Hi everyone Well.....it's been a sad day for Majellan. I now know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Majellan cannot fly, or even float like a bee! You see, I was carrying the ship to the table to work on, when she fell off her stand onto our floor tiles. All I can say is that the crunch as she hit the floor was NOT nice. Bits and pieces went flying everywhere. On the bright side, once I picked the pieces up, I soon learned that the actual structural damage wasn't as bad as feared. As you can see, the radar dome structure was broken, as was a large chunk of the bow. Thankfully, the rest of the damage was fairly minor, apart from the interior details taking a bit of a knock. What can I say; we build'em tough, here in Australia! My project for tonight is to fix and recuperate. Wish me luck! Cheers Patrick

Hi Piet All kudos to you for even attempting what you've done. I like it!!! Nice job. Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben Great to hear from you again! Hope all's well. Thanks for your comments about Majellan's journey. Greatly appreciated. Don't be in too much of a hurry with the Doll Boat. Sometimes I find the best thing to do is to walk away for a while, after which I find that the problems have often solved themselves. Good luck, nevertheless and I look forward to seeing your next updates. Cheers Patrick

Hi Lawrence Thanks for your compliments. I'd have to say that the 'cluttered' look is one of the biggest problems I face when building at this scale. A lot depends upon the thickness of the materials I use. The thinner the better, (within reason of course). I'm really glad that you like her. Thanks and all the best! Patrick

Couldn't have said it any better, Carl! Kees - lovely work. Cheers Patrick

Hi Mark Nice progress. I like it! In fact, seeing the empty hull, just emphasises how cavernous the hull is. Are you going to do any of the internal accommodation? Cheers Patrick

Hi Piet I tell ya, if the City of Palm Coast, Florida, had an award for the "Most Generous and Caring Neighbour", you'd have to be the winner! That's truly generous of you to take the time to help, particularly as most people would've just turned away to let someone else do the work. Good stuff! Cheers Patrick

Cutty Sark by NenadM

Hi Nenad Nicely done. Your soldiers look like like they're ready for business. Rigging a three masted ship is daunting, to say the least, but you're going to tackle it with aplomb, for sure. Cheers Patrick- 4,151 replies

Hi Mark Thanks!!! You're right about the 'kitchen canisters"! Well, that's kinda what I was hoping to achieve. In reality, they're thin plastic square rods glued onto coloured card Thanks also for the comments about the level of detail in the ship. I'm getting to the point where I don't know when to stop. How much is too much detail? Mmmmm...not sure I know the answer to that! Cheers and all the best. Patrick

Thanks Greg! The chairs certainly were challenging to do, but great fun at the same time. I'm glad you like them. I've got only a few more things to add to this deck (Main Deck), before I'll be able to get back to the lower deck. It's been quite neglected and hence will take some time to do it justice. Thank once again! Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone Many thanks for all of your comments and Likes. I really appreciate them! Well, tonight, I did a bit more work on the galley, in particular adding more cupboards as well as a few little bit and pieces to add interest to the bench tops. The dining table in the main saloon also got a bit of treatment, namely the placemats for the hungry guests. Lastly, in response to Greg the Peg Leg Sailor's question about how I made the tiny dining chairs, I've done a quick diagram of the method I used. I hope it makes sense. All the best, everyone! Cheers Patrick

Hi Keith Your true skills as trained craftsman definitely shines through, especially with the quality of the joinery and your ability to choose woods which contrast beautifully. Mighty fine! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Mehmet I'm still amazed at what you do and how you do it! Just marvellously convincing. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Jond Launch day's not far off, from what I see! Exciting times. I look forward to seeing the hull underway. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Piet. Many thanks! I don't know about the inspiring bit, but, dang, I'm loving this build! I'm sure gonna miss working on her when she's finished. Thanks Vaddoc! Now that's one hell of a way to party! Bring it on!!! What a lifestyle, hey? Hi Bob. Thanks and I hope all's well at your neck of the woods. Hi Greg! Many thanks. Please say thanks to your Admiral. Tomorrow I'll try to draw a quick diagram about how I made the dining chairs. Surprisingly, they were far easier than you'd ever believe....well, at least once I figured how to do them, of course! All the best, everyone Cheers Patrick

Hi Piet Ahem.....we want pictures! We want pictures! We want pictures! We want pict.... Only teasing, of course! I can wait patiently. Chores first. Pictures will come in due time... Cheers Patrick

Marvellous work, Kees. The LEDs will most certainly bring the ship to life. I'm looking forward to the photos/video once they're in. Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone! Many thanks for all the comments and Likes! Tonight, as promised to Greg The Peg Leg Sailor, I've taken a couple of photos of the chairs in my hand. I've also done the dining chairs that go with the dining table in the main saloon...all eight of them. I hope you enjoy the following photos. Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Greg! I hope all's well with you and your family. Stay tuned and I'll post a few photos of the chairs in my giant hand! Thanks Denis!! Hi Nenad - Many thanks. All I can say is that ant-workers are looking pretty happy, at the moment! Hi Mark. Sorry to do that to ya! Tis fun working at this scale, though (well, for me, anyway!). Hi Carl. You're right! I actually put Majellan in the water the other day and, guess what? She very promptly sank!!!! Too heavy up top...Oh well.
