No probs, Ben. Happy to help! -
Hi Dennis To be honest, I can't see anything wrong with the ladders you've made, because to me, the ladders, plus all the other details are just brilliant. Very well done! Cheers and enjoy your weekend. Patrick

Hi Owen Your hull's looking really nice! Well done. I also like your engine room....which, couldn't have been easy at only 3 cms in length! Good luck with the rest of your build and I look forward to following along. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Vaddoc You know you're doing a good job when the ship's very own designer pays you compliments!!! Very well done. Keep up the great work, because, I, for one, am definitely enjoying your updates. Cheers and all the best Patrick

Ah, interesting problem with the balsa wood. Have you thought of using a waxed wooden mould/plug to build the hull? If not, it doesn't matter, because, whatever method you chose, it's still going to look great. All the best. Patrick

Hi Jond Wow! Your ship looks brilliant...and huge! I can't wait until launch day, because she's going to look fantastic underway. Out of interest, how will you transport the ship to the water's edge? Will you have a cradle/trolley, perhaps? Cheers Patrick

Hi Leo I've no doubt that whatever problems you have with rigging the cannons, that you'd get over them pretty quick smart. Look forward to more updates. All the best Patrick -
Hi Anton I knew that you'd be itching to get the masts in place, even it was only as a trial fit!!! I'm exactly the same as you, in that regard. In fact, being able to temporaily install the masts is really one of those milestone moments, that, more than anything, really gives you a true indication of the dimensions of the model. Will you be putting the sails on as well? Cheers and all the best Patrick

Hi Mehmet Really nice! Your weathering looks very convincing and especially well done. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the weathering, plus the old and worn out look of the planking and other parts of the ship, all add to an overall feeling of a working boat that's endured many a rough storm and had extensive use. Talk about 'full of character and charm...". Great job and thanks for sharing this build with us. All the best Patrick -

Hi Leo That's some pretty marvellous work you've done. I especially love the fact that, even at the size that you're building at, you can still see the individual pieces of the stem itself. Very nice! I can't wait to see more updates, eg when the cannons are installed, etc. That'd be something to see, for sure. Cheers and all the best. Patrick -
Nice job on the ship's boat!
-
Hi Cristiano I agree with you about 'it being a chain reaction', because like any project, you can't move onto the next thing until the current one is fully finished. So, I can understand how you must feel-the stays and blocks need to be done before the shrouds, etc, otherwise you'd be in strife. The good thing is that once it's all done, you can the look back with satisfaction at a job well done! Cheers Patrick
-
Hey Ben Here ya go! Nice smooth action of those oars, that's for sure! Well done. Cheers Patrick
-
No problems, Ben. Happy to help! I also liked the way that the hull was hiding away in the background of your first video. It was almost as if she was beckoning for the installation day to come. Good luck with the dry fitting and testing. Cheers and all the best Patrick
-
Hi Ben Congrats. A milestone reached. Next step...installation!!! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Anton That sounds like a great idea! By the way, the trailer that the fizz boat was sitting in looked pretty good. Could you also, perhaps, find some way of incorporating it into the display somehow? It'd be a shame to waste it somehow. Regardless, I enjoy your updates and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. Cheers and all the best! Patrick
-
Hi Anton Superb as always! Are you still going to furnish the galley, engine room, etc? If so, you'd probably want to tackle them before doing the masts and rigging. Cheers Patrick
-
Wow! She's really coming along nicely now!
-
Ahhh, so now the secrets are coming out....!

Hi Michael Truly phenomenal workmanship! I have absolutely no idea about the mechanical/ engineering aspects, nor the technical terms you've used, but I know enough to appreciate the skill and workmanship you've put into building your motor. Pretty awe inspiring stuff! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Igor That pump and its handle is just phenomenal! I'm constantly amazed at what you're doing. You'd better be careful, though....don't breathe in or breathe out too close to it. It's so tiny that you never know where it might disappear to! All the best Patrick

I know what else can be said and I quote: 'Oh come on! No one can build that well and that fast! Anton, you're putting us all to shame, with your incredible skill and productivity. When did you say you were heading back out to sea again? You'll be finished long before then" Seriously well done. Cheers Patrick
