I have roomboxes!

(LJ is being really slow and weird!  Here's the second try at this post...)

I picked up my roombox(es) yesterday!  They were custom built to my specifications, yay.  It's one unit with two rooms, one above for the captain's cabin, and one below for the surgeon's dispensary/sick bay.  The back panel for the captain's cabin isn't attached, so I can adapt it and add windows later (when I figure out how exactly I want to do that.)

I haven't even started doing anything to them.  I think I'm going to stain the outside, so it will look like an apothecary chest, and put a brass handle on top for carrying.  But I'm so excited and ADD about it that I'm paralyzed with the inability to start!!!

Here are pictures.  The Plexi covering-film hasn't been peeled off yet.  I'll wait till after painting and all.

Any time I put something on the floor, the cats get curious.  This one is Gianni.




Nemo investigates.  "Can I get in there?"




The poppets also investigate.  I never planned for this to be a space for them to live in, but who knows?  They are about the right size, after all, especially when fixed to their little stands.  I just wanted to see how the room would look with someone "life sized" in it.  I think it looks duly claustrophobic. :D

For some reason I imagined them smaller. O_o Although if the poppets are to live in there, it only makes sense they should be that size.

*imagines the poppets running around your appartment at night, whispering stuff in your ears*

Smaller!!! Most people imagined them bigger. They're only 5 inches tall - 6 when attached to their stands.

I think they really must do that, run around at night whispering. O_O

Or did you mean the roomboxes? Well, they're pretty small already, but they're made to be standard 1 inch = 1 foot dollhouse scale (for a small room.)

Here's a picture of Stephen when I was trying to see how this waistcoat would look. (And I have v. small hands.)
