Dear Patrick, I have not been able to check on your log for some time and now I am lost in detail! Just too many things happening!

It is a beautiful boat and a very nice journey

Hi Vaddoc.  

 

Thanks and much appreciated!  

 

Like you, I'm enjoying Shadow's journey, as well. It's been slow, but oh, so much fun!

 

All the best.

Hi everyone. 

 

Many thanks for for all of your comments and Likes!

 

Well, today, I received the wonderful ‘gift’ of time.  Yep-Time to work on Shadow.  

 

As you can see from the following photos, I’ve been able to do more work on the Lower Deck’s accommodation, namely, more cabins, cabinets, cupboards, a crew’s staircase leading down into the Bilge Deck and many other details which are too small to photograph effectively. 

 

Still heaps to go, folks!

 

Cheers.

Yep, you're right.  It's good to be back at the ole shipyard, again, that's for sure.

 

Cheers

Hmmm, it is always a surprise once you get at it again. Nice details my friend. Though slightly larger than Igor's builds, still stunning detail! Wish you could spend some more time on Shadow ...

Hi Carl

 

Many thanks. Yeah, I reckon some of Igor’s ships could easily fit inside Shadow. Amazing stuff Igor does; that’s for sure!

 

I wish I could spend more time working on Shadow, but getting the time to do it, is getting increasingly difficult. Oh well... such is life I guess. 

 

Have a great week!

 

Cheers.

Hi folks

 

Thanks for all of your comments and Likes!

 

You know, I have always wanted to try to emulate one of those “3D exploded version diagrams’ of Shadow’s decks: you know, the type of diagrams you see so often in technical drawings, etc.  

 

Well...here’s my attempt to progressively show how all of Shadow’s decks fit together, (in 3D fashion).  I’m not sure how successful I’ve been, but, here goes:

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Cheers.

Nearing the end of the build ...? Oh no, you still have kitchenware to make!!!

Hi Carl

 

Yes, sadly you're right about getting closer to the end.  Shadow is and always will be, a thoroughly enjoyable model to build; so, it'd be a bit sad when the finishing line is crossed.

 

On the other hand, my next model eagerly awaits.  Please have a look and let me know what you think:   http://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/the-superyacht-directory/adastra--58067

Hi Patrick

 

The photo sequence really shows how all the detail comes together - I love it!  Wonderful work.

[cog]

Patrick,

 

That is an impressive, futuristic project you are up to ... any plans available, more images? Look forward to that one mate, almost can't wait for Shadow to be finished!!!

 

Cheers

amazing how all that fits into the hull....one neat little package!       looks to be a super new project.   looking forward for the start of that one  

[Piet]

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your Shadow take shape. Marvelous work Patrick. Your build should be equally enjoyable, different to say the least.

 

Cheers,

[Omega1234]

Hi Folks!

 

Thanks for all of your Likes and comments; all of which are greatly appreciated.  

 

Well, something of a milestone occurred last night...I decided to take a break from working on the internal accommodation details and devoted some time to painting the external hull and superstructure.  Nice, I thought, as I looked at Shadow with her new paint job; only to realise that she’ll need several more coats of paint (and sanding), before she looks really spiffy.  Ah well, it’s a start, at least.

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekends!

 

Cheers.

A little touch up and she ready to rock 'n roll mate. You'll have her ship shape in no time

 

[Omega1234]

Thanks Carl!  

 

She’s getting there...albeit, slowly. 

 

Cheers. 

 

Patrick

[Mahuna]

Looks great at this stage, Patrick.  I'm sure she'll be gorgeous when you're finally finished.

[vaddoc]

I ve been silently following your Shadow from afar Patrick, it is a lovely model. I think the golden paint looks fantastic, looking forward for more photos
