Omega1234 reacted to Mirabell61 in HMS Pegasus 1776 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:64 - 16-gun sloop
Thanks Marc,
for your nice words. Before I started sewing my own sails I had neighther experience with the sewing machine, nor doing narrow hems. One day I had the idea of using the zic-zac stitch function, by laying the "bolt rope" in the middle of the foreseen zic-zac layed over the rope, and then folding it in the produced hem area. It took some Trials practicing the correct Parameters of the stitch Settings, but then it worked out fine. Wish you good success with your sewing of the next sails

Naturally aging brass seems like a good idea, Michael. Nice to read that you are getting back your groove.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. As others have said, it's the memories that we have that are important now. I hope the memories are all fond ones and put a smile on your face.

Words are not easy at times, most of us experience what you are at the present time. Cherished memories help us through these moments of deep loss, both now and in the future. My condolences to you and your family.

Omega1234 got a reaction from canoe21 in Symphony by Omega1234 - FINISHED - 1/200 scale - 112' Ketch
Hi everyone
Guess what? Symphony's completed (well, about as completed as it can be at the moment-there's still some minor things to do, but I'm too eager to get started on my next boat, so I'll leave them for another day).
I'd like to thank all of you for your comments, compliments and Likes. I can't tell you how much they mean to me.
So, simply put, many thanks.
Here are the latest photos.
Cheers and thanks

Omega1234 got a reaction from canoe21 in Symphony by Omega1234 - FINISHED - 1/200 scale - 112' Ketch
Hi everyone!
Well, I'm almost at the finished line. Symphony now has her rudder installed, as well as her auxiliary propeller (which still needs painting). But, most importantly, I've been working on her display stand. There's still more work to be done on the final design of the supporting struts to make them as unobtrusive as possible; so as to give the impression of Symphony 'floating' above the display board. I'll do the same with her tender as well.
Hope you enjoy the photos.
Cheers

Hi everyone!
Tonight I added the gold cove-stripe along the sheer line of the hull and a black line above the waterline. At the stern, I also added the gold pin-striping and also a small, but, simple motif to add that 'final' decorative touch to the transom.
I hope you enjoy the photos!
Cheers

Hi everyone, especially those who commented and hit the Like button. Greatly appreciated!
Sorry Carl - you're right. My problem is that I can't think fast enough and my honesty often gets the best of me!!!! Oh well...
Anyway, tonight I painted the tender and added a bit more detail. But alas, no propeller yet! Just saying....
I hope you enjoy these photos.
Cheers

Hi everyone
Well, in a few photos of the full sized boat, I've noticed a rigid-hulled-inflatable tender tied up alongside. So, I had a go at trying to build one. Here's the result, complete with a teeny tiny outboard motor (albeit a simplified version of one), hanging off its transom. I still need to add a few more details, such as the steering wheel and the rope grab rails hanging off the sides of the hull.
I hope you like it!
Cheers and thanks

Hi everyone
Another quick, but important update - Symphony's now sporting her full set of sails. Although they're still temporarily rigged, they at least give oneself an indication of what the final look will be....which, to my mind, isn't too bad.
Not long to go, now folks....before Symphony plays her last concerto and a new ship will arise on the slipway!
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy these photos.
Cheers and all the best!

Hi Mike, Piet, Vaddoc, Lawrence, Frank, Nick, Ben, Igor, Cog and Marty
Many, many thanks for all of your feedback and comments and the Likes. Always greatly appreciated!
Marty-not sure about my next project, but, I'm itching to start something. It maybe Bruce King's "Whitefin", or the replica of the Brittania sailing yacht, or maybe even a catamaran with a fully detailed interior.
So many ideas on my wish list...!
Cheers

Omega1234 got a reaction from Panagiotis in Kilkis ex Mississippi (BB-23) by Panagiotis - FINISHED - scale 1:100 - Greek Battle Ship
Hi Panagiotis
Marvellous work and congratulations on a truly beautiful model. You've got to be really chuffed with it!
I'd also imagine that your ship generated a fair bit of interest during the exhibition, especially seeing as it's a Greek warship.
Additionally, like you, I'm keen to see the water shots, so, hopefully it'll be a quick winter.
All the best!
