Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!! That is one badass ship, I like a lot the way you formed the stern and underwater parts of the hull. Keep it up!

Thanks Brian!

Hi folks

 

Another quick update for you.  I swear, that with each successive session of ‘puttying and sanding’, the true beauty of Genesis’ hull shape has started to emerge.  Of particular importance to me is ensuring that the hard chines in the bow and all of her flowing curves, etc are especially crisp and prominent, therefore, those areas have received the most attention.

 

Lots of fun still to go, though.

 

Thanks for all of your Likes and comments.  

 

‘’Cheers.

Hi folks

 

I’ve been flat out and too busy to look at MSW over the past couple of weeks, but I’ll do a catch up with everyone’s logs soon.

 

Anyhow, oh, Lordy, lord lord!!  By George, I think I’ve done it!!!!!  By that I mean that I’ve managed to build those pesky curves on Genesis’s superstructure; you know the ones’ which give her design such a distinctive look.  Now. I just to shape them, to give them that extra bit of finesse.

 

I have to say, “I’m pretty darn chuffed”!

 

Thanks for following and for all of your Likes and comments so far.

 

Have a great weekend, folks!

 

Cheers.

Now that I’ve finally managed to build all of those curves and lines on the superstructure, I feel like a major milestone and headache has been achieved. Whilst there’s still lots and lots of sanding and puttying to go, at least I can start to see how everything fits together. 

 

It it should be relatively plain sailing from here as far as the construction goes. 

 

Thanks for looking in!

 

Cheers.

Great job, Patrick.  With all of those radical curves, I'm sure getting the sides symmetrical was a challenge.  Especially at your scale, any little deviation would likely be very noticeable.  Kudos!

Hi Frank

 

Thanks!  You’re right. It’s been a tricky job so far, but all should be good now. 

 

Cheers

Nice work Patrick.  You have one great power of deduction.    I do have a question... first picture, by your thump is an rectangular opening.   What is that for? I don't recall seeing it in the pictures of the "large" version.

Hi Mark

 

Thanks for your comments. The large rectangular opening near my thumb is one of two openings for Genesis’ tender garages (the starboard one is for a large tender, whilst the smaller port opening will hold two jet-skis).  What more could a billionaire want on his super yacht...!

 

I hope this helps.

 

Cheers.

Ah... what more indeed.  Thanks for cluing me in.

A very beautiful achievement Patrick.

Yep. You’re right about the paint. I’m itching to do the first coat, but I’m resisting until everything is nice and smooth. 

 

Mr Bond, also, should be well pleased as well 😀!!!

 

Cheers.

[BANYAN]

Looks good Patrick and will look great over a properly prepared  hul - you're doing well to resist the temptation mate.  Mr. Bond? ...  it is more like one of the very modern, luxuriously outfitted  yachts one of his arch-nemesis with too much money would have -  007's would be smaller and fitted with more gizmos.

Sleek boat, excellent work.

Sleek she is!  She’s definitely getting there, but trying to capture all the intricate facets of the design (especially without plans) has been hard going, but, hey, what’s life without a few challenges along the way, hey?

 

Cheers.

Hi Pat

 

I think you could be right - this boat could belong to one of  Bond’s archnemisis’; I mean just looking at it, she just reeks of money and opulence.  But, personally, I still haven’t quite worked out whether it’s a spaceship, or a boat....oh well!

 

Have a great week.

 

Cheers.

Hi Carl

 

Mmm, now that’s a thought....If I was really cunning, I could surely fit a few cannons and other exotic weaponry onboard.  Now, that’s sure to give Bond a run for his money😉!

 

Cheers.

Hi folks

 

Thanks for all of your comments and feedback.  Much appreciated.

 

Just a quick update for you.  I’ve done some more work on sanding and puttying the curves on the superstructure.  I reckon they’re coming along really nicely.

 

I’ve also managed to do the highly complicated coach roof, which sits atop the Sun Deck.  As you can see, it looks like a multi-faceted component to something out of NASA’s books, but, hey, I didn’t design it...I only built it.

 

I hope you like the progress so far.

 

Cheers.

Hi Patrick.  All I can say is 'wow!' (as usual).  That roof certainly is complicated, but you nailed it.

Patrick,

 

Outstanding but you have to fess up I have scrutinized  your build very closely now its truth or tell. I have closely taken measurements and I come up with a vessel approximately 32 inches long that has been reduced to make it appear to be a wee little boat.

 

No one can make one that small and detailed.

 

Before I get bashed by those that don't have a sense of humor I am kidding. Kudos again on what is going to be your best.

[BenF89]

Patrick- absolutely fantastic! Don’t know what else to say- looks just like her!
