, Matija, Igor, Dimitris and Igor. Nigel and Dimitris - many, many thanks for coming on board and participating in Rainbow's journey! Your comments and feedback are greatly appreciated and welcomed. Please come back often for visits! Matija - yes, you're absolutely correct about the shading to represent the reinforcement panels being too dark. Luckily, these are only templates of the sails and not the final product. I've drawn the lines and shading in order to help me understand how the patterns will look and how best to make them. I think I'll need to be not so heavy handed with the pencils next time!! Thanks for your feedback. Greatly appreciated as always. Cheers and all the best Patrick

Hi Captain Steve Admittedly, I'm a late visitor to your log, but now that I have visited, I'm totally blown away by your amazing ship. I love the detailing that you've done, especially the saw, bags of flour, fruit, supplies, etc. Heaps of character and realism. Well done. You must be pretty chuffed by now! All the best. Patrick

Hi Igor Thanks for the tip about the hairdryer! I'll experiment using Dennis' suggestion of glueing the panels on, as opposed to drawing them This method may work better because, after all, the real sails would consist of a layer of sail cloth stuck/sewn onto the sail to reinforce it. Maybe worth a try, for sure. Cheers Patrick
-
Very nice, Dimitris! Seeing you holding the cabin inbetween your fingers really shows how clean and crisp your workmanship is. Well done and all the best! Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Igor Even though these are only temporary templates, I now know that the shading to simulate the reinforced panels on the sails are too dark. When I do the real sails, I'll have to do them very lightly, so that they can only just be seen from a distance (instead of being so prominent as they are now). I guess it just shows the value of learning by trial and error. All the best Patrick

Hi Igor I reckon that looks damn good! Your ship's going to be a very admired model for some time to come, especially in a set up such as that. Well done. Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone, especially Piet, Bob and Igor and everyone else that 'Liked' Rainbow's progress so far. Well, tonight a major milestone has been reached! Earlier today I went to the local Art Supplies store. I showed them all the info and advice that I received from Igor, Leo-zd, Row, Piet, Dennis, Michael, etc about the coloured pencils. They agreed that the 6H graphite pencil was indeed the best to use for the lines and the 2B graphite was best for the shading. I was glad and promptly bought the pencils. I also bought some drafting film to draw the templates for the sails. A short while ago, using the graphite pencils, I drew the templates of the sails onto the drafting film. The results are shown in the photos. Doesn't look too bad, I must admit. I'm still eagerly awaiting Igor's packing film, but in the meantime, at least I've got the temporary templates done. I'll still experiment with Leo-zd's and Dennis' methods in the meantime. Anyhow, here're the photos of the temporary templates. Cheers Patrick

Hi there Your clipper looks like it'll be a beauty and I'll be following along. I'm just wondering why the 1/96 scale is suitable because of 'special reasons'. Is it because of limited space to be displayed? Cheers Patrick
-
Oh come on, Anton!!! That's not possible. I shake my head.....not in disapproval, but amazement!! Those life rafts with their stickers, just bring a whole new reality to your brilliant model. I'm just sitting here wishing I could do that as well as you. I think the Doctors call my affliction a serious case of "Over-Antonitus"....a newly discovered disease characterised by these symptoms - envy, admiration and overall being gob smacked". The only known cure, says the Doctor, is more photos please!!! Cheers Patrick

Hi Jerry Nice job! I must admit that I didn't realise how thick the deck planking was until I saw your first photo above. Is the thickness to allow for the sanding, or just for overall structural rigidty? Either way, I'm just curious, because the deck's shaping up to be a beauty. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Jond I love the detail work that you're doing. There's no doubting the skill you have and the quality of your craftsmanship, that's for sure. What's more, those scale figures that you've put on the deck, are so lifelike, that they bring a whole new dimension of reality to your ship. Well done! Cheers Patrick

Hi Dennis Love the close-up shots and then that overall shot of the entire model. But, you know what? Regardless of whether you're looking up close, or far away... The ship looks brilliant, no matter what. All the best Patrick

Hi everyone and thanks especially for all your Advice, Likes and compliments. I've progressed a little bit on the rigging (my favourite bit...not!!). The latest photos are provided below. Admittedly, the rigging looks really messy at the moment because it's all pretty much temporary. Still lots of work to go. Cheers Patrick

Hi Johnny You made the deadline!!! Your mum should be very pleased and proud of your ship, as well as you, of course. I like what you've done with your ship. She's got heaps of character and charm. Well done! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Dimitris Okay... I promise!! I'll happily follow along. Cheers Patrick

Hi Dimitri It's been some while since I last visited your AV log and all I can say.is "wow". You're doing a pretty impressive job! All the best Patrick

Hi Kevin I, too, have also been patiently hanging out to see where you're at. Hope all's well. See you when you're next ready for an update. Cheers Patrick

Marvellous! Marvellous! Marvellous! That's all I can say, Dennis. All the best Patrick

Ahhh. Okay. Thanks Michael. It's always tricky trying to find what would look good as rigging on tiny scale models, such as your cutter. It'd be good to hear what you come up with. Thanks Patrick
