Hi Denis

 

Many thanks!  I'm also glad that the 'movers' have moved in.  I was getting a bit twitchy about having to spend so much time on the hull and superstructure (both of which still need a lot of work), but, at least I've been able to start on the really fun bit, ie the furniture and accommodation.

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Cheers

Hi Folks

 

Thanks for all of your likes and comments.  Much appreciated!

 

Another quick update.  I've been working on the Entrance Lobby on the Main Deck.  The Lobby is positioned directly forward of the Main Saloon and is where the guests would embark and disembark from the ship when dockside.  

 

In true mega-yacht style, I've decided to go for the glitzy "wow" appearance.  In doing so, the walls of the Lobby have been lined with gold and silver bands (the silver bands would actually be mirrors in the real ship).  Unfortunately, my poor macro-photography skills means that it's really hard to see the actual effect, but, well, trust me it, it looks ok.  I've also adorned the walls with some cabinetry and wall units for guests to rest their 'what-nots' on.  

 

Having heaps of fun here...

 

I hope you enjoy the photos.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi folks

 

Just another quick update for you.  I've started to fit-out the Owner's cabin.  In doing so, I've commenced work on the major wall-units which adorn the port and starboard sides of the aft bulkhead.  I've provided a couple of photos of these units in my hand, just to give you a clearer idea of what they look like.

 

On the forward bulkhead of the Owner's cabin, I've added the wall panelling as well a blue painting with yellow stars on it.  I've also mocked up the owner's king sized bed and some assorted furniture surrounding it.

 

Still lots of fun to go.

 

Thanks and have a great week!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Elijah

 

It's great to hear from you!  The shelves are indeed tiny, but they were great fun to do, nonetheless.

 

Have a great week.

Hey Rob

 

Many thanks.  The mattress is yet to be completed, but when it is, it will indeed have some pillows on it....perfect for relaxing after a lazy day of cocktails and food😊.

 

Have a great week.

Hi Michael

 

Many thanks and I'm glad that you like Shadow. She's most certainly an absolute joy to build, but challenging as well, at the same time.

 

I'm also glad to hear that you're out of hospital and back home.

 

All the best!

 

Cheers

Hi folks

 

Hope you're all going really well.  A very quick update for you, once again.  I'm still working on the Owner's Stateroom; principally, I've added the two bedside tables and the bedside lamps (they're the rectangular white lampshades, in case you were wondering).

Also, as in the full sized ship, I've added the two large potted shrubs which adorn the bulkhead.  These are a bit hard to see, but, please trust me, they're there...you may just need to look really close!
