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 oh oh, it's lovely! I'll have to show my father, he loves Jack Aubrey (even threatened to come to my wedding dressed as him once he heard we were planning a violinist and cellist).

I ADORE the ceilings, and the lockers! Oh, I'm drowning in happy. This has come along SO well!

Don't drown in happy! Jack might have to dive in and rescue you!

Thanks!

(Your dad sounds like fun.)
