Miniatures - great cabin, floors, ceilings, light

[nid_dabeille]

I have ceilings!  And floors!  And a light!

My painted and varnished floor cloth in the great cabin.  It was plain white cotton - a very smooth polished cotton, I think - that I painted with acrylics and varnished with many many coats of... something.  I think I used my Realistic Water because I didn't have any other large quantity of colorless clear shiny coating.  I tried several different things, so it may actually be a combination of coatings.


Great cabin and sick berth floors (and no windows or stern locker)


With the stern locker dry-fitted in place


I started adding beams to the ceilings.  The lower room (sick berth) hasn't progressed very far in ceiling development, but it does have a long built-in shelf, and the beginnings of stains.


Unpainted molding added to the beams.


Painted and lovely


This was an earlier test fitting before the floor cloth was in place - primarily to bask in the glow of the beautiful lamp.  I'm very happy with my hanging lamp (from Cir-Kit Concepts).  It's made of nice hefty metal too, to imitate real wrought iron.  It's elegant but solid and unfussy.  And this was my first time using a ceiling adapter with spring-loaded eyelets.  I like it!

I am probably totally missing the point but OMG PONIES the little chandelier with its little candles! I want Jack and Stephen to have a mini-candlelight-dinner and to invite me please.
It all looks perfect.

Additional questions: did you buy the ceiling lamp this time?
And, are you also planning on building the magical commode thingy that Diana gave Stephen as a present?

Certainly they'll invite you! Everyone will be invited, and it will be crowded but merry.

I did buy the lamp. And I'm definitely going to make the magical commode! It will be their music stand.
