AWESOME!  People in those circles normally don't put chairs back, the steward takes care of that job ;):rolleyes:  What a nice thought Patrick, making those chairs.  The details just keep coming.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Patrick, this is just more than amazing. That photo with all three decks spread out is beyond comprehension. Just so much detail to see. Congratulations on the chairs. Those are a wonderful touch.

Hi Mark- many thanks. Looking back now, all the heartache and head scratching I had about how to make the removable decks, are starting to pay off now. Thank heavens I persevered, because I reckon it was worth the effort. Thanks for your compliments! I kinda like the chairs, as well. Fiddly, but fun.

Hi Piet. You're absolutely right! These types of people never need to worry about the chairs, or anything else so mundane. What a life!

 

Now, why couldn't I be like that?

 

Cheers and all the best. Thanks, also, to everyone who hit the Like button.

And they're not just chairs, but designer chairs. Do you build the full size? I'll take a set.

 

Bob

Hi Bob! You're most welcomed to buy a set! Although I don't think Ikea should feel under threat ;););) .

 

love that picture with all three decks spread out.........very well done. chairs are no slouch either ;) such an awesome job !

Hi Denis - Thanks. I really like that photo, too. There's still another deck that isn't shown. That's the one inside the hull (below deck) which houses more accommodation, the engines and the tender garage. I might take another photo later one with all the decks exposed, for all to see. Thanks so much, once again!

 

All the best, guys!

 

Cheers

Hi Patrick, kudos for reaching your milestones. I too like the shot with all three decks the volume of detail that you are able to show at this small scale is quite remarkable, The bowls of fruit in the background alway put the scale into perspective for me.

Thanks Michael!

 

To be honest, I'm actually surprised at how much can be fiitted into these tiny models, as well. I guess, for me, it's a case of never knowing unless you try. I'm glad I did, because I reckon she looks pretty good.

 

Cheers and all the best.

Thanks Igor!

 

I'm thoroughly enjoying this build. Complex, complicated, challenging, but above all, great fun.

 

How're your boats going?

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Yes, Patrick, the solution of complex tasks increases the pleasure of working :)

I now have a small pause in the construction of the "Lena". But I started another project in the bottle. This is the story based on the novel Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea." :)

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Hi Folks

 

Here's a shot of Majellan in all her finery.  There's still a bucket load of more work to go, but at least you can start to get a sense of what's she's like inside.  The ship's tender and her two jet skis are also on display, having been removed from the tender garage at the stern.

 

***Igor - definitely looking forward to seeing your next beauty on the slipway.*** 

 

 

Cheers

Patrick

Now, how nice is this! Patrick this is not an accurate model, there is no way the real boat would feel as good.

Good to see fruit again in your photos!

I ll have a gin and tonic in the sun beds thank you very much!

I wonder where you get the oranges the size of beachballs?  Just hard to grasp all that detail in something that tiny.

Looking just great, Patrick! Wonderful job!

Steve

 

HI Steve - many thanks and I'm glad you like it.  How's your wonderful tugboat model going?

 

Now, how nice is this! Patrick this is not an accurate model, there is no way the real boat would feel as good.

Good to see fruit again in your photos!

I ll have a gin and tonic in the sun beds thank you very much!

 

HI Vaddoc - thanks for your great comments, which are always nice to receive.  The mandarin in the photo was a nice inclusion, I thought, as it'd make the jet skis look like tiny bugs.  

 

I wonder where you get the oranges the size of beachballs?  Just hard to grasp all that detail in something that tiny.  

 

 

Hi Mark - Heheh! Love it :P  :P  :P .  Kinda reminds me of Igor and his giant matchstick!!

Hi Michael - thanks! Sometimes I shake my head as well! Are you still working on your wonderful teeny tiny cutter? I'd love to see an update ....

 

Hi Patrick - these photos show how much work you've put into this one - fabulous!

Thanks Frank! Yep, there's been a fair amount of work put into her...it'd actually be kinda sad to finish her.

 

 

Thanks and all the best, guys!

 

Cheers

Keith

Thanks Keith!

 

It's a tight fit, I must admit. A lot depends upon the thickness of the material that I use for bulkheads, cabinetry, etc, because at this scale, it's inevitable that things can easily become over-scale. I guess that's just the trade off that one has when building at this tiny size. Fun though.

All the best!

Hi everyone!

 

Thanks for all of your comments and Likes - greatly appreciated.

 

Tonight I've had heaps of fun building a few more chairs in the main saloon and the bridge deck's lounge area.  In order to bring the whole ship to life, I added a whole series of colourful scatter cushions to them.

 

Here are the photos.

 

All the very best!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick
