a beautiful day today and im going on holiday for two weeks tomorrow so i took the opportunity to take some photos outside in the sun, i have just finished the gun deck this weekend , just need to remake the capstan and a few other bits like guns!!! i oiled the starboard side just before the pictures so its a bit shiny in places but nice to be out in the sun from the garage i have also added the tiller sweep and the cross pieces with sheaves for the tiller ropes which can be seen in this last photo thanks everybody and see you in a couple of weeks

Brodie stove fire bricks i tried fastening down the bricks with pva but that doesnt work, so i fastened to the brass with industrial CA,this is the version with glued down bricks sanded over with a diamond file

one problem with all these suggestions is that pease pudding is usually a yellow colour, however proper mushy peas as us northerners eat with fish and chips and lots of vinegar are really green and a similar colour to copper verdigis marrowfat peas soaked overnight cooked with salt and sugar and served with fish and chips - fantastic ha!!!!!!!!!!

thanks robin, ed and mark for the info and suggestions, and everyone's likes, I think I will try it both ways and see how it looks, the bricks came in a packet of 500 so I don't need to worry to much about wasting a few I can use some pva with paint added to give the effect but stick them to the base first, I did try sanding one with a very fine diamond file and it created a very fine dust which I could also use maybe between the bricks

thanks robin and ed for your comments Ed I think you have hit the nail on the head and that is the way to go, I mentioned the movement of the wood earlier and there being no sense having the fire brick under the plate either I recently read somewhere about a layer of sand on top of the bricks, could that be the way the gaps were filled, I think it was the hmb endeavour stove I was reading about that mentioned the sand and some pictures of it on the internet

thanks Mark, Druxey, Ken and Gary some great suggestions, mark the bricks are ceramic I think but they snap in half very easily so I'm not sure I always thought ceramic was really hard I did try last night to glue two together with a drop of pva with some white paint mixed in as mark suggested, but they hadn't stuck when I had a quick look earlier, polyfilla sounds like a good idea to try first as readily available Gary thanks for the link, I didn't find that ebay shop when I was searching for the bricks or I could have ordered together cheers

Thanks for all the comments and likes, Gerhard medium rare would be much better-got to have a little blood!! The scale bricks arrived today so i laid a few out to see what they would look like, I really like colours but still have no idea how to make the lime mortar/grouting any suggestions??

Brodie stove completed, except for the chain to drive the spits its more or less finished, a bit more cleaning up and paint touch up to do and in situ on the boat, now onto the fire bricks/plate and then back to knees-lovely ive ordered some scale bricks from an internet site to see how they will look for the plate under the stove, not sure how to make the lime mortar as robin points out or even how to fasten them in but will have to experiment when they arrive
-
thanks for the nice comments and likes, druxey i could probably just about fit a quail breast on the spit when youre ready for dinner
-
managed to do some more on the Brodie stove, spit arms, pot hanging racks and the front cowl above the fire grate, all working and moving in and out, some cleaning up to and trim the hinge bolts on the cowl I have also painted matt black one side panel, looks a bit retro with the black and shiny brass??/

hi mark nice work, I'm having similar problems and have put of the galleries for that reason, the syrius design was based on a Spanish frigate and a one off and I only have the NMM plans and as you so no plan view, as you mentioned re my stove tiles go with how you think they should look, assuming they were the toilet like English ships should give you an idea as long as someone could get in and sit down it should work
-
thanks robin, mark and Gerhard great idea and thanks for the link and all the likes so do we agree the tiles/stones would go on top of the iron plate under the stove?, I also read somewhere about sand covering the tile/stone but don't fancy trying to model that I'm leaning towards a metal plate with turned up edges as robin said then stone tiles on top, but not sure whether they should be square or rectangular but laid brick fashion with lighter mortar between
-
congratulations on the book news, still think tossed would look best and put on quite a show

hi Greg Sorry I only just found this log and have just read up to date, lovely work you are doing
-
On the subject of the stone tile underneath, i was looking at some pictures online of the victory, endeavour and trincomalee they appear to have square tiles on top of a metal sheet,as robin pointed out earlier, but in the ATOS Diana the plan shows the tiles underneath the plate basically on top of the beams any suggestions also the pictures from the victory which i know is a reproduction appear to show square terracotta style tiles as you used to have in industrial kitchens??
-
remade fire door, oven door on the other side, flue access and ash door i also added the fire bars on the front
-
just to be awkward I think displaying them tossed would look fantastic and as they would have been while waiting at the quayside

thanks robin, I'm not happy with it because the hinges don't line up properly so I will have a to change it (I will try and keep a working version if possible) I do have some more artefact photos to post soon, apparently the weather has been awful in Mauritius and not much diving has been going on, as soon as I get some new pictures I will post up

started to make the fire and oven doors, the fire door has a working hinge but I'm probably going to remove it and remake as it opens but doesn't look to clever, door latches on both doors work though and slide across
