    Omega1234 got a reaction from IgorSky in Majellan by Omega1234 - FINISHED - 1/200 - Luxury 37 m Motor Yacht - Miniature   
    Hi Piet - many thanks for your compliment. I must admit that I'm pretty happy how she can fit in the palm of my hand.
     
     
    Hi Denis - thanks! You're right about having lots more to go, but as long as I'm having fun, it's all good to me. Although, I have to say, that it's hard to know what to tackle next because the list keeps getting longer and longer.
     
     
    Hi Greg- Thanks for your comments. I was also surprised at the relative size of the model when I saw the photo of it in my hand. For some reason, whilst working on her everyday, I'd lost sight of just how tiny she really was. A bit of a reality check, I guess.
     
    Thanks Mark. I reckon I'd love to do the same! I can just imagine cruising on her in our goldfish pond. A scary thought, though, when you think that our goldfish are actually bigger than the hull!
     
    Hi Pete - thanks and I really appreciate your comments. Still lots to go, but she keeps my mind ticking over constantly; which, can't be a bad thing!
     
     
     
    Hi Marty - thanks and I hope you're going well! 
    Cheers to all of you.

    Hi everyone
     
    Hope you're all well.  Progress has been slow this week, but I thought I'd show where I'm at with Majellan.
     
    The superstructure's painting and puttying continues, whilst I chase the glass smooth finish that I'm after.  I've also started work on the forepeak where the winches and other associated deck furniture will be stored.  The rear garage door and staircases haven't been touched since last week, so there's still lots of work to go before the stern is finished.
     
    Please see the photos below.
     
    Enjoy your weekends!
     
    Cheers

    Hi Glenn
     
    I'm not actually sure why, but, for some reason I've lost track of your log. I've gone through it now in total disbelief. To say that I'm totally gob smacked at what you've done, is an understatement. I can't even bend a brass wire without stuffing it up, which makes my admiration of your superb workmanship only more apparent.
     
    Unbelievable!
     
    Cheers and all the best.

    Wow Mark, you've been busy! Nice looking rudder. To my eye at least cutting the rudder and re-gluing looks much better than scribing would have.
