Hi Igor Very nice work on those 'blocks'. Once again, you look like you're doing a top job on some pretty tricky bits and pieces. Well done! Cheers Patrick -
Hi Denis Very, very nice! I reckon soldering is another one of those masterful skills that you can add to your CV...along with all the others that you already have. Great job. Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis If I remember correctly, your birthday cake today rivals last year's cake! Glad to see you've had a great day. Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Now, that's impressive! I like the ladder and the extra realism that it adds to the mast. I can just imagine some happy-go-lucky crewman jumping off the top into the water just for kicks! But, without a doubt, it most certainly looks the part. Ouch, also for the bleeding thumb! Hope all's well. Cheers Patrick

Hi Bob Nice railings so far. I also like the superstructure, which looks great. Cheers Patrick

Hi Nenad I agree with Keelhauled (above). Nice work on the ladders and chicken coops. I like how all your hard work is paying off nicely. Cheers Patrick- 4,152 replies

Thanks Denis and everyone else for their comments and Likes! Greatly appreciated. Well.....guess what? All of a sudden, Majellan's all grown-up; having graduated from the building stand, to her final permanent berth. Yes, folks, I've finally made the display stand for her. In doing so, I wanted to create the effect of Majellan 'floating in mid-air', unencumbered by any visible signs of support. This effect was achieved by supporting Majellan on four thin posts of piano wire, which are almost invisible when viewed from afar. I hope you like the floating effect. I've also added the two rudders at the rear. Not long to go now, folks, before Majellan's finished!!! Cheers Patrick

Hi Mick Great progress on a beautiful build. I also haven't heard of pink ivory before, but now I'm educated a bit more. Please tell us more about the wagon wheels. I assume they belong to another one of your horse drawn wagons? Cheers Patrick

Hi Mehmet Chains are good! ...and, like you said, they'd be easier to weather. I reckon go for it! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Mehmet I kinda like the barrels. The only thing that's missing are the rope lashings that would hold them in place against the bulwarks. My opinion only, of course! Cheers Patrick
-
HI Igor Very nice job on the sails. With respect to the last photo, would I be right in assuming that you've put the sail into a vice so that you can glue the bolt-rope onto the edge of the sail? If so, what a nifty idea! Cheers Patrick

Hi Rob Wow! I just love the shape of the hull. A true 'greyhound of the seas'. Nice work, Rob. Cheers Patrick

Hi Julie Thanks for dropping in and enjoying Majellan's journey! Your comments are greatly appreciated. I've been following your J Class build in the Kit Forum as well. She's a beauty and your wood working skills are exemplary. I've also built a model of another J Boat, Rainbow, (see the link below), so I know just how captivating these giant racing machines are! I hope you can continue to follow along. All the best! Cheers Patrick

Hi Carl Many thanks! Following Bob's comments, I know that I really should make another prop with the opposite pitch.....but...I'm not sure that I'm that much of a glutton for punishment! Who knows, maybe one day I may change my mind, but not yet. Have a great weekend! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Bob Thanks for your comments. The propeller hubs and blades are made from thin styrene rods. They're a bit fiddly, but fun. One thing's for sure though, I highly doubt that I'll want to make another one that has the opposite pitch. It did my head in, just trying to do these two! I look forward to seeing your props, as well. Have a Good'un. Cheers Patrick
