Thanks for the "likes" and to Carl and John.

Yes, "if at first you don't succeed, try and try again..." planking is a skill which I'm only in the beginning of acquiring. Of course I could have selected a softer wood than oak for a start, like birch. But I wanted the durability of oak since the item will be on public display in our church.
Note to self - "don't be hasty" as Merry puts it in Lord of the Rings. Planking cant be rushed. Well, well, it can only be better next time.
The over sized planks will also take a lot of sanding and then it will look much better.

now what? ... humm, where did I put those notes...

Totally awesome Patrick! I surmise we'll see some nice cushions near the hot tub too?? My bony rear end needs soft cushions to sit on

Cheers,

HI everyone

Many thanks for your comments and Likes. Greatly appreciated.

Here's my latest update: I've managed to paint the starboard engine and other associated details in the engine room. The jet skis and the ship's RIB tender have also received a second coat of paint with a new and better quality paint brush. The difference is much better than before, I must say.

Also, at the stern of the ship, I've started on the port and starboard stairs which lead from the main deck down to the diving platform. Still lots of cleaning up to do, of course.

Lastly, on the Sun Deck, I've put together the spa (which is the funny round thing) and a short series of steps for guests to use in order to climb from the deck into it.

Lots and lots of details, as well as filling, puttying and sanding to go, but it's fun and satisfying work, none the less.

All the best!

Cheers

Hi Dave

I'm just sitting here shaking my head in disbelief! I can't even imagine being able to replicate what you've done.

You, Sir, are doing one hell of a fabulous job on those carvings.

Cheers and all the best for the weekend.

Hi Nenad

Yes! You most certainly can do a great job on the steering wheel, even though you may doubt your ability to do so. From what you've showed us, there's nothing that you haven't been able to do so far.

I'm looking forward to your next update.

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Nenad

Fat fingers, or no fat fingers, Nenad, there's no denying that those pin-rails look great.

Hi Greg

Many thanks! I can't promise about the bubbles, but I can always try....

With respect to the stern door, yep, you're right because it's designed to be lowered to water level, thereby enabling the jet skis and tender to be launched and recovered.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Hi Pete. Cheers and many thanks!

Hi BDGiantman Thanks for your comments. Greatly appreciated!

Hi Mark Thanks and I really appreciate your comments!

Hi Elijah. Thanks for your comments and yep, I've designed each deck to be completely removable so that the interior can be viewed. I'd hate to have put all the work into the interior, without it being able to be enjoyed. Thanks once again.

Thanks Frank. Ironically, I do have an Optivisor, but for some reason, I haven't used it lately.

Come to think of it, it may come in handy the next time I open my wallet, afterall the cash is pretty hard to see...LOL!

Patrick,
It's always amazing how much detail you pack into such small models. I'm loving it and inspired.

Sorry if I forgot, but is the top removable? That way, it would be easy to show your fine work to guests ! As usual, it looks amazing!
