Hi Patrick

 

I'm happy to see you fully recovered and back to work - I enjoy your builds, and am envious of the speed you work at.  If I tried to accomplish as much in a short time my scrap bin would be overflowing.

 

Looks like the Majellan will be a really interesting project.

 

Hi Frank - Many thanks!  I must admit that the only reason that my model is taking so quick is because it's tiny compared to the larger scale builds, such as your Paragon for example.  Regardless of size though, it's all good fun!

 

 

Looks great! now you're not going to chop half of it away are you?

 

Michael

 

Hi Michael - thanks.  I doubt that I'd chop the side of the hull off this time(!!!)  because I'll make the superstructure able to be lifted off to reveal the interior details.  Should look good...I hope!

 

 

Cheers Frank and Michael!

G'day Patrick

That's a novel and SUPER idea! That will look great, and you don't have to cut into the beautiful lines of the hull.

Havagooday mate and remember do all the nasty cutting and sanding stuff in the fresh air. (Sounding like your dad) I'm sorry

Hi everyone

 

Many thanks for all your comments and Likes.

 

I've given Magellan's hull a coat of gloss black (see photos below).  Later on, I'll mask off the hull under water and paint it a matt red or blue.

 

You may also note that I've cut out the large anchor wells in the bow of the ship, as well as the hole for the bow thruster.

 

Still heaps of work to go!

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

The paint work looking perfect Patrick. I think your choice to use glossy paint is the right one!! :)

Hi Patrick,

 

the black paint is a bit unusual for a large yacht, but I trust it will look great when the other complement colors are on as well. The blue-greyish prime coat you had on the hull before always reminded me of the Color of the huge "Maersk line" Container carriers.

Looking foreward to more of your "Marjellan"

Hi Nils

 

Many thanks for your comments about the paint.  

 

You're right about the black paint being unusual, however, the real ship's hull is black, hence why I went for this colour.  Personally, I reckon she'd look better in a more traditional white coloured hull, but at least this way, she'll certainly stand out from the crowd!

 

All the best

The pretty lady in black, very becoming and proper.  Nice paint job Patrick!

[Omega1234]

Thanks Piet and Pete. Greatly appreciated.

[BenF89]

Wow. She looks even sleeker than before! Nice work. Can't wait to see how you treat the underwater hull.

[Omega1234]

Thanks Ben!

Hi everyone

 

Thanks for your comments and Likes! Greatly appreciated.

 

I couldn't resist...I was pretty keen to see what the colour combination of gloss black on the topside and Matt blue on the under hull would look like. So, I roughly taped it off with Tamiya tape and painted the bottom. It's a rough job, but I can always do it properly later on. At this stage, I'm more interested in just seeing what it'd look like. Not bad, I thought.

 

I also cut the lower deck and main deck templates. These will prove invaluable in helping to get the internal layout right.

 

Here are the results, so far.

 

Cheers

Hi Patrick

 

I like the color combination very much!

 

From the patterns it looks like this model will be crammed full of goodies - can't wait to see them.

[Omega1234]

Thanks Frank!

[dgbot]

Looks good Patrick what about a red or white stripe along the hull to contrast with the black?

David B

[Omega1234]

Hi Dave

 

Yep, I agree - a red stripe would really set her off, I reckon.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[GLakie]

That shade of blue make for a nice contrast Patrick!  Frank's right. It looks like there's going to me a lot of deck fittings going on. 

[Omega1234]

Thanks George. Doing the interal fit out will definitely keep me out of mischief for a while!

 

Cheers

Ah.. the basic black dress and the pearls coming up.   Sweet work, Patrick.

She looks very elegant and very fast.

G'day Patrick

Dave took the words from my mouth. That is what I thought! Love the gloss black, black to me means "a mean machine" to me, and this vessel is a 'super mean boat'.

Well done mate

Wow Patrick, looking at the interior layout drawings you have your work cut alright!  That'll keep you occupied for a while 

 

Cheers,

Your yacht model is looking very good so far, Patrick. The only thing I would say is that in real life a yacht of that size would also have a side thrust system in the stern like the bow. Keep up your great work, I am looking forward to more.
