HI Denis What better way to spend time than with the grandkids! I hope they enjoy the modelling every bit as you will. Oh...and did I forget to mention that the long forecastle of the boat looks mighty sharp! That, combined with the red trim looks pretty darn good! All the best! Cheers Patrick -
Hi Keith I had the same problem years ago in my house after my RC yachts began to grow and grow and grow. My solution? Build miniatures! They take up next to no room and are easy to display. Who knows? You may want to try one, too. Quick question - Are you going to display your new models in the Gallery section? Cheers and thanks Patrick

Congratulations Keith Both ships are simply wonderful. It's easy to see just how much you love this whole ship-building experience. I reckon you've set the bar pretty high in terms of what you've achieved so far. What's next? Any hints? Cheers Patrick

Hi Rob I have been lurking silently in the background...admiring your work. However, no more will "I lurk silently"! I really must speak up now. Seriously...the sheer speed in which you're pulling this beautiful hull together is mind-boggling. Outstanding stuff! I'm really looking forward to what you've got in store for us next. Cheers Patrick

Hi Mike Whoever said/thought that the framework of a hull isn't beautiful, obviously hasn't seen your work. Talk about precise, symmetrical and down right, just plain gorgeous...oh, and the workmanship's not too bad, either . Nice stuff! Cheers Patrick

Hi Carl - I agree! You wouldn't want to be claustrophobic, would you? I reckon the owner's suite on the Main Deck would be the pick of the bunch. Hi Keith - Thanks for dropping by. Speaking of flushing...years ago, my Dad made a 48 inch radio controlled luxury cruiser which did indeed have a flushing toilet in it! Tricky stuff, it was...but it actually flushed and refilled whilst the model was underway. I still marvel when I think about how he did it. Hi Vaddoc - great to hear from you and thanks for your compliments! Majellan's journey has been long, but fun, so far. I hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday. All the best Hi Jeff - thanks for your compliments. I have been wondering about how you were going with your Preussen, but I understand that your family circumstances are more important at this stage. Hopefully, things will settle down, thereby allowing you to work on her again. Hi Carl - Yeah, you're probably right about the lack of storage space. But, hey, I put the blame squarely on the designer...not me! Well....that's my excuse, anyway . Have a good one! All the best everyone! Thanks, also to everyone for their Likes as well. Cheers Patrick

Hi Piet Ok. I'm gobsmacked after seeing the buildings. You Sir, are one talented master builder! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Carl Nice! She's coming along beautifully...and what a difference the rigging has made to the overall appearance. Well done! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Ben I'm also loving the new interior as well. I really envy the naval architect's training and thinking that you're putting into the design; without which, the whole design would be neither feasible, or liveable. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together. Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Thanks for your comments. I must admit that I'm really surprised at just how well the murals came out - better than I ever thought they would. Also, the 'missing man' analogy is a nice one, but sadly, it wasn't the case here. The reason for it was to create the impression of the guests just getting up from the table without pushing their chairs back. I reckon it gives a more realistic look to the deck. Have a good'un! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Bob! Details? What details??? Just joking, of course! Stay tuned, because now I'm working on the bathrooms at the forward part of the Lower Deck. Teeny tiny, but still challenging to see how I'm going to be able to do them convincingly. Have a great day! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Bob Thanks for your compliments. Greatly appreciated! I love old steam launches like Puffin. There's something magical about a steam power plant that adds a certain 'majesty' to a boat. Almost as if it's really alive. If you have any photos of your full and half hull models, it'd be great to post them on the Gallery. However, given that they were built some time ago, that's probably not possible, though. Thanks and all the best. Cheers Patrick

Hi folks Just a quick update for you. The internal fit-out of the lower deck continues. Last night, I added the mattresses and pillow-cases in the cabins, as well as another couple of cupboards in the two forward cabins. Also, as I don't think I'd shown you guys before: A few weeks ago I added table mats to the round outdoor table situated on the Bridge Deck. You can just see it in one of the photos. I hope you enjoy the photos! All the best. Cheers Patrick

HI Jeff It's great to hear from you and no need to apologise. I'm glad that you like Majestic. She was tiny, but great fun to build. I'm also happy that you can learn some tips and tricks from her build (as I do from yourself and others on MSW). I hope your wife's parents are not too ill and that recovery is only a short journey away. As for my current build, well...she's a fair bit different from anything I've ever done before. If you get a chance, please have a look at: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/11384-majellan-by-omega1234-luxury-37-metre-motor-yacht-1200-miniature-7-inches-approx/page-1 Cheers and all the best!

Hi Elijah Many thanks! It's great to hear from you and thank you for all your Likes and for following Majellan's journey. I really like what you're doing with your Pilot Launch in the Kit Build Forum. She's a beauty for sure! Keep up the great work. All the best. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Ben It's great to hear from you and thanks for your compliments. Congratulations also, on becoming a registered naval engineer! I'm happy that you like Majellan, especially seeing as you were so influential in the initial shaping of her hull. Not long to go now; apart from lots of tiny fiddly stuff. I'll be sad to finish her, though. She is, (the full sized boat) after all, a beautiful boat, indeed. Cheers Patrick
-
Woo hoo! Welcome back Ben! Congratulations on passing your exams. That's a major achievement, for sure. Now that all of that stuff's out the way, you can get back to the important boat building jobs. I'll definitely be following along. Cheers Patrick
-
No stupidity or errors on your behalf, at all, Mark! She looks simply wonderful. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Elijah What a wonderful job you're doing! I'm definitely looking forward to your next update! Keep up the great work. Cheers Patrick

Hi Glenn There's no doubting the beauty of these old ships - seeing the decks take shape, only accentuates Heroine's beauty. Wow, wow, wow; that's all I can say! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Nils Truly, truly impressive! What's more, you somehow make it look too easy. Cheers Patrick

Hi Kees I echo everyone's thoughts. Having suffered from the same thing in the past, I know what you're going through Focus on the light at the end of the tunnel; because it is there. Take care and you'll be back on deck in no time. Patrick
