Hi Marty, Mark, Ben, David and Frank

 

Many thanks for your comments!  Greatly appreciated.

 

Today, I managed to do a bit more on the companionway stairs, i.e. the ballustrading.  I've included a few photos below.

 

Hope you enjoy.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

My jaw hit the floor again Patrick and a submarine too!  You could have made the O19 my friend, she was smaller - - - only 77 meters  :o  :o  :rolleyes:  and that at a scale of 1:1000 ???

All kidding aside, she's really looking grand.

 

Cheers,

Hi Piet, Ben, David, John (Neptune), Carl, Denis and all those who hit the Like button!

 

I really appreciate your comments as they provide heaps of motivation to move forward.

 

Well, today I've tackled the multisided skylight that sits atop Symphony's cabin roof. The skylight has 12 sides, spaced at 30 degrees per side in a radial pattern. There was no easy way of doing this precisely at this scale (the skylight is only about 7mm in diameter). Anyhow, I muddled my way through it and managed to build it out Jarrah veneer. As you can see from the photos, it's still pretty rough and needs some filing and cleaning up, but at least the hard work's done.

 

I hope you like the photos.

 

All the best, everyone!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Denis

 

I was actually going to leave the windows blank, because they're so small that they'd be difficult to fit cleanly. The other reason is that, as the internal cabin walls are viewable through the cabin roof, I didn't want to risk messing things if I didn't do a good job of doing the windows.

 

What do you reckon?

 

Cheers

Hi everyone

 

Today I got a chance to start on the cockpit area which is located in the middle of the huge cabin and leads down through the companionway below decks.  The real ship has striped cushions and a large folding dining table in the cockpit, which is perfect for entertaining guests.

 

In order to simulate the striped cushions, the best I could come up with was to use part of the barcode of an Uncle Toby's muesli-bar box. ;)   Not exactly like the real cushions, but, pretty close and not too shabby at this teeny tiny size.

 

I hope you enjoy these photos.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

The cushions are great.  Is that thinking outside the box or just using the box?

Thanks to everyone for your latest Likes and especially to Lawrence, Carl, David, Ionnis, Bob, David, Frank, Igor and Nils for your compliments. Greatly appreciated!

I know I've said it before, but the best thing about MSW is the support and encouragement that one gets from members all around the world. That's truly humbling and motivating all at the same time!

Cheers

Patrick

Patrick, this continues to be a feast for the eyes...  I love those cushions as they add more detail than expected.

Hi everyone

 

I've just done a bit more work on the deck furniture, including the sliding companionway hatches (i.e. the one at the rear that leads down into the owner's stateroom and the main one which leads down into the main saloon.  Below decks, in the owner's stateroom, I did the double mattress and striped cushions on the settee.

 

I hope you enjoy  the photos.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Patrick

 

The whole boat is awesome.  I can't believe you've reached this point in only a few months - it seems like I've been on Paragon forever.

Hi everyone and many thanks for your Likes and comments, all of which are greatly appreciated!

 

Well, lately, I've been working mostly on finishing off the interior details, such as cushions on the settees, bedspreads, pillows,  etc.  They're all fiddly little bits, but important, nonetheless, as they 'finish' off the overall look of the fit-out.  Once I'm satisfied that enough is enough, I'll glue the deck down (no turning back then!), so I'll have to be sure that I haven't missed anything.

 

I hope you enjoy these photos.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick
