I love your jet ski's! They will look even better once painted!

Thanks Elijah

 

You're right about the painting, because it's only then that they'll really pop and look great.

 

Thanks once again.

 

Cheers

G'day Patrick 

Amazing details on the tiny jet skis. All I can say mate, you have a very steady hand and great eyesight. They look so real, ready to do wave jumping and spinouts.

Hey Pat do you have any small waterbugs that would ride those skis?

Hi Greg

 

Thanks! I reckon a steady hand is an absolute must...I can't tell you how many times the tiny hulls disappeared on the floor. I was getting a tad frustrated by the end of the night.

 

Cheers and all the best!

Hi Dave

 

Not water bugs, but our garden has heaps of ants at this time...rotten buggers, they are. But, I reckon one or two of them could easily jet ski down the pond's waterfall. That'd be fun!

Hi Marty

 

Sick. Yep, you're right....but my mother had me treated! Just didn't work; that's all!

 

Cheers and all the best!

Outadisworld Patrick!  They look fantastic - what an achievement.  What's the length of those buggers, one finger digit?  That miniature stuff can only be done by crazy people ;)

I hope I can do the same someday - - - when the time comes.  At least I can then prove that I am really nuts

 

Cheers,

Amazing Patrick.   Just amazing.  I don't think your crazy... or at least any crazier than the rest of us.

[popeye the sailor]

your pull'in my leg............get out!     they look GREAT!!!   paint'em.........with what....a micro brush???  I can just see you with a magnifying glass and a tinnie tiny brush.......OK...  no more joking.......they do look fantastic Patrick....the shape.....the handles.......perfect!

 

 

now.....I don't want to sound like a back seat driver on noth'in.......but could you make that other engine.   with only a starboard side engine.....I'm tires of going around in a circle

I know what you mean. My work area is so messy, but tje floor is clean. I always have to sweep up to find things that I have dropped.

Hi Greg - messy workplaces are a sign of productivity, which can only be a good thing!

Hi Denis - Got it! The port side engine will be next on my list. That'll at least guarantee that Majellan can move in a straight line! Thanks also, for your comments about the jet skis...and, yes, a micro-brush would be useful.

 

 

Amazing Patrick.   Just amazing.  I don't think your crazy... or at least any crazier than the rest of us.

Hi Mark - thanks. We are a crazy lot aren't we? But at least we have fun, doing it!

Hi Piet - Thanks for the compliments....but...Trust me. You're not crazy for contemplating the small stuff and a jet ski would be easy peasy for you. As for me, well, I've got a long way before I reach your standard, but I'm still having fun! I also measured the hulls and they're a teeny tiny 13mm long.

 

All the best, everyone

Thanks Pete

 

I was dreading the thought of doing the tiny jet skis, but in actual fact, they turned out to be easier than expected.

 

I'm just in the process of painting them now.

 

More pictures soon.

 

Cheers

Hi everyone

 

Many thanks for all of your Likes and comments!

 

Well, so far, I've managed to give the jet skis and the engine their first coat of paint. I'm a bit disappointed about the quality of the first coat of paint because I'm using an old brush, which isn't the best for fine painting. I'll need to buy a new one before I paint anything else.

 

I've also started on the starboard engine, which remains unpainted. There's still lots of work to go, of course.

 

Here're the photos below.

 

All the best!

Amazing work Patrick! 

[popeye the sailor]

fantastic!   what the heck.....just touch 'em up.........the jet skis look fine      port engine......{see,  you were getting dizzy too   } looks super......painted up,  it will look just like it's brother.   wonderful update my friend !

[Omega1234]

Amazing work Patrick! 

Hi George - many thanks, as always.

Hi Denis - many thanks! You're right about the dizziness. Let's hope that the addition of the starboard side's engine will help her to move straight, now.

 

Cheers

[Mahuna]

Looks great Patrick - just a little touch-up here and there.  What strength magnification do you use when working on it?

[pete48]

Hey Patrick, The Jet Skis look great, beautifully done, do I need to pack a lunch or is the galley fully stocked?

 

Best Regards,

Pete

[steamschooner]

Looking just amazing... 

[UpstateNY]

Great stuff Patrick....really fun to follow along with you and I knew you would do a great job on the jet skis!  

 

Cheers,

Denis has hit the nail on it's head with this statement!

You are too bloody fussy. The slightly messy paintwork only shows up in when you blow up the photo. At your scale no one will see it.

Havagooday mate.

Stunning, amazing - - - fantastic job Patrick.  Okay, a new 000 sable brush and you're in business. 

I'm enjoying your successful work.

 

Cheers,
