Hi folks. A quick update on Genesis’ voyage to completion. I’ve been thinking lately that Genesis‘ interior accommodation has been lacking a bit of greenery. Therefore, I added a few pot plants to her main saloon as well as her sky-deck. Oh...and just in case you were wondering, the plants are actually bits of our kitchen scouring pads which I tore off and glued in place. Mmmm, not bad, I reckon. I hope you enjoy Genesis’ new greenery. Cheers Patrick

You could be right, Mark. But you can count on me to try to keep things on the straight ‘n narrow....cough cough.

Hi Keith I’m just catching up ...again... Oh-My-Lord!!!! Just spectacularly beautiful, Keith. The work you’ve done on the hull is nothing short of gorgeous. Keep the updates flying in. Have a great weekend. Cheers. Patrick
-
Hi Marcus You’re off and racing! It looks like this is going to be a big hull, judging by the size of those bulkheads. All the best with the building. Cheers Patrick

Hi Gary Two words: “FRIGGING AMAZING!!!!” Ahem. I think that just about sums up my reaction to your boat as well as the diorama. I bet you were one of those kids in the school yard who was good at studies, sports and good looking as well. Now look at ya; you’re a master modeller as well. Very, very nice work. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Vaddoc It’s always a real treat to catch up on your work. The cleats, chainplates and hand made ropes look really nice. You’re definitely on the home stretch now. Well done. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Keith - I was actually thinking what your reaction would be when I was doing the gaff-rigged boat. I’m glad to say that you reacted exactly the way I thought you would. Hehehe.... Seriously though, I’m glad you liked it and thanks for your comments. Hi Dave. Wine glasses? Mmmm...now that’s another task to add to the list! Hi Carl Wages? What wages? Surely the privelige of working in a such a classy mega-yacht would be enough😏 Mmmmm. A French maid, you say. Now you got me thinking...!
-
Hi Mark-oh boy....I swear it’s not my fault. I place the blame solely on the clean-up crew. They’re obviously not up to the task. I mean, how hard is it to pick up some popcorn😏? Hehehe. Hi Carl - I’ll take your word for it (about the scale, I mean). I seem to recall that Igor did something similar in a bottle a while back. Now that was tiny as well. Enjoy the rest of your weekends, folks! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Marcus It’s great to see you’re starting on your new beauties to add to your Maritime Museum. I’m in! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Steve. I struggle to think what the scale would be (I failed maths at school!). All I know is that it’s freaking teeny tiny😀. Thanks for your compliments. Have a a great weekend. Cheers. Patrick
-
Thanks Denis I hear what you say about the macro-setting. I’m like a kid in a candy-shop now. I’m constantly taking more and more macro shots, just for the hell of it. They’re a lot of fun to look back and see what I’ve done or, not done). Ahem....what’s this about an upside down chair back, I say? Oh well...you know, the problem lies in poor quality control...you just can’t get good hired help nowadays...😊😊😊 Have a great weekend. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi folks Many thanks for all of your comments and encouragement. Well, well, well...In addition to being a lover of modern art, I’ve decided that Genesis’ owner is also ‘into’ radio controlled model yachts (strange that, isn’t it?😉)? If you look closely, there’s now a tiny radio controlled gaff - rigged yacht, leaning casually against the writing bureau in the Main Saloon. It seems the owner is getting the model ready to put her in the water for a quick sail. Have a nice weekend, folks. Cheers. Patrick
-
Thanks Josh. Your last luxury yacht???? Never say never, they say. Once you’ve done, there’ll be another, then another, then another....😀 Enjoy your weekend. Cheers. Patrick

Hi Josh Nice job! I especially like the sails and how they make the whole boat ‘pop’. The use of magnets on the superstructure is also a really nifty idea. I might just pinch that idea for my models one day, too. I hope your niece liked the boat. All the best! Cheers. Patrick

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
