  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Hi Bob Nice railings so far. I also like the superstructure, which looks great. Cheers Patrick
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. Hi Mike I'm also playing catch up. And....now that I'm all caught up, all I can say is 'Wow'. Lovely work. Cheers Patrick
  8. Hey Igor You actually laced the sail to the mast? At this tiny scale??? Unbelievable! Nice job. Cheers Patrick
  9. Hi Mehmet Chains are good! ...and, like you said, they'd be easier to weather. I reckon go for it! Cheers Patrick
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. Hi Rob Wow! I just love the shape of the hull. A true 'greyhound of the seas'. Nice work, Rob. Cheers Patrick
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. Hi Bob Thanks for the vote of confidence! But trust me, you're gonna do a mighty fine job, without a doubt! Cheers Patrick
  17. Hi Denis Nice work on the mast. And...what's that I spy in one of the photos? It wouldn't be your new project making a cameo appearance, would it? All the best! Cheers Patrick .
  18. Hey Denis What better way to get the old creative juices flowing, than starting a new ship! Good on ya for not giving in to the 'couch potato' syndrome. If your previous ships are any indication, you're gonna ace this one. I can just imagine the magic that you're going to add to the basic kit stuff, which, will eventually turn into another little masterpiece. I'm in! Cheers Patrick
