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.

 

Hi John - Many thanks.  I gotta admit that this hull and superstructure has so many twists and turns, that shrinking the real boat would be easier!  Oh well, makes life interesting, I guess.

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

Thanks Ben. Lots of fun still to go, but i’m Really pleased with how it’s looking so far.  Thanks for all of your help, so far.

 

Cheers.

This is one crazy design Patrick but you nailed the shape I think. If there is a boat that looks awesome in gold it's this one! 

Looking good!

I have to admit that you're right about the gold paint scheme.  She certainly looks like she'll stand out in any crowd, that's for sure.

 

Have a great week.

really coming into shape quite nicely     the black top is really nice.......I see a real snazzy paint job on this one     I wonder what she would look like if you were to use PE on her.......I'm sure there's something out there.

Thanks Denis!

 

I can also see all sorts of combinations of colours for the colour scheme.  After all, with all of these curved and hard chines, there’s heaps of opportunities to pick each out in different colours. A little bit of black, a bit of gold, silver, etc.   Mmmm, lots of possibilities, that’s for sure.

 

Have a great week!

 

Cheers.

Hi folks 

 

Thanks for all of your comments and Likes.  Genesis’ journey has continued, albeit slowly.  I”ve done some more puttying and fairing of the hull and superstructure, so much so, that she still looks a real mess, but, trust me, like a butterfly emerging from her cocoon, so, too will Genesis’ beauty.

 

Also, up on top of the Sun Deck, I’ve added the mast; which will eventually be adorned with the radars and other apparatus, but in the meantime, it’s a start.  

 

Similarly, as in keeping with Genesis’ design, nothing is easy and straightforward. For instance, if you look at her transom, you’ll see that it’s not your run of the mill transom.  Oh no, the designers had to make it super complicated.  Hell, I’m just happy if I can make it look even half right!  Oh what the heck, it’s fun trying.

 

Have a great weekend, folks!

 

Cheers. 

 

Patrick

When I look at it now ... I'd say it's the Bat-boat ... looking good Patrick

[fnick]

That is already looking lurvely! 😀Still can't get over how much detail you manage to pack in such a small model.

[mtaylor]

You're right Carl.  That is the Batboat.   Now to get the Batman theme music out of my brain.

Hi Carl...’Holy Smokes, Batman...to the Batboat...and hurry’. You’re right though, Carl.  I was thinking the exact thing about the similarity to the caped crusader as well.

Thanks Nick!  I’m having a ball of a time doing this boat.  Who would have thought that building super-modern designs such as this one, could be such fun, but it is.  Thanks for the good word.

Hi Mark...darn it!!!!!  Now, I can’t get the theme out of my mind either....

Hi folks

 

A quick update for you.  The sanding and fairing of Genesis’ hull and superstructure continues.  As you can see, she’s still got some way to go before she looks really spiffy.

 

I’ve also started to build the internal accommodation, starting with the lower decks’ engine room, beach club and tender garages at the stern.

 

I hope you all have a great weekend.  

 

Cheers.

Does the beam narrows at the middle or is it a trick of the eye Patrick?

[bdgiantman2]

And Patrick is off to the races again daring to make another amazing yacht interior! Genesis is looking great, making nice progress on her.

[popeye the sailor]

WOW!  you got the hull look'in super.........now you've started to trip out the interior    nice shape to the partitions and walls   ...look'in my-t fine!   not so much on the bat boat though........she don't got the fins   

[michael mott]

Hi Patrick Catching up... Wow you do take on challenging shaped yachts, looks great so far.

Hi Vaddoc - yep...well. Sort of.  It’s the stern sponsons that actually trick the eye into thinking that the hull narrows amidships.  Kinda hard to get your head around it, I guess!

Thanks Denis.  I really like that Bat Boat and her fins.  Mmmm, maybe I could add the odd fin, or two....

Hello Patrick

 

Sorry for the very late arrival to your new build log on your on Super Sports Mega Yacht Genesis. I was very much very much surprised that you have the outside hull completed already. I have been so very much tied up in my own little world of home decoration, tree cutting, completing my Golden Hind and last but not all our vacation on the French River to celebrate my Admirals birthday along with the start of my own new build the POF Oliver Cromwell.                                                     My but Genesis sure is a very different type of an hull construction that you have mastered so very easily, can hardly wait for you to surprise us all with the interior decorations that will be a joy to watch it all come together,                                                                      ENJOY.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Regards   Lawrence

Hi Lawrence - welcome back to my shipyard. It’s great to see ya!  I’m kinda in the same position as you, what with work and what not taking up my time lately.  Not much time to follow yours and other Build Logs lately; but hopefully that’ll change soon.

 

Cheers

Hi folks

 

Sorry I haven’t had much time lately to follow everyone else’s Build Logs lately, but hopefully that’ll change soon.

 

Anyhow, here’s a quick update of Genesis.  Lots of work, including painting still to go.

 

Cheers.

Patrick,

 

Keeps getting better, cannot wait to see finished build.
