To the King of Itty bitty scale:

The attention to detail is awesome. The paintings are a nice touch. 

Marcus 

Hi Marcus-Thanks!  I, also really like the addition of the photos and paintings.  They kinda give it an extra touch of realism.

just catching up with your log Patrick........totally mind blowing what you've accomplished here     the engine room and living quarters look awesome!

   had me fooled........I thought the big one was a flat screen      I can just imagine what your gonna do with your next one..........reserving a seat right now for it.  super job .........very well done   

Hi Denis-Thanks for your comments.  Genesis has been a whole lot of fun so far; allowing me to let my imagination run wild...hence, all the colourful decor.  Definitely not your boring interior, that’s for sure.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers

Love the art work, when did you start painting murals?

Hi Dave

Hah. Thanks!  I wish I could paint...with my level of skills, I could probably only manage to paint a blob...just!  Thanks for the compliments though. 

 Cheers

Hi Mark

Your ship’s boat looks really sweet!

Isn’t it nice when all your hard work pays off handsomely?  

Nicely done, for sure.

Nice additions Patrick.  It's easy to forget the scale you're working in until the giant thumbnail shows up in one of the photos.

Thanks Frank

The old giant thumb comes in very handy from time to time😉

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 

Cheers.

I see no blemishes or errors, Patrick. And yes, I'm wearing my glasses and screen zoom is at 115%.

Thanks Mark. We’re always our own worst critics, aren’t we. The thing is,. That at this teeny tiny scale, even half a millimetre out stands out like a sore thumb.

Nice going paddy, I see the owner likes reproductions ... no matter, would be a sin to keep them in such small spaces anyway  

Hi Carl. Yep, cheap reproductions, but what the heck, the originals are safely stored away in the safe at the owner’s mansion.  😂

Patrick, he could consider flogging his art collection and investing the proceeds in a sensible / stylish classic yacht. I see he / she isn’t into classical art. I’m not really surprised!!!!

 

You need to find the crappy photo setting on your camera, it is great for washing out the detail. All my cameras come with this as the default setting.

 

Amazing detail, just love it.

Hi Keith

Thanks for the compliments, but....Say what?????  If your camera has a ‘crappy default setting’, man oh man, I’d hate to see the photos of your model when it’s really in focus!  😉😉. 

Heheh. 

Have a great weekend. 

Cheers. 

Patrick

Thanks Pat!

Have a great weekend.

Patrick, It looks like your yacht owner scored a Jackson Pollack triptych and a  Keith Haring. Nice job!

Thanks Josh!  

Hehe...Nothing but the finest for your average mega-yacht billionaire!

Have a great weekend.

Nice details; have you had any sales enquiries yet - I am sure there are a few billionaires who would like to add this to their toy collection.

 

Ooops, sorry, forgot this was a model.

 

cheers

Transporter Room?

Sick Bay?

Holo Deck?

Dammit!  How could I have forgotten them ...!!!

Patrick - this is the traditional definition:-

 

Bodging (full name Chair-Bodgering) is a traditional woodturning craft, using green (unseasoned) wood to make chair legs and other cylindrical parts of chairs. The work was done close to where a tree was felled. The itinerant craftsman who made the chair legs was known as a bodger or chair-bodger.

 

However its more modern meaning is as follows:-

 

A person who makes or repairs something badly or clumsily.

 

 

Ahah! Thanks Keith. 

Isn’t it interesting to see how a definition can change markedly over time? Having said thatt...Far from being described by the modern interpretation, I am totally confident thatt you’d fall directly within the realm of a fine craftsman!

Cheers

Hi Patrick.  I'm running out of superlatives - all I can say is WOW!  For a 'work in progress' the paint looks really good.

Hi Frank 

No need for superlatives   Just having you onboard and able to enjoy the journey is good enough!

All the best😀

Cheers. 

Patrick

Hi folks.

Thanks for for all of your comments and feedback.  

Here is another quick update on Genesis. With the engine room basically complete, I’ve now started on the internal cabins on the lower deck. It all looks a bit messy at the moment, but pls bear in mind that nothing is glued down yet. Like the external paint job, it’s all still very much ‘work in progress’.

Have a great week.

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Nenad

I’m so sorry to hear about Adrian. You and your family have been through so much sadness lately.  

I hope and pray that life will bring you much love and friendship from now on; but I’m sure that Hothead and your daughter will continue to bring you the love and joy that you deserve. 

Stay strong. 

Patrick

Hi Vaddoc

Don’t you just hate it when things don’t go according to plan!  

No doubt things will work out once you’ve regrouped and gotten back on track. 

Cheers.

No, but I think my grandfather was a member of the worshipful company of bodgers.

Ok...now I have to figure out what a ‘bodger’ is...!

Very nice work, Keith!

Are you sure you don’t have ‘master craftsman’s genes In your DNA😊😊?

Cheers. 

Patrick

Hi Frank!

Just when I thought your boat couldn’t have any more detail, I now find you’re working on the dredges.  Talk about intricate work...but you’ll tackle them with aplomb, I’m sure.

Cheers. 

Patrick

Hi Phil

I’ve finally caught up with your ship.  Man, you’ve done a lot of work since I last looked in.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again...I love the way you just get in there and do it.  The result is lots of detail, lots of intricate parts being fashioned and most of all, 18 really impressive carronades/cannons.  Now, there’s just the masting and rigging....

Well done!

Cheers. 

Patrick

Happy Birthday Nenad!!!

Congratulations Marcus

You’ve done a marvellous job!  You must be justifiably proud of what you’ve achieved. 

Cheers. 

Patrick
