Hi Igor I know it sounds easy...but.... I have to admit that if I did it to scale, it'd probably be less than .2 of a mm. Out of interest, how big we're those beauties you made? Cheers Patrick -
Me too! The angle shows off her lines beautifully.

Hi Mike Thanks, but Igor needs to take the credit for those great mugs. If I built them, they'd most likely leak! All the best Patrick

Hi Matija I'm not sure where the error in the paint job is, but in my mind, she's looking pretty darn good. Love it, in fact! All the best Patrick

Hah! Thanks Dave. I don't know if 'chuffed' is just Aussie slang, but it sounds like you got my drift anyway! I bet your poker buddies will look suitably impressed and confused when you use it tomorrow night. All the best Patrick -
Hi Mick Nice start! This is looking like she's going to have a beautiful hull, with really nice lines. I'll enjoy following this one, for sure. All the best. Patrick

Hi Hartmut I haven't checked your build log for a few weeks now, but now that I have...wow! Very impressive. She's turning into one very beautifully detailed and characterful model. Look forward to more updates. Cheers and all the best! Patrick

Hi Dave No matter what price she fetches, at least you can stand proud in the knowledge that all of the love and attention that you've put into the build has gone to a great cause. Well done and you should be feeling pretty chuffed now, I'm sure. All the best Patrick -
Hi Rob I'm not sure how, or why I've missed your buikd log, but I'm happy that I've caught up now. Your ship is one seriously nice model. I love the weathering and the level of detail that you've achieved. Vibe looks so real! Even more so is the fact that she is absolutely at home in the sea that you've displayed her in. If ok with you, I'd love to follow along! Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor Those are some pretty amazing looking cups! I wouldn't have even attempted to do them, because knowing me, they'd probably come out square instead of round. How'd you manage to do such a good job making them? Cheers Patrick

Hi Lawrence and Mick Many thanks for your compliments! Greatly appreciated as always. Lawrence - pls be rest assured....I'm learning heaps from your schooner as well; especially in terms of craftsmanship, skill and dedication to doing the very best possible. Pls keep it up, because I'm enjoying it immensly. Mike - pls don't learn a new language just for me. I'm grateful for your praise and recognition, regardless of whether it's in English or not! Many tanks! Cheers Patrick

Good stuff, Igor. Thanks for the explanation. Will you be hinging the masts at the base as in other ship in bottle type models?
-
Hi Vaddoc Brilliant stuff. It's great to reach the framing stage, because you can now start to see your hard work paying off now. Cheers and all the best Patrick

HinLextin Nice tutorial on how to make the carriages. Thanks Patrick
-
...took the words right out of my mouth!!! Simply superb.

Hi Igor The deckhouse looks pretty impressive. Nice, clean work. Is one of the masts in the second photo? Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Tuffarts Now that would've been something to see. Unfortunately, it didn't stay in Perth for very long...! All the best Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Matija I am perplexed! How come I totally missed this build log??? For some strange reason, I must've overlooked your beautiful Bluenose; but, at least I can say now that I've caught up. Without a doubt, you've done a magnificent job. The details and quality of your workmanship is outstanding, especially the winches. Impressive stuff. All the best Patrick

Hi Igor Thanks. I've been using those same photos to build the interior of my version of Rainbow. Unfortunately, the real interior looks heaps better than anything I could ever do (sigh). Anyway...something to strive for. Loved the Americas Cup photo, too! Hope you're going well and am looking forward to a good weekend. Cheers Patrick

Hi Jan She's looking pretty darn good! Wonderful crisp and clean work! Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor I've found these photos, taken earlier, of the painting on the wall. If I can, I'll follow up on your suggestion to see what else I can put up on the bulkheads. The more, the better, as they'll add life and character to the interior. I hope you like them! Cheers Patrick
