  1. Stunning, Patrick. When you see them details without reference they seem much bigger, as I can't imagine they can be build that small with so much details ... you did some marvelous work ... again, and again stunning detail

     

    Cheers

    Hi Carl

     

    Thanks for your compliments. I thought the same thing when I saw your ship, as well as Igor's and Piet's teeny tiny marvels and all of the other miniatures on MSW. But, at the end of the day, it's all about trying and pushing our respective limits to see what can be done.

     

    Have a great week!

     

    Cheers

  2. Hi Frank

     

    Wow!!!! I know I've commented on the quality of your work and the care that you put into each aspect of the ship, but seeing you milling the mortices for the framework, really takes the cake!

     

    Lovely. If it was me, I'd have been lazy and simply butt-jointed the framework, but you went the extra mile and made a brilliant job of it.

     

    Milestone's reached and conquered, I'd say!

  3. Hi folks

     

    Thanks for all of your comments and Likes!

     

    Today, I had a day-off work, so, I set about making Majellan's port and starboard navigation lights.  I also added a bit more detail to the ship's tender in a bid to make it look a bit more convincing.

     

    Lastly, I repainted the jet skis.

     

    I hope you all enjoy the photos!

     

    Cheers

  4. HI everyone

     

    Ok.  I'm guilty as charged.  I'm just having too much fun taking photos of Majellan.  I may have gone a bit overboard by taking the following 11 photos, but I reckon she's one hell of a photogenic "looker".  So, please bear with me.  Of particular interest are the ship's tender and one of the jet ski's which have been casually located on the aft garage deck, just waiting to be launched.  

     

    However .........these close-ups keep highlighting all the mistakes and 'still to be done jobs'.  Don't worry.  I'll get around to them, soon.  One of the first will be to properly install the railings to ensure that they're all straight and level....

     

    I hope you enjoy the photos, folks.

     

    Have a great week, everyone!

     

    Cheers

  5. Hi Piet

     

    Thanks - yes, the life rafts are, or, at least were going to be painted.  However, Smartypants here went and glued them in before painting them!  :(  :(  :(

     

    Now...I have to get out my finest paint brush and try to carefully paint them.  A job made all the more difficult because I'll need to avoid painting the wire baskets that they're sitting in. 

     

    Wish me luck!

     

    Cheers

  6. Very nice Daniel!!!

     

    Superb work since your last update.  Cannons good.  Deck good.  Catheads good.  Bulwarks good.  Railings good.  Mast good. Bowsprit good.... But, oh my, the curved staircases leading up the quarter deck add an even more magical touch to your little beauty!

     

    I reckon this she's gonna be a little masterpiece, once finished, for sure!

     

    Cheers

  7. Hi Piet

     

    Thanks for your compliment above, but trust, me, even my nano micro-nuclear submarine and cutter models which I put in my previous model Symphony, isn't a touch on what you're doing here.  Seriously teeny tiny marvels, for sure!

     

    Also, I doubt that you'd have a need to be scared of Typhoon Gwen.  You've been doing lots of work on your yard and the house lately, so I'm sure all's ship-shape already.

     

    Still pays to be cautious, though..!

     

    Cheers

  8. Thanks Brian!  

     

    It certainly sounds like you made the right move to Denver, especially if the jobs are there.  Best of luck.

     

    Thanks also, for the challenge.  I do have another ship in the pipeline.  It'll make Majellan look like a tiny run-about; assuming of course, that I can pull it off: https://www.yachtcharterfleet.com/luxury-charter-yacht-24129/mary-jean-ii-photos.htm#yacht-tabs).

     

    All the best!

     

    Cheers

  9. Hi Brian

     

    It's great to hear that you're still working (albeit slowly) on your Yacht Mary. As usual, life always gets in the way, but I'm looking forward to your photos and updates.

     

    Congrats, also, on your move to Denver.  As an Aussie, the only thing that Denver brings to mind is John Denver and his Rocky Mountain High song  ;)  ;)  ;) , but I'm sure that it's one hell of a beautiful spot.

     

    Cheers

  10. Hi everyone

     

    Thanks for all of your comments and Likes!

     

    Just a quick update - Last night I added the four life rafts (two on each side) that hang off the sides of the Sun Deck.  The close-up photos show that they still require some 'tidying up', but, that can be done later.

     

    Have a great weekend, folks!

     

    Cheers

  11. I can't add anything to what's already been said, Patrick.  I'll just sit here quietly in awe.

    Hi Mark - thanks. I'm glad you like her.

     

     

     

    Patrick, she's looking very sweet! great job

    Hi Steve. Many thanks. Still lots of work to go, but I'm loving working on her.

     

    Have a great weekend, guys!

     

    Cheers
