HMS Race Horse Build Log - Day 4

Day 4 - 5 Hours Work

As mentioned in the previous day, the cabin sits between bulkhead #10 and #11 where there's very limited space for me to design it. I drew plan to make sure everything sits right:

Draft on Captain's Cabin

So, I've only 49mm * 25mm of space for me to include everything into the cabin!!! This is going to be very challenging!! :D 

I started with the table first. Since I still kept all leftover wood pieces of my Black Pearl making, it makes my work easier... 

Table

No big issue on making this.. around 20mm * 8mm.

And then, the chair..

The Chair, Tiniest Among All

Making the chair is the hardest part. To make sure all these furnitures looks in ratio, the chair's seat needs to be only at 4mm * 4mm, and its legs at 1mm * 1mm!! The tiniest wood strips I have is only 1mm * 2mm, in which I'll have to cut them in two!! It took me around 30 minutes to complete this, after breaking few wood strips..

The Map!

Scroll Dip with Coffee to Give Vintage Effect

I've also made a map (ok, just a paper.. :P) to fill the table. In order to give it a vintage effect, I added some flavours on it :D 

I canceled my cabinet planning, and replaced it with a mirror. This idea came out when I was eating snack for my breakfast, which the inside of plastic bag is a good reflective body. :)

Mirror with Stands Using Previous Ship's Material

The stands are the leftover pinrail material from the Black Pearl, which I think suitable for this too. 

To fill up the big empty space on the port side, I added another pole hanger. It is made by using one copper nail as its pole, and copper rings as the hangers. It really took me sometimes to glue the hangers on the pole...

Pole Hanger Beside the Table

For the bed.. Too sad that I've forgotten to take photo on its progress..

It's done by using a 4mm thick wood piece, and few small pieces to tissue papers. I put a folded tissue beneath first, to make a 'bulge' effect, and then only 'wrapped' the whole thing up as a bed sheet. 

For the pillow, I cut out a long 'tissue-strip' and wrap it up at one end of a wood strip. Glued it, and then cut off the end of the strip. :)

Captain's Cabin As Seen to Stern Side

Take a close look, and you'll see a pen in a container on the table. :) The container is made by a spanker bead from my Black Pearl; while the pen is made by a refill of mechanical pencil! :) And yes, I made another chair to fill up the space!

Now left only a door to complete.. 

It's done by using the removed part from the half deck.. I added planks on it, and drilled a hole as sash of door, and then a nail as door knob! :)

Door to Captain's Cabin

So, it's how it looks like now!!! ^^
