Majestic by Omega1234 - Mega Yacht - miniature

[Omega1234]

Hi Folks!

 

I just thought I’d share my latest miniature model called “Majestic”.  My model is based upon an actual boat design known as the Wider 150 (https://boutiqueboats.com.au/vessel/wider-150/). 

 

After a long break from building, I’ve recently managed to get back into working on this model. Whilst most of the work lately has concentrated on sanding and painting the hull, as well as adding more interior details such as the bathrooms, pillows on beds and pot plants scattered throughout various parts of the accommodation, I acknowledge that most of it is too small to see and appreciate. What can easily be seen, though, is that I’ve added the ‘water’ to the aft wet dock into which the ship’s tender is moored when underway.

 

I hope you like where things are at so far!

 

Cheers

I had wondered what had side tracked you Patrick; nice to see another well executed miniature for your collection.

Thanks Pat. Hopefully all of the nasty technical gremlins I’ve been having with MSW have disappeared. The problem has been that for some reason, my IPAd a nd laptop take ages (meaning many minutes) just to load up one page on MSW. This has meant that even opening up a build log to comment and give a Like has been interminably long. So much so, that I gave up and lost interest. 
 

However, I’ve got a new IPad now and things seem to be far quicker. Let’s hope so!!!

 

Enjoy your weekend. 
 

Cheers

Patrick - i am pleased to see you back. This one looks very boat like - the designer must have been having an off day. Love the detail but hell of a lot to take in. The spiral staircases must have been hard.

Hello Patrick, it's good to see a posting from you.  This is really a very nice miniature - amazing mind boggling details (like the rest of your mini fleet).  What is the scale - it seems even smaller than Sapphire and Genesis - could that be?  Looks great!

Hi Keith

 

Thanks for your message and yes, I fully agree that this design is most certainly not to everyone’s taste. It is quite polarising and ‘challenging’ to the senses, shall we say?  But, I guess even the ugly duckings need someone to like them; which is why I chose to model these types of designs. These modern designs are also a lot more complex to build as they’re so unusual. 
 

As for this boat, the spiral staircase really did my head in. You’d think it would be easy, but the fact that it went up multiple decks, meant that I had to get the exact number of steps per deck and in the right spiralled direction....not was easy for an old bugger like me! Heheheh. 
 

 

Many thanks, once again. 
 

Cheers Patrick

Hi Gary

How are you? Thanks for your comments. It’s great to be back. I haven’t really worked out the scale, but I would think something like 1:350’ish, or something along those lines, I would hope. 
 

Thanks again!!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick.
