Thanks Piet. Greatly appreciated! Yep, she's definitely coming together. Hope you're well. Cheers Patrick -
Hi Denis. Hehe. Love it. Well, that's very unsociable of Mr Clooney! Oh well, who needs these big name celebrities, anyway...although I guess it would've been pretty cool if he autographed your AG. Cheers Patrick

Hi Nils - thanks! "Party Time" on the Majellan. Sounds like a great idea! ...and who said that our hobby couldn't be fun! Hi Denis. Funny you mentioned about the weave! In actual fact, it was purely accidental and isn't cloth at all.. It's actually thin strips of cardboard from a box of Nespresso capsules. I don't know whether you have the same boxes over your neck of the woods, but here in Australia, the Nespresso boxes are black on one side and a light gold/brown on the other. I reckoned the two-toned effect looked pretty cool, so I went with it. George Clooney would be very pleased! All the best everyone and thanks for your Likes! Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone Another very quick update for you all. I've added the four reclining lounge chairs which sit on the rear of the Sun Deck. If you look closely (sorry about the dodgy photography on my part), you may just be able to make out two tiny tan coloured single chairs alongside one of the recliners. Just forward of all of this, you should also be able to see the three bar-stools in front of the outdoor bar. Who's up for a cocktail, then? Yep folks, slowly, but surely, Majellan's decks are coming to life! All the best, everyone and thanks for all of your Likes and comments. I love reading them! Cheers Patrick

Hey Mike Seriously gorgeous work. I reckon, after 18 months, that you're pretty chuffed and deservedly so! Keep the great work going! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Bob! I'm slowly realising that lifting the Sun Deck off repeatedly is fraught with risk as the umbrellas and radar domes, etc, etc, are fragile and can be easily damaged. So...I'll have to be super careful. Anyhow, I hope you're going well. How's the boat coming along? Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis. Many thanks for your nice comments, especially about the refinements, because I always reckon that it's those sorts of details that bring a boat to life (same as for your boats, as well). Last night I did the 4 lounge recliners that sit under the umbrellas on the Sun Deck. They're tiny, but add heaps of life to the overall ship. I'm going to do the other chairs, etc, as well. More photos to follow. Thanks Greg. I really appreciate your comments about Majellan and my new project, Mary Jean II. The MJII will most likely be built slightly larger than Majellan, but, of course it all depends upon how feasible it is building at 1/200 scale. Stay tuned! As for the umbrellas on Majellan, well, they're loosely located in their respective holes in the deck. At the moment, they're leaning over rather untidily, but once they're glued in, they'll be nice and straight. Hope both you and Denis are well! All the best Cheers Patrick

Hi Frank I, too would have a smiley face if I'd done what you've done. Beautiful work and congrats on reaching the milestone! Cheers Patrick

Hi Mark Thanks for the wow! I'm really enjoying building Majellan because she's totally unlike anything I've ever built before. Talk about a 'learning curve'.. All the best! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Bob Thanks. That's a great question! I'm probably going to have her displayed as a full ship, in the knowledge that I can take each deck off, as and when required. All the best! Cheers en Patrick
-
Hi Elijah - thanks and I hope you're well. Hi Frank - Thanks! ...talking about 'natural settings', I've been really tempted to see if she actually floats. Stay tuned. I may test her in the fish pond,

Hi everyone Another quick update. I've done a bit work on the paintwork. As I hope you can see from the glint off the hull and superstructure in some of the photos, I'm slowly achieving that glass smooth and shiny finish that I'm after. I'll just need a few more (dust free) coats before I'll be happy with it. Only then, can I return to detailing the interior. I've also had some fun doing the four large umbrellas which are situated on the Sun Deck, i.e. two at the rear of the deck and the remaining two are over the spa. Oh, and the twin radar domes are also done. I hope you all enjoy the photos! Cheers Patrick

Hi Keith - many thanks and you're right about the display space. In fact, the lack of space at home was the main reason why I gave up building RC ships because I was running out of room to store them. Building miniatures, therefore, was a no-brainer for me. Besides that, they're great fun and challenging. Hi Nils - yep, you're right. The Mary Jane II is one hell of a looker! Can't wait to start building her, but I've still got heaps of work on the Majellan to go before I can start. Thanks Denis - I never thought of it that way, but now that you've mentioned about 'ignoring that rule', I guess you're kinda right. As far as I'm concerned, I just give things a go...sometimes it works, other times, it doesn't HI Frank - Mmmm...The exercise room. Hadn't thought of the difficulties of that..gulp! Why do I do this to myself! Hi Piet - Many thanks and I'm definitely looking forward to building her. I hope you can follow along! Thanks to everyone who hit the Like Button, as well! All the best Patrick

Hi Denis Nice and neat! Cheers Patrick
-
Happy belated Birthday for the 28th, Elia!!! I hope you had a great day. Here's looking at many more to come. All the best. Patrick

Hi Michael Congratulations on the Art Exhibition. The proceeds going to the Syrian Refugees is no doubt a worthy cause. Nice work on the eyelets, as well. All the best with the art show. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Kees That sounds just like how real ships are built! I gotta admit that you're really getting me curious about this wooden ship that's soon to appear on the slipway. Any hints? Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Loved the poetry. Very much Dr Suess, I thought.
-
Thanks Keith! I really appreciate your comments. I don't know about the 'pure talent ' bit, but I sure am having fun! All the best. Patrick
-
Hi Mark I sense your frustration about not being able to find the exact drawings of the galleries. Nonetheless, what you're doing certainly seems to fit the bill. It'll look pretty darn perfect once done, for sure! Cheers and all the best. Patrick

Hi Nils and Greg Thanks for your query. I would like to post a photo of the plans taken from the Internet, but I'm unsure if that will contravene copyright regulations; especially given the problems that have recently occurred with the "Amazing Photos" thread. I'm currently checking with Chris Coyle about this. In the meantime, if you Google "Mary Jean II", then you'll see her. My model will be loosely based on that ship; fully detailed inside, of course! All the best Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Denis I feel your frustration at having pre-drilled the stanchion post holes, only to find that you'd done it too early! I reckon I must've done similar things many a time, before. I'm also intrigued about the foredeck planking. Mmmmmm, what have you got in store, especially if they won't be seen once done. Really nice work, as always! Cheers and all the best Patrick
