Genesis by Omega1234 - 1/300 - 49m Mega Yacht - 8 inches long - Finished

[Omega1234]

Hi folks

 

I was adding some more bits and pieces last night; most of which are too small to mention.

 

I still thought I’d post these photos, just for the hell of it.

 

Have a great weekend.

 

Cheers

At least you thought about CO2 compensation  . Plants add a nice personal touch, mate. Another winner!

Good call on using the scouring pad for plants!  

 

I’m going to try this in the near future.

Thanks Phil.  It’s a bit out of left field, I know, but, it really worked.  Who would’ve thunk it, hey?

fantastic additions Patrick    I knew it!.........the yacht must be owned by the Knights of Ni  

Let’s not forget about the Knights Who Say, “Ni!”—Sorry I couldn’t  resist. 

Strong work, Patrick! 

Happy memorial day weekend, from across the globe.

Thanks Josh!

 

Much appreciated and a happy Memorial Day, too.  We celebrate a similar occasion here in Australia where we honour those who served/serving and have fallen on April 25th each year.  We call it ANZAC Day.

 

All the best.

Hi folks.

 

Another quick update on Genesis. As is customary on any self-respecting mega-yacht, the ship’s got to have at least two jet-skis. Well, Genesis can now proudly say that her two jet-skis have just arrived. They’re not quite finished yet, but with a bit of trimming and painting, they will sit in the port-side tender garage.

 

Oh, and just for the sake of it, I’ve also included a photo of the 7metre RIB tender which is nestled snugly in the starboard side tender garage.

 

I hope you like them.

 

Cheers.

Patrick, you continue to amaze! Excellent work and a great story (in your build log) to boot.

Beautiful stuff Patrick, I'm blown away!  That's why it takes me a couple of weeks to catch up 😉

Hi Dave. Many thanks for the compliments, especially about the build log itself.  I kinda let my imagination run a bit wild when I write, in order to make it more interesting to read.  I’m glad you like it.

Piet!!!  Where’ve you been, my friend?  I was getting worried because you haven’t posted for su9a long while.  Welcome back and thanks for your compliments.  It’s always a pleasure to hear from you.

Hi folks

 

Many thanks for all of your comments and feedback.  Much appreciated.

 

Well...here we are; marching towards completion.  A sad time for me, as I always tend to ‘grieve’ (for want of a better term), whenever a model is nearing completion.  I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to put an end to something that you’ve worked on for so long.

 

Anyhow, I’ve  just been tinkering around the edges over the past few days; adding a tweak here and there.  I’ve really only got the rudders and propellers, as well as some more painting (particularly the underwater hull), and a few touch ups here and there to go and then finito!  Also, a good clean up wouldn’t go astray, too.  Damn dust and dirt!

 

Here’s what Genesis looks like so far.

 

Have a great week.

 

Cheers

It must be hard to put a child to the side and start thinking about the next ... ON the other hand, there is a new challenge to be found which should be exciting!. GReat result on your latest mini build, Patrick. You keep on improving yourself, even when I think you have reached the limit, you still find a way to move it another step.

[vaddoc]

You really did a ton of work on Genesis Patrick, this boat is on a different level. Amazing details and a very unusual model. A very enjoyable journey approaching final port of call.

 

So...twin hulls next?

the  plants are actually bits of our kitchen scouring pads

Patrick, That's more like it - plastic plants - just what I would expect from the owner. I enjoyed catching up and share your misery that the build is coming to an end - never mind every end is just a new beginning.

[mtaylor]

Sad ending when we're finishing but excited new beginnings on the next,    She's looking great, Patrick.

Thanks Carl. Much appreciated.  Genesis was a lot of fun to be build.  I hope the next one is as well.

Hi Vaddoc.  Thanks as well.  Not a twin-hullled boat, but something just as challenging as Genesis: https://yachtharbour.com/yacht/okto-1948?fbclid=IwAR0YjJmBG5_3-1LHhcJXJKLAcNsNxRh_NmjabyCCyMewLCwaUmg7W1ZLtYg

Hi Keith.  Hehehe...I really like your comments about the plastic plants.  Nothing but the trashiest for this billionaire yacht-owner, I guess😏!

Hi Mark. Thanks again.  Yep, you’re right. Onwards and upwards with the next boat.  Gotta keep the mind occupied. 

 

 

Have a great week, everyone.

I thought you'd been a bit silent with your Build Log lately, but now I understand.  I hope all's well and that you're staying out of trouble🤤

Hi folks

 

Thanks for all the Likes and comments!

 

Well, as the journey is coming to an end soon, with a little bit of imagination, I can close my eyes and picture Genesis’ proud owner standing at the dock, admiring his magnificent boat.  Ahhh, the power of imagination, I guess.

 

Anyhow, I digress.  I’ve added the propellers and rudders to the hull.  I’ve also been playing around with a few ideas of how to display Genesis.  I’ve decided to go for a minimalist approach, using three brass rods to rest her on.  I’ll sand and stain the baseboard later.  

 

The other good thing about seeing Genesis on the display stand (as opposed to the building board), is that for the first time, I’ve been able to really reflect upon just how unusual a hull Genesis has.  She really challenges the norms, I guess.  

 

Now, just a few touch ups on the paint, here and there...

 

Have a great week, folks.

 

Cheers.

Hi Patrick - that's a great way to display Genesis.  It really shows off the radical shape.  Well done, my friend!

Amazing work Patrick! Love how she’s turned out, especially that heck-uv-a hull! And, I concur that a minimalist display is a good contrast to the shapely boat- like you pointed out, it emphasizes the uniqueness. Great job!

Hey Ben!

 

Many thanks. I gotta admit that I’m still ever so grateful for your help on the hull, in particular. 

 

Thanks again.

Well done Patrick - it is testament to you skills that you have made such a good looking silk purse out of a sows ear.

Another marvelous build from the Paddy Yard. You really know how to build them mate. Love those compartments on the sides for the toys ...

Hi folks

 

Well, as Genesis is nearing completion...Guess what?  It’s time for Genesis to meet the other ships in the fleet, (well, not the full fleet, but some of them, anyway).

 

Enjoy!

 

Have a great week, folks!

 

Cheers.
