Mako Magellan Menswear

Although my newest shop arrived some weeks ago, I was not able to see the effects myself for some time, due to a few travel hiccoughs and interplanetary high jinks. Notwithstanding all that, herewith, and without further unconscionable delay, a photograph of the new Mako Magellan edifice in the recently opened developers' field at Beach City (in the location designated NL04).

The shop has a limited range of my items in menswear, ladieswear, and accessories.

Another in the popular range of ladies court shoes. This model has a slightly stronger texture on the upper, and has a black sole.

It was customary for gentlemen, both military and civilian, to carry swords in the 18th century. The swords had become ceremonial in purpose, were light and intended to decorate rather than to defend. This is a design based very closely on court swords of the period, with a small coquille and very thin blade. It is supported by straps attached to a belt (not rendered, as it could interfere with clothing) which would be hidden under a waistcoat.

Two Regency-style tables are now in my shop in Caledonia. The first is a large rectangular banqueting table that can sit six to ten people, the second is a smaller round table suitable for four places. Remember that most Blue Mars shelves display all merchandise in a 1-metre cube, so these items will look considerably smaller than they will appear when you place them at home. The larger table is over three metres long and the round table has a diameter of 1.68 metres.

Working with Blue Mars is most definitely a learning process - a fact that has been emphasised all over again while working with cabinetry. I admit to having been learning on the job. Since first releasing the items of furniture listed below, I've found ways to make them better. If you have already purchased one or more of them, please contact me so that I may provide you with replacements. Note that I have included the mark of each item. If your items have a lower mark then you should upgrade to these ones.

• Regency Chest of Drawers Mk II  -  more realistic materials, and the ability to place other objects on top of it
• Early 19th Century French Writing Desk in Cherry Wood Mk VI  -  corrected scaling, more realistic materials, and the ability to place other objects on top of it
• Regency Chair Elegant Black-Gold Mk IV  -  more realistic materials, and the ability to place other objects on top of it (though how this will look I do not know)
• Regency Chair Sturdy Blue-Gold Mk IV  -  more realistic materials, and the ability to place other objects on top of it (though how this will look I do not know)
• Victorian Hatstand in Cherry Wood Mk V  -  more realistic materials, and the ability to place other objects on top of it (though how this will look I do not know)

I am keeping my fingers crossed that these versions will be final.
