Symphony by Omega1234 - FINISHED - 1/200 scale - 112' Ketch

[captainbob]

I can just imagine your thought process.

 

 ‘Now let’s see the hull is . . . but the interior is . . . so I need to . . . but if I do that I can’t do . . . and then I’ll have to.’

 

Wow I’m already lost but you just keep on building as though it’s not a problem. I don’t know how you do it but I sure like what you do.

Hi Nis

 

Thanks! Now that's a thought! My only question us where do I get one of those Keyhole Digital cameras from?

 

 

Cheers

Hi Patrick,

 

maybe something like this will do......

saw them by Amazon, also Ebay, round about 25 - 35 Euros

HA! Nils' idea had me immediately imagine taking some 'perspective shots' of the interior, as if one was inside, and then arranging them in a publisher like Adobe or something, and writing a mock article (like you'd find in a yachting magazine) about the newest luxury sailing yacht Symphony, complete with all the jaw dropping interior pictures.

 

Seriously, though, the detail you've added is spectacular - the objects don't just look like a lounge, or a galley - the detail and materials make them feel like a lounger and a galley. Really great work - and I can't wait to see the rest.

Hi Ben, Nils and Bob and everyone who hit the Like buton

 

All of your comments are greatly appreciated!

 

Well, over the past few days I've managed to do a bit more work on the galley, the double bed stateroom that sits opposite the galley and the small berth and shower compartment in the forepeak.  In the main saloon, I've done the saloon table as well as three folding chairs that are arranged around the saloon table.

 

I hope you enjoy the photos.

 

Cheers

Amazing work..

Incredible.  Please don't tell me that the folding chairs actually fold. 

[Omega1234]

Hi David and Frank

 

Thanks for your compliments!  Ahhh, yep...the folding chairs can fold.  I can attest to that because I accidentally squashed the first one that I made.

 

Mmmm...Note to Self - Be careful where you put your coffee cup!  

 

Cheers

She's looking better all the time.  If they're not glued in yet how about a picture of a folding chair.

 

Bob

[Omega1234]

Hi Bob

 

Thanks. The chairs and table aren't glued in yet, so...Easily done! I'll post some tomorrow for you.

 

Cheers and thanks.

 

Patrick

[captainbob]

That will be great.  It's been a long time since I've seen a wooden folding chair.

Hey Patrick it's all your fault that I hurt my jaw - - - it dropped to the floor mate 

Very nice work!

Hi Piet, Bob and everyone else for hitting the Like button!

 

First of all, Piet, I'm sorry for causing your jaw to drop.....hehehe!!! I'm just grateful that you like my work.

 

Secondly, Bob, as promised, here are the photos of the folding chairs and the saloon table. The photos aren't the best because the chairs are so small that photographing them properly was difficult.

 

Oh well, it's the best I can do with my limited photo skills.

 

Hope you enjoy them.

 

Cheers

Patrick - I can't think of any new superlatives - wow!  Incredible work.

[Omega1234]

Hi Frank

 

Thanks for your comments!

 

Like you and everyone else on this Forum, if we never try something, we'll never know if it's possible, or not. For me, I mulled over it for a long time, thinking that I couldn't do it. But, I gave it a go, and while not perfect, at least they look the part!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[captainbob]

Thanks for the folding chair pictures.  Don't worry we can see the skill even past the photos.

Oh!! to miniaturizing one self and sail aboard these vessels.

Oh my....        I can't imagine doing something that small.   Perfection in sub-sub-subminiature. 

[dgbot]

Are you using train carpenter ants?

David B

[BenF89]

Wow. The shots that show the whole boat - just, wow. It's looking amazing. I love seeing interiors, especially in three dimensions. It almost brings more life into the model, in a way. It's so fascinating to see spatially how it all relates, and you've done a masterful job representing it.

[Omega1234]

Thanks Ben, David, Mark, SOS, Bob, Frank and everyone else for hitting the Like button.

 

I really appreciate you all taking the time to comment and provide feedback. It keeps me motivated!

 

Ben - interesting comments about seeing how the full interior fits together and how each parts relates to the next, because I couldn't agree more with you. I love it too. I guess that what spurs me onto building the ship's interiors.

 

Thanks and all the best to everyone!

 

Cheers

Hi everyone

 

Mark's comment about "sub subminiature" has triggered something off in my mind.  What if the owners of Symphony were into models of nuclear submarines? Well, why not make a teeny tiny model of a nuclear submarine to display on the curved cupboard in the saloon?

 

So I did one and the results are in the photos below.  Ok, pls use heaps of imagination, because...well...because, it's the best I could do!  I need to have Igor's excellent miniaturisation-skills for me to pull it off really well.  

 

I've also started on the staircase leading from the companionway to below deck.

 

Hope you enjoy the photos.

 

Cheers

Hi Patrick,

 

Quick note to say, while I started late, I am really enjoying watching the interior of your ketch come to life. Lovely skills to build at such a small scale.  On your model ships in your model ship, I tried to figure out their scale and come up with something like to 1/10,000! 

 

One question with all the lovely detail work you are putting in, are you going to leave some of the decking off to allow top viewing as well as side?

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

[Omega1234]

Hi Nigel

 

Many thanks for your compliments, which are greatly appreciated and welcomed!   

 

The submarine was a fun thing to do and, whilst not built to any scale, at least it looks the part. The same goes for the tiny gaff rigged cutter.  Having said that, a scale of 1/10000 really does make the mind boggle!

 

With respect to the interior visibility, I'm leaving the deck and cabin roof completely un-planked, so that the details can be viewed.

 

Thanks and all the best!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[popeye the sailor]

you've been busy Patrick.........very nice progress indeed!.    the recent addition to the bow section as well as the furniture,  really adds a lot of detail.   she's continuing to shape into a very sweet looking build  

[Omega1234]

Hi Denis

 

Thanks for your comments.  I'm constantly learning and being surprised at just how much detail I can pack into Symphony's hull.  The sub, cutter and folding chairs are things I would never have thought possible in my previous models, but I've given them a go and I don't think they look too bad.  

 

So what's next?  I'm thinking about how to do the dinner plates on the saloon table.  Now, that'd be fun if I can pull it off.

 

Cheers and all the best!

 

Patrick

[Mahuna]

Hi Patrick:

 

If you're going to do dinner plates, then why not cups and saucers, and then you'd need cutlery, then you'd need napkins of real fabric - what a slippery slope you're on!

 

I'm really enjoying your skills and your imagination. 

[dgbot]

I think it is time to call the guys in white suits and book you for a stay at the funny farm. Great job Patrick.

[BenF89]

SUB subminiature. Love it! Looks great, too!
