Hi Carl - yes, I have often wondered about these ‘modern art’ pieces and the astronomical prices that they fetch.  Oh well...it’s all in the eyes of the beholder, I guess.

 

Have a great weekend.

 

Cheers.

More like what P.T. Barnum said about one being born every minute.  :rolleyes:

Hi folks.

 

A quick update on Genesis’ progress. Ok. I admit that I’m not tech-savvy. Having said that, I’ve just discovered how to make my IPhone 8 zoom in closer than 2.0x. I know, I know....I’m not young like you guys😀

 

Armed with this new skill, I just thought I’d show off some of my new zoomed-in photos of Genesis’ details. 

 

Enjoy. 

 

Cheers 

 

Patrick

Hi folks

 

Many thanks for all of your comments and encouragement. 

 

Well, well, well...In addition to being a lover of modern art, I’ve decided that Genesis’ owner is also ‘into’ radio controlled model yachts (strange that, isn’t it?😉)?

 

If you look closely, there’s now a tiny radio controlled gaff - rigged yacht, leaning casually against the writing bureau in the Main Saloon. It seems the owner is getting the model ready to put her in the water for a quick sail. 

 

Have a nice weekend, folks. 

 

Cheers. 

 

Patrick

I hear what you say about the macro-setting.  I’m like a kid in a candy-shop now.  I’m constantly taking more and more macro shots, just for the hell of it.  They’re a lot of fun to look back and see what I’ve done or, not done).

 

Ahem....what’s this about an upside down chair back, I say?  Oh well...you know, the problem lies in poor quality control...you just can’t get good hired help nowadays...😊😊😊

 

Have a great weekend.

 

Cheers

A teeny-tiny model boat inside a teeny-tiny model boat !! What a concept !!

So, if Genesis is 1:300, then what's the scale of your gaff-rigged yacht ??

 

:omg:

 

Keep up the great work, Patrick.

Thanks Steve. I struggle to think what the scale would be (I failed maths at school!). All I know is that it’s freaking teeny tiny😀

Quite so.  Looks like the crew working on her has dropped popcorn in a few places.  :rolleyes::P

 

Seriously, I love the detail you've done at such a small scale.

Hi Mark-oh boy....I swear it’s not my fault.  I place the blame solely on the clean-up crew.  They’re obviously not up to the task.  I mean, how hard is it to pick up some popcorn😏?  Hehehe.

Hi Carl - I’ll take your word for it (about the scale, I mean).  I seem to recall that Igor did something similar in a bottle a while back.  Now that was tiny as well.

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekends, folks!

I think you must be mistaken Patrick. Anyone with the lack of taste required to own Genesis (or much modern art for that matter) would find it hard to appreciate a gaff rigged yacht. I think it must belong to the apprentice engine room technician - he would appreciate it. By the way you forgot to put the dinghy on the yacht.

Hi Keith - I was actually thinking what your reaction would be when I was doing the gaff-rigged boat.  I’m glad to say that you reacted exactly the way I thought you would.  Hehehe.... Seriously though, I’m glad you liked it and thanks for your comments.

Hi folks.  

 

A quick update on Genesis’ voyage to completion.  

 

I’ve been thinking lately that Genesis‘ interior accommodation has been lacking a bit of greenery.  Therefore, I added a few pot plants to her main saloon as well as her sky-deck.  Oh...and just in case you were wondering, the  plants are actually bits of our kitchen scouring pads which I tore off and glued in place.  Mmmm, not bad, I reckon.  

 

I hope you enjoy Genesis’ new greenery.

 

Cheers 

 

Patrick

Very nice Patrick. I do not think I ve ever seen plants added to a model boat! Genesis feels a very nice place to be. Lovely work.

Hi Vaddoc

 

Thanks indeed.  I was actually surprised how realistic the ‘plants’ looked.  Who’d have thought that tearing off bits of a kitchen scourer could look so good!

 

Thanks for the compliments.

 

Cheers.
