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 

amazing, Patrick,

 

its fantastic what all this "lilliput craft" bears behind its walls and decks. A real good job you certainly can be proud of

 

Nils

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

Yes, a giant rubber hand, and a fake hughe watch ... I knew it, I just knew it couldn't be that BIG!!! Wonderfull work again on that scale a yours ... You've put her back into shape my friend. Lovely job!!

 

Cheers

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

Such a beautiful boat. Let me know when you launch her, I'd like to sign on.

 

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

I like the bandaid on the lower hull Great job, Patrick

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

You have very very big hands or your model is very very small

 

Very very very good job !

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

Nice seeing all this great work come together.  Since it's a luxury yacht, maybe see if  Rolex or Patek Philippe will supply photo props...?[/quote

 

Hi Hexnut

 

Thanks! Let's see, mmmm, a Patek Phillipe would've looked mighty fine. One can only dream!

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

She's coming along quite nicely Patrick, an inspiration for sure.

 

Cheers,

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

Great work, Patrick. I particularly like the last photo (with the watch) - but you should have used your Rolex in the photo.

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

Congrats to Hothead! Well done.

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

Nice words and sentiments, Mark.  Heaps of meaning there.  Janet will be pleased.

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Mark

You're back!!!!!  Great to see you posting again.

Love the PBY.  What a big boy that one will be.  48inch wingspan?  Huge...but nice.

Is she going to fly?

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

Looks very good Patrick! I like the shiny paint in that superstructure!

Now really, your hull needs also a bit of tlc and some nice gloss paint! Looks sell these boats, not seaworthiness! 

Vaddoc

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 Nenad

i reckon you and Hothead must be very deservedly proud!

Amazing design work and yes, the world needs talented architects.

Watch out world - Hothead's coming!

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

Hi Piet

She's looking absolutely wonderful!

Well done.

Cheers

Patrick

Thanks Piet!

Wow, wow, wow!!!!
