The Stair Well in The Master Swordsman Pub & Inn

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well and that you are enjoying the beginning of Summer! The kids are now off from school for their summer break which will allow me to enjoy their company more and I will get to do more miniature work.

Finally the staircase in the Master Swordsman Pub & Inn are all ready. They did take quite a while to finish but it's definitely worth it. 

Today being a public holiday in Malta, I got to spend most of the day in my workshop, finishing the staircases. 

I still had to do three set of stairs with stair rods and holders to fit the carpeting in the stairs. 

I started off by fixing the stair posts which I have stained. Then I drilled the lower part of each step where the holders of the stair rods would be placed.

Once the stair rods and the holders were in place, I have placed the carpet and continued working with the stair railing and posts. 

When finally the three sets of stair were done I placed them one by one in their place. 

I was so happy seeing the staircases in place with the carpet and all. The next step was adding more decoration to the stairwell. I have added wall lights at the back wall but still it could afford more.

I decided to do a few paintings. The paintings had to be sword related. Just like I have done in the J.R. Art Gallery, I printed the paintings on canvas then framed them. 

Two of the frames are actually photos. The images have been edited to look more like paintings. After all this project is called The Master Swordsman Pub & Inn and I couldn't have any less but the pictures of a real Master Swordsman. I'm lucky enough to know how to handle a sword and use it but I'm luckier that I am a daughter of Master Swordsman. I'm very proud that my father indeed is a "Maestro" in the art and this is quite a tribute to him. Sword fighting runs through me. I have known the sword from a very young age. I would say I grew up with the same discipline, dedication and love for the sword and it's all thanks to him.  Besides that we still have our miniatures in common. So this goes to you Paps! Thanks for being a wonderful father and for always being there for me.

So most of the paintings will go around the whole project which also include the stairwell. In front of the guest room on the first landing I added a piece of furniture and added a few accessories. 

So here are a few more pictures of the stairwell in the project.

This is all for today. Hope you have like what I have done so far.  Can't wait to add more to this project. Actually I will start introducing a few new guests that will be part of the project so keep tuned for the next update.

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,
