[ Hi George - thanks heaps! The link is really useful and will get me off to a good start, I'm sure! quote name=mtaylor" post="384679" timestamp="1454186914]Sweet work, Patrick. Should we send you a Caterpillar D9 so you can scale the engine down? Yeah, I know.. wrong engine. Hi Mark! That'd be nice. I can always tell my wife- "Hey Honey. I shrunk the Caterpillar.....!" Hi Nils. I think I have a rough idea about what the Cat engine is. I'm hoping that George's link above will help me to get at least a rough idea of how to make a reasonable example. Thanks BDGiantman. Reading your comments has given me more confidence that I'm on the right track. Greatly appreciated, as always! Cheers and all the best, everyone! Patrick -
Hi Michael That scraping tool (ala Druxey) worked a treat! It really adds a special touch to the bulkhead. Nicely done. Cheers Patrick
-
Probably sad, but true, Pete. But, now that it's done, at least you can move forward with both hulls. Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Frank! Yep. Imagination's working for me. You know what they say..."when in doubt, fake it!!"
-
Thanks Nils. Now, I've got to do the two Caterpillar engines, or at least something looking vaguely similar. They should be fun!!

Hi folks! Thanks for all of your comments and Likes! I've managed to do a bit more work on the lower deck's accommodation as well as detailing some of the engine bay's myriad of assorted cupboards, drawers and a work bench. To be honest, I really have no idea what the interior of the engine bay really looks like because no photos of the real ship's interior are available. So....I'm using my imagination and whatever information I can glean from photos of similar sized luxury motor yacht's engine bays on the internet. Oh well, at least I'm trying to make it look convincing! Cheers and all the best. Patrick

...as we say in Australia - 'Bloody marvellous!!!" And, that's even in-spite of the cock up.

Hey Denis What a brilliant paint job! She's looking really swish, now. I have to admit that seeing your last photos, has reinforced in my mind just how large these full sized hulls must have been. I guess that's a case of 'form following function', given the large amount of fish that these ships would've carried. Nicely done, of course, as always! Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Pete She's looking better and better all the time, especially now that the keel and centre board housing, etc are being installed. Have you given her a name, yet? I'm looking forward to the first voyage. All the best! Patrick

Nice work as always, Denis!

Lovely work,Leo. The method to build the blocks looks interesting as well I'm looking forward to your next update. Cheers Patrick -
Hi Eibwen No spam at all, so there's no need to apologise! You've made a nice start to what should be an interesting ship. I'll be following along. Cheers Patrick

Well done, Nenad! Drilling into her hull, would've been nerve wracking for me, but your tests have proven that you've got no need to worry. Cheers Patrick- 4,151 replies

Hi Piet I have to agree with George and Mark. From everything I've seen, there's pretty much nothing that you can't do. Your O19 is a perfect example! I'm looking forward to your next update. Cheers Patrick

Hi Pete I really like the intricate look of the hull, now that the bent ribs have been installed. As for 'decision time', I'm not sure which way you're leaning at the moment. Nonetheless, I'm sure whatever you choose will be good. However, if it was me, I'd be going for the sailing version...but hey...no pressure! Cheers Patrick
-
Very nice work, Eibwen! Blurry shot, or not, there's no doubting the skill required to o what you've done. Keep it up! Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Pete I get the hint...maybe one day! Cheers Patrick

Hi Michael Now who's the tall handsome "male model" that's holding that beautiful hull in his hands??? Dunno, but whoever he is, he needs to be congratulated for his excellent work! Well done. Cheers Patrick
