go back to work......and see what you've done in those three days!    nothing short of fantastic.....that's for sure!   you did a great job with the sails,  and the rigging compliments them quite well!  your quite a master in these small scales......I have enjoyed watching this build immensely.  I'll look forward to the finish of this fine boat!  it's quite an accomplishment

Well Patrick, 

   Just noticed you did a J class yacht and a wonderful job of it too !!!!!   You have set the bar very high....

   Still don't know how you get so much detail in a small package....  Once again, very nice model

Hi Keith

 

Thanks and greatly appreciated! Funny thing is, that I'd forgotten just how beautiful the lines of a J Class yacht are until I opened your post above. Which is strange because I pass my rendition of Rainbow umpteen times a day and never give it a moment's notice. But, you've now made me reminisce on the reasons why I built my model of her in the first place. I don't think anything can beat the J's for sheer beauty, majesty and power. They're truly magnificent boats.

 

Thanks once again and all the best!

 

Cheers

Hi again Patrick,

 

  These yachts caught my eye because of the sheer beauty of them. During my research I found that the designer from Humphreys Yacht Design, used the J class as his inspiration. He said he especially wanted to pay homage to the great yachts of the 1930s.

 

  One thing for sure, these two yachts won't be small, I haven't achieved the level of miniaturization you are so adept at...

 

 

  Cheers and keep up the great work.   Keith

Thanks Keith

 

With the J's used as inspiration, there's no doubt that the yachts you've chosen are going to be beautiful. What's more, whether large , or small scale, it makes no difference as long we enjoy what we're building. Looking back now, Rainbow was an absolute joy to build. I'm sure you'll feel the same way about your boats, too.

 

All the best.

 

Cheers
