Hey Nenad Only two days old, but a lifetime of joy and companionship to look forward to. I'm going to enjoy watching her grow, along with Her Majesty. Cheers Patrick- 4,152 replies

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of your comments and Likes. Greatly appreciated! This week, I've been too flat out to work on Shadow, until tonight. The first thing that I managed to do was to build the initial framework of the cabin on the Upper Deck. A lot of guess work has gone into it because the photos and plans that I'm relying upon don't show that much detail. But, nonetheless, at least I've managed to nut it out...I think! Lots of work to go, though. Anyhow, I'm just glad that she's beginning to take shape. Have a great weekend, folks! Cheers Patrick

Hi Jond Beautiful progress on a beautiful boat. I can't wait to see her under full sail on the water! Cheers Patrick
-
Wow, Denis. Syborn's really come a long way since your last update. I wouldn't worry too much about losing the wide open deck space. She's a working boat and a crowded deck just looks more in keeping with her intended purpose. Keep up the great work! Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Denis! That's always a possibility, but so far, things are looking ok with the current materials. Fingers crossed! Cheers Patrick

Hi Lawrence Many thanks and I must admit to being just as surprised as you about how fast she's coming along! Cheers Patrick

Hi Yancovitch Good point about avoiding the fumes - Safety first. Model comes second. I'm looking forward your next update. Cheers Patrick

Hi Yancovitch Two words come immediately to mind - "Big" and "Wow"!!! I can't wait to see her churning through the waves with a strong breeze behind her. Cheers Patrick

Hi Frank Congratulations on getting Dunbrody to the stage where she's ready to be exhibited. She certainly looks lovely and well worthy of many admiring glances from attendees at the Conference. Well done! Cheers Patrick

Hi Jond Mmmm...that's one beautiful hull and also a good story about how you got to build her in between the Booth Bay and Charles Notman ships. I wonder what the 'surprise' is, though???? Cheers Patrick

Hey Vaddoc Thankfully that pesky frame has turned up! It's amazing how these things can seemingly vanish into thin air...it's a constant pain for us modellers. Having said that, that's certainly a big boy that you're building! Cheers Patrick

HI Frank Many thanks for your lovely comment. I'm not sure about the 'talented' bit, but I sure do love what I do. As I've said in previous logs, there's something mesmerising and fascinating for me about building at these scales. So much so, that I just can't help but love creating these teeny tiny boats. Thanks once again. Have a great week! Cheers Patrick

Hi Firdajan Always lovely to watch your models come together and this one's no exception! Cheers Patrick

Hi Juzek Very nice and clean work. Your method of building the hull is very interesting, as well; particularly when there are no internal hull stiffeners to maintain the hull shape. Nicely done! Cheers Patrick -
Hi Carl - good question! To be honest, I'm not really too sure, either. Maybe, it's because I had cut the template out of cardboard anyway and, before I knew it, I'd started to use it to build the actual deck. No stress, though, because once it's planked with wood and saturated in liquid super-glue, it'd be super strong! In fact, it'd be just as strong as styrene, or, wood. Hi Nenad. Thanks for your lovely comment and, also for the loan of the Ants! Greatly appreciated. Hi John - thanks for the photos of the Type 21 Destroyer. It's always nice to see how these ships are built. Kinda like watching giant lego blocks coming together, aren't they? Have a great week, everyone! Cheers Patrick
