She is already looking very regal. I am liking your attention to detail, adaptation and the fact that you wanted to do this and went for it. Very impressive sir.

Thank you so much.

PVA........is that like white glue?  I never had much luck using white glue......I either use clear cello or Testor's window maker.   it sounds though like your expecting a clouded outcome......you will get the old age effect though  ;)    your making good progress.

Yes mate  its gorillas   wood glue,   I find it very strong at glueing most things aslong as they inlcude part wood being attached.

I have used Gorilla glue too. I used it on some rope coils on another model and am using it for the current stage of my build. I have noticed it does dry quite clear on wood to wood surfaces but was not so clear when applied to rigging. 

It seems to have a good strength also.

Hi there all,   remember I filled in the windows with PVA  - it set well  and gives a nice impresion of period glass,   I also decided to construct two high back chairs form bits of scrap, they will look ok as shadows through the cabin windows,  I have also been working on the ships bell and bellfry.

 

Lots more to do but loving all the bits and pieces.

Great furniture... are you gonna add a full interior to the captain's cabin as well? 

 

Hoping to see Miss Swan dining with the crew as well but that might be too much to ask. :piratetongueor4:   

You wont see it through those windows,   even the table will just be a  murky shadow,  Im leaving it at a table and two chairs.

To give an idea how much can be seen through the windows  - in the pic of the windows above, the table I built is just behind it - its shadow is just visible.

 

The admiral (who'm I am building the pearl for)   wants me to build her a dolls house  - I will have to do a build on that also when I finish the pearl.

BEWARE of the trap OC or one place in your house will look like this:

image.thumb.png.fe04f2ca9103f14a5cfd5b70943f5b24.png

It's about four feet high and almost as long and wide! I has been, "In progress" for about 20 years and is nowhere near done!

 

BUT if you insist, I have another slightly smaller one still in the box that I would be more than glad to send you if you want to pay the postage for a 60-70 pound box-o-house!

The beauty often lies in the small details. Very nice job sir. 

Thank you sincerley,   I think we also get pleasure from putting little pieces into our builds - even if they are not visible or hardly seen, kind of adds that extra something to our builds.

It kind of makes it personal don't you think? It really is like putting a little bit of yourself in the model which then leads to a real sense of pride once it is completed. 

Indeed.

There is a section for builds other than ships. I also suspect that there may be another dollhouse or two out there based on how skillful people here are and how much they like to work with wood. Plus we can't be the only ones who have bowed to our wife's wishes now and then over the years. Sometimes wisely and like this time sometimes not!

 

So after you have consulted with your psychiatrist take a look at your PM folder. It is obvious you are a sick man!

Evening all,     thank you so much for all the likes and comments,     I spent another good afternoon on the pearl,  I painted the furniture and the cabin floor,  then when dry I glued them inplace,    next  was the rear upper bulwark with the decorative figurework, this was glued inplace.

 

Next was the  cabin windows assembly,  I had to cut off a trim that was stopping the assembly from fitting tightly,  after doing this I carefully  glued the assembly inplace.

I also finished working on the belfry  - I painted the bell with some brass paint  and the frame in my usual black/brown, then when dry I dry brushed some white over it to shade it, then glued it inplace

Very nice work, OC.

Can hardly keep up, you are working through this model so quickly. It must be a sign that you are enjoying the build of it.

Motivation is the wife  as its being built for her.

Hiya carl,    the pva was straight out the bottle un diluted, I kept the windows flat and just filled each window to the top and let it  set over night, that way it cleared to a nice see through  film but strong enough to stay there.

No lighting im affraid  as I have sealed the cabin up now,  its one of those tricks and challenges where if you hold the ship upto the light and look through the windows you can see the shadows of the furniture  - makes it intriguing that way.

Evening all,   today was  "Wicked Wench day"    under the rear cabin windows are twelve  figures  of the wicked wench,  firstly I painted them on the spru's  enamel  brass color  - then after  drying I added a couple of dark washes  finished off  with highlighting with my dry white brush  work.

 

Just the one pic though.
