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

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

G'day Patrick

As you know, I've had some family issues lately, and this is the first time I've had a chance to catch up with your incredible log. Fantastic, unbelievable, breathtaking are just a few words that come to my mind. Inspiration is another and there are no faults with this model, trust me, it's only your mind playing tricks.

Could you please take photo with your hand as a size guide holding the dining chairs. It will blow me and others away.

Havagooday mate

Greg

 

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! 

 

 

looks super Patrick!  

 

Thanks Denis!!

 

There are definitely ant workers somewhere

 

Bravo!

 

Hi Nenad - Many thanks.  All I can say is that ant-workers are looking pretty happy, at the moment!

 

This makes my eyes and mind hurt... that's super tiny, Patrick and it looks great.

 

Hi Mark.  Sorry to do that to ya!  Tis fun working at this scale, though (well, for me, anyway!).

 

Pfff, with all those masterful crafted details, won't it get a bit heavy ... will it stay afloat ... You must have a basket full of ideas, for I my creativity would have been exhausted halfway the build ... Great work Patrick!!

 

Cheers

 

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.

Incredible work Patrick! Bravo!

 

I'm always amazed at how much detail you can pack into a tiny space.  Looks great, Patrick.

 

 

Thanks Frank and Igor!!!

 

Cheers

Hi Denis

As an avid follower of this build log, there's no doubt that it's certainly been a roller coaster ride, and a truly enjoyable one for sure.

I like where the Tree Boat's hull is heading.

Of course, with the original hull, the bonus is that your Andrea Gail will now have a sister, as well.

Nice!

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Frank

 

If I were you, I'd leave the starboard side completely unplanked. Why? Why cover up such beautiful and intricate work on the frames. Show it off, I say!

 

But, that's just my opinion, of course...

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Nenad

 

Mighty fine job on the deadeyes. They look great. You must have the patience of an angel to do all of them.

 

All the best.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Vaddoc

 

Great to see you back at the drawing board. I was beginning to wonder where you were at with the design work, but, as can be seen from your update, you're well and truly on your way.

 

I can only wish you good luck with the stern post!

 

All the best!

 

Patrick

Hi everyone

 

Progress has been a bit slow this week for a variety of reasons, but nevertheless, I've made the two wooden doors which lead from Majellan's main deck into the main saloon.  They're tiny, so I don't know how easily you'll be able to see them in the photos.

 

Also, in the lower deck, I've done the staircase which leads from that deck through to the main deck's saloon.  Again, it's hard to see, but here goes anyway.

 

All the best everyone!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Nils

 

Wow!  Nils, that third photo taken from the bow looks mighty fine!  

 

Then, of course, there's the planking which can be laborious to do, but oh, so worthwhile once done.

 

Nice!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

...just keep doing it the way you want to, Mehmet.  Only you have the vision of how you want it to turn out, so I'd say just go for it.

 

Looks great to me, that's for sure.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Bill

 

I hope the hand is not too serious and that it mends well.

 

I'm sure we'll all be waiting for your return to the shipyard.

 

All the best!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Thanks Elijah.

 

Have a great week!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

You're a real watchmaker, my friend. I followed very silently inconspicuously in the shadows, although, those were hard to find with such a radiant build. You do have a nack for this very small scale ... tremendously marvelous ...

 

Cheers mate!

Hey Carl

 

Many thanks!!! Nice to have you drop by, but, please promise me that you won't lurk in the shadows anymore. After all, I really value your comments (as I do for everyone else's, as well).

 

Stay well and I hope your new IT business is going well.

 

Cheers and all the best

 

Patrick

Hey Nils

 

Lovely detailed work, as always, but "oh my Gawd" that was a close call!

 

Please no more accidents like that...

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Frank

 

That's a hell of a lot of clamps, which no doubt will do the trick.

 

I'm really enjoying seeing what you're up to...and, to think that this is only the second ship you've built. Damn marvellous workmanship, I say!

 

Onwards to the next post on the viewing port!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Finally have the ketch hull ready for decking....Yay.....Now that's a hull....

Can't argue with that, Keith. She's a beauty, for sure.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Mehmet

 

Oh heck, that's really nice work!

 

I can almost picture her at sea now.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Very nicely detailed and convincing!

Hi Denis

 

OMGeeeeeeee! That's a lot of work, even for just a couple of weeks!

 

All I can say is, "I'm looking forward to this one".

 

All the best.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Kees

 

Like the other's have said, my thoughts are with your best health as well.

 

Take care.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick 

Yep, thanks Denis! Nothing like a good old pillow fight. Great for getting the frustrations out!

 

All the best.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

That's made a huge difference. Nice!

Nice job!  WouldI be right in thinking that she's now going at a more realistic scale speed than before, or, is that just my imagination?

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Still cant get over how small this model is. Stunning work Patrick!

Thanks FNick! I'm kinda addicted to small models; not just because they take less room to display them in, but, there's also something mesmerising about holding a finely crafted ship in the palm of your hand

 

 

.I like it this way, Patrick. As you say, it looks lived in. Now, if there were some towels lying around .... oops, there we go again.

 

 

By the way, have you ever used the lead foil from the neck of a wine bottle to serve as a fabric? It shapes really well and holds the shape. It's also a great reason to open another bottle of wine, as though we need a reason.

Hi Frank - I have actually been thinking about the towels, but couldn't really see how to do them realistically. Your idea about the lead foil may just work. Thanks!

 

Cheers
