Thank you Druxey, Rick and John. I have spent a few days fitting out. It is not yet complete but getting near. The carpet and the fore and aft walls were glued in with the aid of gravity and Starbuck sticks. The starboard cupboards were next - more bent sticks. The deck frames were playing games with the focus but I plodded on - sorry about the definition. I then changed tack and tried the phone camera inserted between the deck beams. Definition improved but I could have done with a wider angle lens. I must remember to dust before photographing. Then back to the big camera for a deception shot. Finally the real thing for less amateure rendering of the subject. More to come later.

Yep - such an obvious omission. I wonder why you weren't inundated with posts point out your error.🤪

It is sometimes fun to follow a first scratch build because prior knowledge does not constrain how things are done and mistakes provide endless opportunities for innovation. Following along is going to be educational.

She is quite something in a Star Wars sort of way. I think I am going to enjoy this.

John, Excellent - you have made it back to work. Do remember that when retired your time is your own.

Eberhard, John, Rick, Keith, Yves - thank you for your comments. Also thanks to all my other visitors. One of the things I needed to sort out was the carpet. The same carpet is used throughout the owner and guest accommodation. The next picture is blown up from one of the accommodation photos. The carpet is olive green. Fortunately I had a cunning plan. The next photo is of a family heirloom. The chair is part of a dinner table set which was owned by my wife's grandmother, my wife's mother, my wife and now my daughter. So it is on its 4th generation. It could be older but no one can remember that far back. It is looking pretty good, particularly as I last re-upholstered it over 40 years ago. Now you might think that finding fabric from a job completed 40 years ago was going to be a bit problematic. Then again you don't know my wife. I went to her beautifully organised fabric box and there it was, second piece from the top. Locating it took about a minute. Sometimes I just get lucky (my wife claims it is called organisation). I carpeted the owners floor. He was delighted with the colour match and texture. The fabric is Dralon, so it should be hard wearing. 😀

All very precise Paul. Great workmanship.

Amazing build Roel. She is a little gem.
-
Yves - Quite something. I wonder what it is like inside.
-
Eberhard Yes - an old kitchen cutting board, nice and flexible to ease extraction. Fabric mesh embedded in the paster to prevent breakage while extracting. The board was cut with a ball nose end mill.

Thank you Pat. I am moving along with the owners cabin. There is a nice little dressing table between the lockers on the forward bulkhead. I started with the top / draws milled form a solid piece of mahogany. The legs have a bit of brass work. The base is likewise milled from solid. the handles are brass pin heads. I needed door handles. I had some 0.1" brass balls but these need to be drilled to take a shaft. I put piece of brass in the lathe and centre drilled it to form a cone. The balls were glued into the cone and then drilled with a .040" drill. I then got on with the rest of the panels. The bed has various draws. And there are cupboards on the starboard wall. The bed has a quilt but I am simplifying it. I keep reminding myself that most to this will be hidden below deck with only a very small skylight for viewing. I made a mould and cast the quilt in plaster. I now have most of the bits I need so assembly staring tomorrow.

Clearly she was inspired by a house brick. And that reminds me of our local river as a child, in a very industrialised area. The river ran black, decorated by cream coloured suds of some unknown chemical. On windy days the suds would be whipped off the surface to be blow across the town to the shrieks of the local women as they rescued their husband's shirts off the neat rows of communal washing lines. On summer's days we would go down to the river for what we optimistically called the "River Don Brick Floating Contest". I understand the river now has fish in it. A benefit of deindustrialisation.
