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!





This picture is close to actual size.

Oh gosh, everything looks absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the second picture from the bottom; with that angle and lighting, I feel like I'm right there, and a naval officer is going to come and sit in one of those chairs at any moment. :P Hee! You're making me want to re-read my Hornblower books... again... ;)

Yes, he is going to come in and sit down, and he'll wonder what you're doing there! I don't think he'll mind, though. ;D

Thanks!
