    😂 Your son bringing home cardboard from school is so relatable. My daughter told her pre-K teachers “mommy and daddy are garbage people.” My husband actually is a sanitation worker, so with a little more explanation in Kindergarten we graduated to “daddy is a garbage man and mommy just likes garbage”. 😂
    The figurehead looks amazing!!!

    It’s kind of cool to think that since the workspace is so close to the captain’s bedroom that maybe when she can’t sleep (or maybe doesn’t sleep) she goes out there to “clear her mind” with crafts like ship replica building and restoring the old ship pieces. Might need to add a coffee cup for her late night energy to work on those projects. Haha!

    Sitting at my work table, while watching the Captain's workbench build, I so wanted to say 'she needs light!'. Of course, assuming you were past the point of adding anything in that area, you wouldn't hear it from me. Needless to say, I was so happy to see the lights added for her century old eyes. Thanks Ara (that is from the Captain).

    When you hung the figurehead, "majestic" was my first thought. And that is what a figurehead should be. This project has been incredible to watch unfold, eager to see it through to the finish (and read the story).

    I’m not sure which I’m more excited about!!! I just watched this with my mom and we both love seeing the hats and sword and scabbard in the project and so thrilled you like them. I’m tickled you noticed all the details on my part of the creation, the sword and scabbard. I’m not exactly prolific maker, more an ideas person. But I’m just as excited about the figurehead! Major Cthulhu vibes and I totally love me some Lovecraft! Everything is just so amazing on this project, and just the things you think to do I would never think about! But I learn and consider as I create concepts. I’m really happy to see it all come together and very proud of you. And stormy, for getting the fly! ❤️❤️❤️ from both of us, Chelsea and Catherine

    I learned in college, from my art teacher; that Murphys Oil can save your paint brushes. Yes, The Murphys oil, that you use for cleaning/condishing wood. Leave your paint brush to soak for 10-30 mins in it full strength. Then start gently cleaning it as it gets soft. When it's clean set to dry. I know that thier are thousands of paint brush cleaning hacks, this one actually works. Try it before you throw away another brush.

    • @BentleyHouseMinis
      @BentleyHouseMinis  8 місяців тому +2

      Thank you for this tip! Thankfully I have not thrown away the brush... I just keep it for the purpose of using with dry wall spackle. But I will give it a try and see if it works!

    So much I don't know where to start! 🥰 The figurehead looks amazing! The aquatic form explains a lot about the love of ships and coral. I love the details in the Restoration Bay and around the hallway underneath, especially the "Guard Cat" signs. 😸 (Centauri actually looks pretty friendly, though.) The drop cloth is a good idea so the Captain doesn't drip paint or turpentine on the hallway underneath! The straw lighting looks just right, too. I look forward to meeting the new character and learning more about the Captain's story.

    • @BentleyHouseMinis

    This was really super cool, you accomplished so many things considering one project, your Alien Captain was imo a big project on its own. I really love this ship, it's just so cool. I love how your ship evolved over time!! You probably had the end goal in your mind all along. It'll be a huge hit at the museum, it's so creative and innovative plus so finely detailed!! I also wanted to say that imo your Alien Captain reminds me of a cross between Star Trek and Pirates of The Caribbean!! It's just so cool!! ❣️

      To be honest, I had no idea it would look like this in the beginning so it's been a surprise for us all lol! The Figurehead definitely was a big task to take on (especially so late in the project) but I always kind of had an idea of how it would look so that part of the process was quick. I am so glad you like how it came out! Thank you!

It happened again! This time when I tossed it on the floor, my cat brought it back up and gave it to me. Not to play, just because she wanted me to have it.

    Thank you for sharing. A thought for your bag of triangles: maybe some really intresting patterned wooden flooring or a tile wall/backsplash/ceiling? Outside miniatures they could be added to a frame either to cover it or just add some extra intrest to certain sides or corners, holes drilled into two matching to make earrings that make you think of the project or a charms for a bracelet or necklace, or you could glue them together to make a small sculptural art piece for a desk or shelf.

    It was a walnut shell for a minute 😂 the details are so good in the restoration area, the sculpt is wild! The only thing I might add is one random towel and/or tool left on the top level OR the actual figurehead. Ha! I’d definitely leave a tool or rag somewhere and forget it’s there.
    But seriously your insane attention to detail has made strides in this project!

It really looks like, the captain has just stepped away from that area, for just a moment. I love the model space ship area too. The lighting you made for it is perfect, for the space.

    The head figure came out awesomely, and I'm glad you added a reminder about adding water to the lightweight spackle, I think I can save mine, 🤔 hope I didn't throw it away.
    When you were creating the Infinity hall (so long ago) did you ever imagine that area looking like it does now and all that is going on?!?!
    I also realized I never sent you those scrolled maps I made, and now kicking myself, this would have been a perfect opportunity to use them and save you some work, you said you had so many I didnt send any.🫣🥺 Note To Self: When Ara says she has so many, send more!!😊❤
