Thanks Lawrence You're absolutely right about Majellan looking better after the accident. How does that saying go - "every cloud has a silver lining"? You see, having to fix the damage has forced me to address quite a few problems that I'd been putting off for a rainy day, e.g. the painting and fixing up a few areas of the superstructure which required alterations and improvements. So, all in all, the accident wasn't so bad, after all. Have a great weekend! Cheers Patrick

Hi Nenad Wow. I know you said it was complex, but...I had no idea!!! I look forward to seeing the final product. I hope Hothead scores well with this one. Cheers Patrick- 4,152 replies

Thanks Frank! Yep, it's been a while in between updates, but life's just been getting in the way lately! Hopefully, that's going to change and I'll be back to normal soon. Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone Thanks for all of your Likes and comments, especially in relation to the 'little accident" that befell Majellan. Well, after the accident, I've put her all back together. The following photos show Majellan so far. A little bit of glue, putty and much swearing and, she's well on her way to being fully healed. The superstructure has received a few more coats of paint. Once I've completed the painting of the superstructure, I can then get on with the lower deck's fit-out. Oh...and let's not forget that there's also the painting of the hull, the addition of the rudders, propellers, radars, aerials, and adding the ship's boat and jet skis to the garage, etc, etc, etc. In other words, lots more work to go!!! Fun, though. All the best, everyone! Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis I really like the shape of your new boat, especially the bow cabin. It gives it a really nice and distinctive shape. What also amazes me is just how different this hull is from your original hull. I can now understand what must have driven you to make this new hull, because it certainly seems that the original hull was more of a fishing boat design. This hull seems to suit your vision much better! I'm not as confused as before, because I understand better where you're heading now. Keep going!! Cheers Patrick

Hi Nenad Sounds typical, but also very interesting! I'd love to see the 'flower school' when it's fully assembled. Cheers Patrick- 4,152 replies

Hi Denis Thanks for asking! Whilst I was able to put most of her back together again over the following couple of days after the accident, I haven't been able to do much on Majellan for the past two to three weeks for various reasons. Hopefully, I'll try to get back to her soon. All the best Patrick

Hi Nils Seeing your finger in the last photo highlights just how small the deckhouse is. Having said that, I've gotta say, damn that's nice! More than anything, I think it's the rivets that enhance the overall appearance for me. Nice job! Cheers Patrick

Hi Willie I love watching the vids! She's alive! A couple of quick questions - Is there an issue with water potentially ingressing the hull due to it's low freeboard? Also, how do you think she'll perform in choppy waters? Would the bow rise and fall out of the water as she hits the waves, do you think? No problem, either way. I'm just curious because I've really got no idea how the real ships performed in rough seas. Cheers Patrick

Hi Jond Congrats on the launching of both boats. They look really nice on the water. I'm sure that you'll have the little teething problems fixed in no time. All the best! Patrick

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.
