There are definitely ant workers somewhere

 

Bravo!

[mtaylor]

This makes my eyes and mind hurt... that's super tiny, Patrick and it looks great.

[cog]

Pfff, with all those masterful crafted details, won't it get a bit heavy ... will it stay afloat ... You must have a basket full of ideas, for I my creativity would have been exhausted halfway the build ... Great work Patrick!!

 

Cheers

[Omega1234]

Incredible work Patrick! Bravo!

 

I'm always amazed at how much detail you can pack into a tiny space.  Looks great, Patrick.

 

 

Thanks Frank and Igor!!!

 

Cheers

G'day Patrick

As you know, I've had some family issues lately, and this is the first time I've had a chance to catch up with your incredible log. Fantastic, unbelievable, breathtaking are just a few words that come to my mind. Inspiration is another and there are no faults with this model, trust me, it's only your mind playing tricks.

Could you please take photo with your hand as a size guide holding the dining chairs. It will blow me and others away.

Thanks Greg!  I hope all's well with you and your family.  Stay tuned and I'll post a few photos of the chairs in my giant hand! 

 

 

looks super Patrick!  

 

Thanks Denis!!

Bravo!

 

Hi Nenad - Many thanks.  All I can say is that ant-workers are looking pretty happy, at the moment!

 

This makes my eyes and mind hurt... that's super tiny, Patrick and it looks great.

 

Hi Mark.  Sorry to do that to ya!  Tis fun working at this scale, though (well, for me, anyway!).

Hi Carl.  You're right!  I actually put Majellan in the water the other day and, guess what?   She very promptly sank!!!!  Too heavy up top...Oh well.

[Omega1234]

Hi everyone!

 

Many thanks for all the comments and Likes!

 

Tonight, as promised to Greg The Peg Leg Sailor, I've taken a couple of photos of the chairs in my hand.  

 

I've also done the dining chairs that go with the dining table in the main saloon...all eight of them.   

 

I hope you enjoy the following photos.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Your boat begs for a crazy party Patrick, bar men preparing tequila cocktails with straw umbrellas, ice cold beer and wine, waiters carrying platters of finger food and fruit salad, music…Brilliant work, really lovely!

Fantastic work Patrick, really inspiring.

Hi Piet. Many thanks! I don't know about the inspiring bit, but, dang, I'm loving this build! I'm sure gonna miss working on her when she's finished.

Thanks Vaddoc! Now that's one hell of a way to party! Bring it on!!! What a lifestyle, hey?

 

Great work, Patrick. Thanks for the photos.

Hi Greg! Many thanks. Please say thanks to your Admiral. Tomorrow I'll try to draw a quick diagram about how I made the dining chairs. Surprisingly, they were far easier than you'd ever believe....well, at least once I figured how to do them, of course!

 

All the best, everyone

 

Cheers

Hi everyone

 

Many thanks for all of your comments and Likes. I really appreciate them!

 

Well, tonight, I did a bit more work on the galley, in particular adding more cupboards as well as a few little bit and pieces to add interest to the bench tops.

 

The dining table in the main saloon also got a bit of treatment, namely the placemats for the hungry guests.

 

Lastly, in response to Greg the Peg Leg Sailor's question about how I made the tiny dining chairs, I've done a quick diagram of the method I used. I hope it makes sense.

 

All the best, everyone!

 

Cheers

G'day Patrick

Beautiful and amazing details. The cupboard in the last photo of the ship is so tiny, but having 4 compartments on the doors......simply mind boggling.

The way you done the chairs looks quite easy and simple, but on your scale.....what csn I say? Mind boggling again. I'm repeating my self because my brain in numb...

Havagooday mate

Greg

[Omega1234]

Thanks Greg!

 

The chairs certainly were challenging to do, but great fun at the same time. I'm glad you like them.

 

I've got only a few more things to add to this deck (Main Deck), before I'll be able to get back to the lower deck. It's been quite neglected and hence will take some time to do it justice.

 

Thank once again!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[mtaylor]

Patrick,

 

This jaw-dropping.  There's more detail in this than models a hundred times her size.   Are those "kitchen canisters" on the red cloth on the stove..?

Hi Mark

 

Thanks!!! You're right about the 'kitchen canisters"! Well, that's kinda what I was hoping to achieve. In reality, they're thin plastic square rods glued onto coloured card

 

Thanks also for the comments about the level of detail in the ship. I'm getting to the point where I don't know when to stop. How much is too much detail?

 

Mmmmm...not sure I know the answer to that!

 

Cheers and all the best.

 

Patrick

[Piet]

Now you have done it Patrick, my mind is boggled, which is not a good thing for an old man

Enough detail will come when you'll say "enough."  In the meantime keep adding.

 

Cheers,

I think we all have caught the "Patrick's mind blogging syndrome"

Hi Patrick,

 

Absolutely wonderful to see your progress - had to do a 'binge' catch-up again, as I've been neglecting MSW updates for a while.

 

I'm hoping to get back to the Doll Boat soon. I've been busy with outdoors stuff and work stuff, plus a bit of a problem-solving slump. Lots of staring and head scratching, but not much of a plan yet...

 

Take care!

[Omega1234]

Hi Patrick

 

I take my hat off to you as you sure do know how for sure just how to add so very much very fine detail and make things all fit together so well and still not have that clutter y look, WELL NONE, ENJOY

 

 

Regards Lawrence

 

Hi Lawrence

 

Thanks for your compliments. I'd have to say that the 'cluttered' look is one of the biggest problems I face when building at this scale. A lot depends upon the thickness of the materials I use. The thinner the better, (within reason of course).

 

I'm really glad that you like her.

 

Thanks and all the best!

Hi Ben

 

Great to hear from you again! Hope all's well.

 

Thanks for your comments about Majellan's journey. Greatly appreciated.

 

Don't be in too much of a hurry with the Doll Boat. Sometimes I find the best thing to do is to walk away for a while, after which I find that the problems have often solved themselves.

 

Good luck, nevertheless and I look forward to seeing your next updates.

 

Cheers

Hi everyone

 

Well.....it's been a sad day for Majellan.  I now know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Majellan cannot fly, or even float like a bee!      

 

You see, I was carrying the ship to the table to work on, when she fell off her stand onto our floor tiles.  All I can say is that the crunch as she hit the floor was NOT nice.  Bits and pieces went flying everywhere.  On the bright side, once I picked the pieces up, I soon learned that the actual structural damage wasn't as bad as feared.  As you can see, the radar dome structure was broken, as was a large chunk of the bow.  Thankfully, the rest of the damage was fairly minor, apart from the interior details taking a bit of a knock.

 

What can I say; we build'em tough, here in Australia!

 

My project for tonight is to fix and recuperate.

 

Wish me luck!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

 

 

[fnick]

Hi Patrick

 

Ouch! I feel your pain... . However knowing your capabilities I have full confidence you'll get her back to where she was in no time!

Bad night Patrick

I'm not pressing like on your log about the disaster! I'm so glad that there wasn't anymore damage. I assume that heart has dropped a beat or two. She's a sound boat Mattie and it will soon like new.

Btw use a bottle of champagne not the floor when you want to Christian the ship.

Allthebest

Greg

[Omega1234]

Thanks Greg

 

I'm just going through the internal stuff to see what's damaged and, luckily, although some stuff has come apart, it's all easily fixable.  Thank God.

 

With respect to the christening, I think I'll take your advice about the champers!  Definitely a better idea than the floor....

 

All the best

 

Patrick

Hi Patrick - wow, bad luck.  I know you'l get it back together, but I'm sure it's not a happy time for you right now. After the fixing it will probably be like new, based on your skills.

[Omega1234]

Thanks Frank!  I think I need to go to Confession after saying a few naughty words, though....

[Mirabell61]

Hi Patrick,

 

now that the first shock has overcome it`s fear, and the crew could report the degree of damage to the skipper, I trust you are undertaking the mending process these days. Wish you a lucky hand with the repair. You certainly shall get the "Majellan" to look nice and crisp again....
