G'day Patrick

Your imagination do you justice mate.but don't forget the LED displays monitors on the wall. And the large box of red sidchrome spanners.

Havagooday mate

Greg

Hi Greg

 

Thanks! I can't say that the LED lights would be easy, but, it'd be fun trying!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

 

 

Patrick,

 

there are quite a lot of model engines (Revell, etc....) on the web, but all in too large scales. You mentioned once ..."rough guess about 1:200",  for your model there seems to be a vacuum for availability model wise. Perhaps there are some resin tank-models with visible engines for kits. It looks like you will need to build your own engines, but that`s challenging and fun as well.

 

Nils

Hi Nils

 

Thanks. Given the scale of the boat, the engine would only be about a centimetre long. Although, I'll try to fit in as much detail as possible, it'll never be totally accurate. As long as it looks passable, I'll be happy.

 

All the best!

 

Patrick

[robnbill]

Thanks George!

 

All the best for Christmas and 2016! The watch was a gift to me that I bought from my redundancy payout. Not that I needed another watch, but this one was too good to walk away from. I just had to buy it!!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Patrick,

You are doing a fantastic job on this and at such  small scale. I apologize for not being on here sooner. It is really fun to see it come together.

 

And you cannot have too many watches!

[Omega1234]

Hi Bill

 

Many thanks and you're right about not having enough watches, although my wife would disagree.  On the other hand, both I and the Swiss Watch industry would think there's never enough, either!  

 

All the best!

 

Patrick

[Piet]

Very nice progress Patrick, she's looking great.  A one cm cat engine, with all the "stuff" hanging on it, now that's a challenge and a half.  But - - - you're up to it!

 

Cheers,

[Omega1234]

Thanks Piet!

 

I hope that I'm up to it, too.  Otherwise, if it looks crappy, I'll make sure that my photos will be 'accidentally-but-purposefully' blurry!!!!!       

 

Let's hope not, though!  But, it'll be fun, nonetheless.

 

Cheers and all the best.

Worse case scenario, Patrick.  Paint the engine room and the engines black.  No one will know.  

[captainbob]

I said it before and I'll say it again. "You know that what you are doing is impossible."  But it looks fantastic.

[Omega1234]

Thanks Bob!

[popeye the sailor]

very nice detail Patrick........with the imagination your putting into her,  you'll have no problem whipping up a cat engine  

[Omega1234]

Thanks Denis! Yep..I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with the engines.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[Omega1234]

Thanks Lawrence. Greatly appreciated. It keeps me off the streets!

[vaddoc]

Love those cupboards and the bench Patrick, very nice work, can't wait to see the engine room completed!

[Omega1234]

Thanks Vaddoc! Me too.

Hi folks

 

Thanks for all of your comments and Likes!

 

Well, I'll be damned!  These Caterpillar C32 Marine Diesels are going to be the death of me!  I've already built one engine, along with some pipework and I've come to the conclusion that I need Igor and Piet's skills to make a real go at it.  But, at slightly less than a centimetre long, let's be realistic about how much detail I can actually add to them.

 

I've persevered, though and, have come up with something that looks relatively realistic (well, to me, anyway!).  Please bear in mind that the painting still needs to be done.

 

Please see the photos below.  

 

Cheers and all the best!

 

Patrick

[GLakie]

Looks great Patrick! Especially considering the size!  Paint will make all the difference. Is there going to be one engine on each side? 

[Omega1234]

Yep and many thanks, George.  Two engines and associated pipe work etc; one on each side.

 

Once the engine room's done, then I can start on the ship's tender and jet skis.

 

Now, they'll be fun!

 

All the best

That engine is so small ! And you're making two of them!

[Mahuna]

Hi Patrick - your work at such small scale continues to impress.

 

I came across the attached luxury submarine and thought it would be a very interesting next build for you.  Note the price of the real thing - $78,000,000!

Hi Frank

 

Now, that would be fun to make, not to mention, challenging! 78mil, though. Wow!

 

Thanks for sharing the info!

All the best!

Looks like marine diesel to me, Patrick.  I don't think I'd try to put the Caterpillar logo on the rocker cover, however.

I looked that over... nice concept but...  the acrylic hull/viewports makes me nervous and there's no maximum dive depth listed.  I like it and it would be great for me, a couple of minions in spiffy uniforms and a white cat to get to the dead volcano island.   

[dgbot]

Patrick I think it about time you set up a session with Dr Per for therapy.  As for the sub nice idea and some rich kid will pick it up and use it for showing off to the ladies.

Hi David

 

Thanks, but I think I'm beyond therapy at this stage! Not even Dr Per can help....

 

As for the sub, well, you're right. What a 'chick magnet'.

 

Cheers and all the best

Hi Mark

 

I actually hadn't thought of putting Caterpillar on the rocker cover. Damn. Now, I have to try!!! All thanks to you....LOL

Hi Mark

 

I'd like it as well. Imagine having a real life sub of your own!

 

One Powerball....

 

All the best!

Oooooh, I can already hear them diesels purring!  Looking very realistic from here Patrick with or without the Caterpillar logos.  What a challenge, what a great job.

 

Cheers,

Thanks Piet!!

G'day Patrick

amazing details in the engine! I've got a stupid question: Does the engine actually work? I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

Stay cool mate

Thanks Greg. There's no such a thing as a silly question. In my mind, the engine works perfectly well. In reality, however, not so well.  In reality, there's no hope for me, at all!

 

Cheers

looks good Patrick........once you get both of them in there......you'll see.   they'll fill out the area and with paint,  the added detail will make 'em pop!  nice job my friend!
