Hi Piet That would be very nerve wracking for me, what with the risk of shattering and splinters flying everywhere. I can only say that I'm glad it wasn't me! Nice job,though!! Cheers Patrick -
Hi Kevin Tis nice to see an update. It's sad when life gets in the way of our hobbies, but hopefully you can work more on you ships and post more updates from now on. Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Nils I like the "lilliput analogy". It seems pretty apt, for teeny tiny Majellan! In fact, she could probably fit in one of the cabins on your KWDG! Have a great weekend. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Carl Thanks for your comments. Yep, she's tiny, but what a challenge it's been. I'm gonna miss working on her, once she's finished. I hope you can get back to your ships too, soon! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Bob You're on! Come launch day, we can enjoy a cocktail or two, whilst we watch Majellan cruise the waves. Oh well, we can only dream, can't we? Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Steve Thanks! The "band aid" is a piece of masking tape which I used to cover the bow thuster holes; thus making them relatively water tight during Majellan's ill- fated floatation trials. Sadly, she promptly sank. I was horror struck, and haven't gotten around to removing the tape yet! Oh well... Enjoy your weekend Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Nenad Thanks for dropping by. How does the saying go - "Good things come in small packages". In Majellan's case, yer, I guess she is pretty small, but an absolute giant compared to Piet's current topsail schooner. Have a great weekend! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Piet Many thanks! I'm liking where Majellan's heading too, especially now that things are back on track. Enjoy your weekend and promise me that you'll get back to your Surabaya soon! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Frank! Truth be told, I'm not too keen on Rolex's styling. Somehow, they look old and dated, to me. I much prefer Omega, IWC, Oris, Ball, etc. Nevertheless, I agree with you that any form of product placement for the Swiss Watch industry wouldn't have been a bad thing. LOL. Have a good weekend! Cheers Patrick

Hi Frank I hope that you can take the time to stop, look at what you've achieved and say to yourself "I did that". So often we don't, or can't see what others can clearly see. In my case, I see a brilliantly executed ship. Precise, beautiful, and skilfully engineered. Nice!! Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone I hope you're all well. I've had a go at doing a few of those little niggly bits on Majellan that've I've been putting off for ages. They're tiny details and, therefore, are hard to see. Although they're still 'works in progress', they are: the tiny railings on the Sun Deck at the rear of the sun lounges; the antenna masts and the railings around the staircases on the Sun Deck and Bridge Deck. I hope you like the photos. Have a good one, everyone! Cheers Patrick

Hi Nils Very nice and well worth the extra effort that you've put in. Cheers Patrick

Hi Mark Lovely, lovely work, especially with the pillars on the gallery tops. All the research that you've done is paying off, now. However, it's a shame about having to clean the workshop. Wouldn't your time be better spent making the mess, rather than cleaning it? I'm also intrigued by the 'dedication plaque'. I've always wanted to put similar plaques in my large RC boats, but never got around to doing them. Sounds like you're on the right track for doing one now. All the best! Cheers Patrick

Hi Frank Really nice! She's definitely getting there. Cheers Patrick

Hi Bob We may not be able to see photos of how you make the individual parts of your boats, but we certainly get to enjoy the final results each time you post an update. The forepeak with all of her machinery is looking really nice. Well done! Cheers Patrick

Hi Vaddoc Thanks! You're absolutely correct about the hull needing some loving. That's one of the many list of things that needs to be done, but first, I'll need to amend the shape of the bulbous bow, add the anchor wells above the waterline at the bow and add the stabilisers. So, plenty of stuff still to go. Lots of fun, though. Have a great week! Cheers Patrick

Hi Mehmet Your boat has so much atmosphere, that I can easily imagine the putt-putt sounds of the engine, the exhaust trailing away in the breeze, the bilge water being pumped overboard, the nets swaying from side to side from the swell of the ocean, the seagulls lurking overhead for a quick meal and the captain yelling at his ship mates. What more can you ask for? Lovely work! Cheers Patrick
