Beautiful Patrick. Your fleet is wonderful. The last sailboat you made with the cutaway section looks so fragile I would hesitate to even breath near!

Hi Vaddoc

Hah yep, you’re right about the last sailboat being ‘fragile’.  That’s my model of Ingomar that you’re referring to...definitely one of my favourites as far as sailing models go.

Thanks for your compliments about the fleet, as well.  Much appreciated.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Patrick,

 

I'm pulling up a stump as well Patrick.  An interesting design you picked, looks like a lot of fun to build.

Great progress already.

Hi Piet and Dave

Many thanks and welcome onboard!  

Progress has been slow, but I still hope to get some pics up soon!

Have a great weekend.

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Ben

I like the idea of hiding each completed section from ‘prying eyes’.  Gotta keep some surprises😊😊

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Ben

Your boat’s really coming along beautifully. I bet your daughter must be pretty excited as she watches it all coming together. 

I especially like the heater!

Cheers.

Nice start Patrick. A super yacht that actually looks like a boat - what is the world coming to.

Hi Keith

1:388 !  -  and I’m thinking 1:48 is too small!  Another interesting looking yacht for your fleet of miniature marvels.  Best of luck on your new project Patrick.

Many thanks, Mark and Gary.

Much appreciated.

Patrick

Many thanks, Phil.  

I hope you can stick around and enjoy the journey.

Hi folks

Well, I’ve been a bit impatient lately and started on my next model, Sapphire, before my previous model, Genesis is completely finished.

Anyhow, Sapphire is based on an actual mega-yacht called, Okto (https://www.yachtcharterfleet.com/luxury-charter-yacht-43054/okto-yacht-charter-printable.pdf).

As is customary with all of my miniature models, the interior accomodation will be fully detailed and viewable through removable decks and superstructure.

I hope you can join me on Sapphire’s journey.

Cheers.

Hi Marcus

One of the great joys of our hobby is seeing our creations take shape, from a set of plans, to a framed hull. Without a doubt, your ship’s really coming along beautifully. 

Pls keep the updates flowing. 

Cheers. 

Patrick

Hi Keith

Here I am, just catching up again, after a few weeks of absence and...yep, you guessed it, I’m totally gob-smacked!

Damn, that hull is simply masterful.

Cheers.

A wonderful master class for those of us still in the early stages of ship building.  The first few photos of the diorama looked for all the world like the real thing.  I kept looking for a diorama within the diorama.  Thank you for sharing and explaining.

 

Steve

Hi Gary

Steve’s absolutely right. A nice Masterclass to inspire and help people like myself to learn and improve. 

All the best!

Patrick

Hi Eibwen

I’ve just found your Build Log and am amazed at what you’ve achieved with popsicle sticks!  

I’m going to enjoy following along, so pls keep the updates flowing. 

Cheers. 

Patrick

Hi Phil

Just catching up. The sails look nice and will give your boat a real sense of atmosphere. 

All the best!

Patrick

Hi Kees

Outsanding work, as usual!

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Sam

I had to blink and do a double-take, when I saw how small your ship is.  It makes your work even more special!

Nicely done.

Cheers. 

Patrick

Hi folks

Well, as Genesis is nearing completion...Guess what?  It’s time for Genesis to meet the other ships in the fleet, (well, not the full fleet, but some of them, anyway).

Enjoy!

Have a great week, folks!

Cheers. 

Patrick

Not long to go now, Phil. 

Have you considered how and where you’re going to display her?

Thanks. 

Patrick

Hi Keith

A masterful job on the scroll.  I sense there’s another skill that you can add to your resume!

Have a great week.  

Cheers. 

Patrick

Hi Frank

Once again, you’ve made a complex job for a mere mortal, such as me, look incredibly easy.  

Very, very nice work....but, then again, that’s totally to be expected.

Have a great week.

Cheers.

Well done Patrick - it is testament to you skills that you have made such a good looking silk purse out of a sows ear.

Hi Keith

Many thanks. I’ll take a silk purse over a sow’s ear any day 😀😀😀😀. 

Have a great week.

Amazing work Patrick! Love how she’s turned out, especially that heck-uv-a hull! And, I concur that a minimalist display is a good contrast to the shapely boat- like you pointed out, it emphasizes the uniqueness. Great job!

Hey Ben!

Many thanks. I gotta admit that I’m still ever so grateful for your help on the hull, in particular. 

Thanks again. 

Cheers
