Vivian Galad Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share #97 Posted March 14, 2014 Raymond, that´s a good idea. Probably some paintings or calligraphy work. Brigada!! Sam, thank u. You´r clearly exagerating, but I get happy anyways. Ulises, thanks. I´m thinking in giving a little enameled finish to the chest and desk - I´ll try it at least. Popeye, glad u passed by.

Vivian Galad Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share #102 Posted March 17, 2014 Mark, they´re part of sutras on the grass style, copied from a caligrapher from the song dinasty on the Ming dinasty - That´s what would be found in most official buildings since during the Yuan and Ming dinasty the neo-confucionism was the ruling philosophy - and the explanation why the emperor and noble families were who they were. The two of them are parts of the heart sutra, one of the most important sutras for Buddhists. themadchemist, mtaylor and BETAQDAVE 3 Quote Current: Red Dragon (modified) by Vivian Galad - Artesania Latina - 1:60 Oseberg (modified) by Vivian Galad - Amati (1:50)Cocca Veneta by Vivian Galad - Corel - 1:70 Finished 15th Century Latin Caravel kit model from Artimanha models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivian Galad Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share #107 Posted March 18, 2014 Sam, after studying a thesis regarding lights on ships, came to the conclusion that candles weren´t used in those times, not in ships. I´m working on some small pieces to put on my desk, though - working with tin for that matter. ^^ Hey, Max. I worked with banks´ interior design, but east asia is my first shot!! After the cabin is closed, there´ll be 4 windows (2 on each side) and 2 doors to peer inside. Doors will be functional, so u can let it closed and open only to take a look inside from another angle. ^^ maggsl_01, CaptainSteve, Bindy and 1 other 4 Quote Current: Red Dragon (modified) by Vivian Galad - Artesania Latina - 1:60 Oseberg (modified) by Vivian Galad - Amati (1:50)Cocca Veneta by Vivian Galad - Corel - 1:70 Finished 15th Century Latin Caravel kit model from Artimanha models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it can be really better, though - but that makes me go further!! =** Grácias, amigo Raymond! I´m giving my ship some hard times when it comes to put research into life. Have already changed that cabin a little bit, but I think it´s for the best. The bed got a lot more detailed, and desk have it´s own juice too. Now I´m struggling with my doors, so they can be functional. ^^ Sam, oil! Oil lamps were used in ships, mainly whale oil. ^^ Bindy, my many thanks. But your tenacity on redoing what was troubling you is my inspiration, too.

Vivian Galad Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share #117 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Frank, thanks ^^ No problem in saying my technique. I used two coats of bitumen wax over sanded yelowish wood - The AL mukali wood seemed too clear to me, and something that needed some staining. Since I´m a wax fan, that´s what I used. Sanded, waxed, cleaned it with a rag, then waited for it to dry. Repeated the process to fill better gaps and holes. That´s it! Sam, Quinn, 1999 - Shipboarding Lighting: AD. 400 - 1900 Since I depict a ship from early Ming Dinasty, on the 15th century (well, that´s what I´m trying, at least), no candles.

Vivian Galad Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share #118 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Some more updates. Finished the cabin and closed it. As I study the AL plans, I wish they could be more acurate on their model - There are some issues with bullwarks stanchions, for there are none and I have to ask what holds the bullwarks in place? There are 2 platforms and nothing to hold them from below - even when they seem part of the deck, my instincts and knowledge say to me there should be some beams. Have found some problems with wood, too, since some of the them aren´t the same color they´r suposed to be - for that matter, I´m using my scrapbox. Cabin closed and planked. Still don´t know if I´ll let the wood be or if I paint it in the process - All indicates I should paint the wood, but my heart loves the wood alone. I´ll frame the windows on the outside, yet. Oh, yes, I remade the bed. It was a little rough. A night view from the deck. I´m still thinking if the rest of my lanterns should be functional. Maybe one or two.

popeye the sailor Posted March 21, 2014 Share #120 Posted March 21, 2014 looks really nice.........don't see any reason why you couldn't do bulwark stanchions {posts}. is there to be a cap rail on the bulwarks? you had to frame in the walls for the cabin.....and so you did beam for the upper deck. is there to be a fore cabin or deck? if so, then this will require posts, framing, and beams to support an upper deck (if there is to be one). looking in has a very homy feel to it......nice work!
