SHADOW by Omega1234 - Scale 1/300 - Luxury 60m Mega Yacht - Finished


Recommended Posts

Difficult to add any more than has been said Patrick.  Amazing details and such a small scale. I will have ships boats to build about the same size, but i won't need to add any where near as much detail. I would struggle to build a model as good as you have even with my magnifier.

Are you going to place her in a diorama, maybe moored at the Yacht club.:cheers:

Hi Paul

 

Welcome aboard and thanks for joining Shadow's journey.  I'm pleased that you like her!

 

Thanks also, for the suggestion about the diorama.  Mmm...food for thought.  Who knows...I may give that some serious consideration:D

 

Thanks and I hope that you can drop by often.

 

Cheers

Hi everyone!

 

Here's a quick update on Shadow's internal accommodation, principally the saloon at the rear of the Upper Deck. 

 

This saloon is where the guests relax on the large settees, all the while enjoying the latest Walking Dead episodes on the big screen TV.  What a life, heh?

 

Lots of fun to go.

 

I hope you enjoy the photos.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Greg.  Many thanks!  Not sure about the Suround Sound system. Rumour has it that I did actually make it, but that it mysteriously flew off the tweezers and disappeared prior to installation.  Well....that's my story and I'm sticking to it😉 .

Hello Patrick

 

Just when I thought that you could no better than your previous build you turn around and do this fantastic job on Shadow, I am truly lost for words to describe your great feats.  Your Master Sweet is stunning, with so very much detail. I often wonder just how you get it all in and make it look so good and very realistic at the same time, WELL DONE,                                  ENJOY.

 

Regards   Lawrence

Hi Lawrence.  Thanks!  I'm glad you like Shadow.  You know, I reckon that she's looking better than Majellan because I'm able to successfully avoid all the mistakes that I made in Majellan. Nothing like learning from one's mistakes, hey?

 

 

Thanks also, to all who hit the Like button.

 

Have a great weekend, folks

Sh#t happens mate. Hope that you will find it. All you need is a large magnifying glass and luck.

Hi everyone

 

I hope you're all doing well!  I've been working a bit more on the furniture in Shadow's Upper Deck's saloon.  Principally, Shadow now has her mini-bar set up, a small coffee table, and a small three seater settee with black cushions and two gold scatter pillows on it.  On the other side of the saloon, I've added purple/mauve cushions to the expansive settee that adorns the large screen TV sitting area.  I've also added gold patterned surfaces on the wall, just to give a bit more "mega-yacht glitz and glamour'.

 

I hope you enjoy these photos.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

A quick update:  I've just added the table and chairs to the outdoor aft-deck space of the Upper Deck.

 

I hope you're enjoying Shadow's progress.

Patrick,

 

Had to do some catching up. I like the pict where you hold her in front of the light. Nice progress on the interior too.

Hi Carl

 

Great to hear from you.  I hope all's well at your neck of the woods.

 

Incidentally, I have to agree with you about that particular photo.  It's my favourite too.  I love the way some of the interior can just be glimpsed because of the backlit windows.  Nice!

 

Have a great week.

 

Cheers

Hi folks

 

Thanks for your comments and Likes!  Much appreciated as always.

 

A quick update:  It seems that after a crappy day at work today, I'm now having way too much fun working on some of Shadow's deck furniture.  In particular, I've created another 12 seater table that adorns Shadow's Sun Deck, (this deck is her uppermost deck).  Also located on the Sundeck are three of those luxurious sun lounges, you know the ones in which the bikini-clad super models drape themselves over.

 

I hope you all have a great Friday and weekend.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Great progress Patrick, like the dinner table arrangement but the table needs some stuff on top though ;)  Really LIKE the back-lit shots of Shadow, masterly one my friend.

I also like the back-lit photos.  Strangely,  they weren't intentional.  Instead, I was just mucking around with the camera Nd accidentally took the first shot.  Mmmm, not bad, I thought!

 

Thanks also, for the advice about the bare table.  I'm working on it!

 

Have a great weekend.

 

Cheers

Are you planning on putting little supermodels on your super model?  Wow, the photo of the chaise on your finger really brings home the scale you're working in.  Great work!

Hi Frank

 

You know, I actually was contemplating trying my hand at making some super-models.  However, with my poor level of carving abilities, sadly, they really would be 'stick figures'.  If that were the case, my stick-figured super models would never grace the latest fashion mags ever again!

 

Oh well..I know my limitations!

 

Cheers

Hi everyone

 

Thanks for your Likes and following along.  Greatly appreciated.

 

Over the past few days, I've continued to add a bit more to Shadow's Sun Deck, principally, the large white sun baking settee situated on the aft of the deck.  To add further interest, I've added some different coloured scatter cushions.  I've also started to flesh out a bit more of the detailed work surrounding her spa, situated at the forward end of the Sun Deck.

Lastly, I thought I'd take some photos of Shadow alongside photos of the real ship that Shadow is based upon (i.e. Mary Jean II). As you can see, I've got a long way to go before I can truly say that Shadow's finished.

Hi Denis 

 

Many thanks for the compliments!  I'm not actually a Walking Dead fan, but I remembered that you are, judging by the references you've previously made in your logs. I reckoned you might get a kick out of it😏!

 

Meanwhike, I've been a bit slack lately and because of that, I've got a lot of catching up on a whole bunch of logs; yours included. Maybe this weekend. 

 

Have a great day. 

 

Cheers

G'day Patrick 

Bloody beautiful job. It's hard to spot the difference between the real ship and your model. 

I love the back light shot as well.

Keep up the great work and of course the logs.
