Hi Glenn After viewing such beautiful craftsmanship as yours, it reinforces the fact that it's hard to put a price on a finely crafted ship model. I think the term "priceless " is entirely appropriate in your case. Just marvellous! Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of your comments and Likes - greatly appreciated. Tonight I've had heaps of fun building a few more chairs in the main saloon and the bridge deck's lounge area. In order to bring the whole ship to life, I added a whole series of colourful scatter cushions to them. Here are the photos. All the very best! Cheers Patrick

Hi Mike I can't add any more compliments to those that have already been given, because your work is outstanding! I also love the shape and beauty that your hull has. You've most certainly done it justice. Wel done. Cheers Patrick

Thanks Keith! It's a tight fit, I must admit. A lot depends upon the thickness of the material that I use for bulkheads, cabinetry, etc, because at this scale, it's inevitable that things can easily become over-scale. I guess that's just the trade off that one has when building at this tiny size. Fun though. All the best! Patrick

Hi Michael - thanks! Sometimes I shake my head as well! Are you still working on your wonderful teeny tiny cutter? I'd love to see an update .... Thanks Frank! Yep, there's been a fair amount of work put into her...it'd actually be kinda sad to finish her. Thanks and all the best, guys! Cheers Patrick

HI Steve - many thanks and I'm glad you like it. How's your wonderful tugboat model going? HI Vaddoc - thanks for your great comments, which are always nice to receive. The mandarin in the photo was a nice inclusion, I thought, as it'd make the jet skis look like tiny bugs. Hi Mark - Heheh! Love it . Kinda reminds me of Igor and his giant matchstick!!

Hi Folks Here's a shot of Majellan in all her finery. There's still a bucket load of more work to go, but at least you can start to get a sense of what's she's like inside. The ship's tender and her two jet skis are also on display, having been removed from the tender garage at the stern. ***Igor - definitely looking forward to seeing your next beauty on the slipway.*** Cheers Patrick

Thanks Michael! To be honest, I'm actually surprised at how much can be fiitted into these tiny models, as well. I guess, for me, it's a case of never knowing unless you try. I'm glad I did, because I reckon she looks pretty good. Cheers and all the best. Patrick

Hi Bob! You're most welcomed to buy a set! Although I don't think Ikea should feel under threat . Hi Denis - Thanks. I really like that photo, too. There's still another deck that isn't shown. That's the one inside the hull (below deck) which houses more accommodation, the engines and the tender garage. I might take another photo later one with all the decks exposed, for all to see. Thanks so much, once again! All the best, guys! Cheers Patrick

Hi Mark- many thanks. Looking back now, all the heartache and head scratching I had about how to make the removable decks, are starting to pay off now. Thank heavens I persevered, because I reckon it was worth the effort. Thanks for your compliments! I kinda like the chairs, as well. Fiddly, but fun. Hi Piet. You're absolutely right! These types of people never need to worry about the chairs, or anything else so mundane. What a life! Now, why couldn't I be like that? Cheers and all the best. Thanks, also, to everyone who hit the Like button. Patrick

Hi folks Thanks for all of your comments and Likes. Love'em! Well, something of a minor milestone for me occurred tonight - I was able to do the outdoor chairs that surround a large round table on Majellan's Bridge Deck. All in all, there are ten of them. In case you're wondering why they're positioned messily around the table, it's because I wanted to give the impression of the guests just getting up to leave the table without putting their chairs back neatly. The reason why I consider this to be a milestone is because I never thought I could do them....but, I persevered and voila! All the best! Cheers Patrick

About the NRG
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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
