Hi folks. 

 

Thanks for all of your Likes and comments.  I’ve been doing more painting, but, took a break last night to take these two photos.  The first one’s my favourite.

 

I hope you like them!

 

Have a great weekend.

 

Cheers.

Just keeps getting better and better, Patrick.

Thanks Mark, Nils and Denis for your comments and everyone else for their Likes.

 

Last night I glued Shadow’s port and starboard garage doors in place, ie in the open position, so that Shadow’s two tenders can be viewed from outside the ship.  

 

I also made two new staircases (currently these are only dry-fiited as they need adjustments) that are situated at the rear of the ship, which give passengers and crew access to the diving platform at the stern.

 

Lots more work to go, but I’m having fun all the way.

 

Have a great week, everybody!

 

Cheers

A retractable diving board now we're talkin' Lots of goodies on this one Patrick!

[popeye the sailor]

good to see your still making progress on her.   the bottom paint looks very good,  and as long as there are no sharks,  I'm in for the board  

[bdgiantman2]

Actually, COG, I believe that slide-out is a boarding walkway when a large yacht can't get close enough to a dock to walk aboard. Also useful for someone who may be disabled.  I don't know if those get used as diving boards but I suppose someone could.

Hi Denis. Thanks. The bottom hull needs a a couple more coats of silver to cover up a few boo boos when the gold paint accidentally got into it. But, apart from that, it’s looking pretty spiffy.

Ahh! Brian. So that’s what it’s for. I also assumed that it was a diving board, as well. I guess it’s easy to think that, because all the publicity shots of these mega yachts have super models in their bikinis resting on them...for what other purpose other than diving????😏

 

Thanks for the explanation!

 

Cheers.

Hi everyone 

 

Thanks for all of your comments and Likes!

 

Well, it seems that Shadow’s almost nearing the end of her construction journey.  The foreman tells me that he still has a myriad of small touch ups to do, but by and large, she’s well on her way to making her entrance out of the shipyard.  So much so, that, she’s started to get all of her furniture put back onboard, including her tables, chairs, sun lounges and other assorted deck furniture.  It won’t be long, now folks...

 

I hope you like her.

 

Cheers

Hi Patrick

 

Each time I see Shadow I see more details.  It's amazing how much you're able to cram into such a small space.  Great work!

[flying_dutchman2]

Patrick, 

Beautiful sleek boat. Excellent work. The details are amazing. I will say it again, you are the "king" of itty-bitty scale.

Very sweet work, Patrick.   Looking forward to seeing her in the harbor.

Hi Frank-thanks for your compliments.  While she’s far from perfect, I’ve got to admit, that, looking back now, even I’m amazed at how much I’ve been able to pack into this hull. Lots of head scratching and headaches for sure, but worth it, nonetheless.

Thanks Marcus.  I’m not sure that I deserve that title, but, hell, it’s a nice one to have!  Thanks for that😊!

Hi Mark-many thanks.  It won’t be long now before Shadow can join her companions in the harbour, eg Majellan, Symphony, Rainbow, etc, etc.  

 

Have a great week, everybody and thanks for all of your Likes.

 

Cheers.

Hi Richard

 

Many thanks and I’m very happy that you like Shadow.  She’s been challenging, but at the same time, a  lot of fun to build. 

 

Have a great week.  

 

Cheers.

Hi all

 

Thanks for all of your Likes and comments!

 

Guees what?  Shadow’s well-heeled passengers and owners can now relax on deck, especially now that I’ve added an assortment of cushions and deck chairs.  Alleluia they must be saying😂!!!

 

I hope you enjoy these latest photos.

 

Cheers.

her entrance out of the shipyard.  

Patrick,

Marvelous, what would really finish her off is a captain, crew, and some bikini clad ladies lounging on the stern deck. Well forget captain and crew but add the bathing beauties, as masterful as you are at small scale I know you could do this!!

Hi John

 

I can only try, but knowing my skill level, my bathing beauties will definitely need ‘plastic surgery’....But, you know, beauty is only skin deep, they say, right?😄

 

Thanks and have a great week!

As you know I like doing miniature stuff in mm sizes but I have real difficulty wrapping may brain around sheer amount of the ultra miniature detail you have been able to stow into 8 inches of space, on several decks no less.  Your Shadow is  masterpiece of miniature work. My hat off yo you my friend.

Thanks for the compliments!  Well, I'm not too sure that 'masterpiece' is an apt description, but I'm pretty chuffed with it, nonetheless. 

 

Have a great week!
