There was good lighting today, so I decided to take some daylight pictures of the cabin.  After all, its not always night time with music and candlelight.











Of course, Nemo had to investigate.


Eventually when I get around to it, I'm going to print out some maps and prints and pages of books, and letters and sheet music, etc.  But I'll wait and do it at work where we have a super high quality printer with fade-resistant colorfast ink and lignin-free archival paper.  Because I don't want my little maps and charts to change color.  I try to do everything archivally in my miniatures - use glue and plastics that won't yellow, use paints that won't discolor or fade, use archival paper, etc.  I'm a conservator, and it's ingrained in me now.  But fading/discoloring digital prints make me sad!

And for a sense of what the scale is (1:12, or 1 inch = 1 foot) here's a picture of the whole box sitting in the bathroom, where the nicest light was coming in through the window (for the lighting of all those photographs above).  Both sections of the box have Plexiglas panels, but I removed the top one for the photographs.  The bottom compartment is the sick bay, which isn't yet ready for its closeup.

Oh, man, that is so amazing...

If I had money, I would have a whole room dedicated to dollhouses and miniatures. I love little things.

This is so wonderful! And now, a newbie question: How did you get the walls so detailed? Can those be bought or what?

They are absolutely amazing! I've tried to find those things but when I want to buy them they weren't there. I'd also like that kind of thing in real life one day. Well done!

They are just SO adorable. *sniff* *wants to hug them*

I've watched HMS Defiant. It be a mix of Bounty and Potemkin, but it also has a very hot super-sadist bad guy. (Soooooo soooo familiar.) Who also played Aschenbach later. There are no coincidences. And it has Captain Obi-Wan. *wuw*

It's nice to see the scale of it. :D

Is that a little watch on the desk? Kind of looks like Harrison's H4. :D

They are so beautiful and detailed I almost can believe it! Absolutely amazing.

I love that you use the bathroom to show the scale XD

Oh my goodness! At first it didn't even register that I was looking at a miniature -- amazing work!
