DocBlake got a reaction from flying_dutchman2 in VandaLay Hold it Plus November 9, 2015

Maury: Yep. Every time George needed an alias he chose "Vandelay". When he lied about his employment he claimed to work for "Vandelay Industries".

LOL, Don!

I was really disappointed in how the stove looked before painting ; wood, paper, bits of metal and contrasting colors looked like a 5 year old's project. But I kept telling myself that the paint will change everything. It brought it together and camouflaged all my errors! Thanks.

Sorry, Ken I forgot to respond. I'm a woodworker, so I have a full compliment of tools in my shop. Most of them are not applicable to model work because of scale issues. Those I use for modeling include a Byrnes miniature table saw, a Dremel tool drill press and router attachment (both cheap and helpful) and a regular old scroll saw. Of all these, the Byrnes saw (or equivalent) is probably most important. I small benchtop sander is helpful, also.

Thanks, all. David: The stove is flat black - the lighting is giving it a kind of weird color in the photos. The Charly Noble will slip down over the protruding brass chimney. It will be made of brass and blackened.

Here's the finished stove. I still have to finish the grease tray. The stove was to have a guard rail surrounding the top cooking surface, but I felt I had to draw the line somewhere. The hinges and firebox door/oven doors are far from perfect...even in this scale every little error shows. Still, I do like working in the larger scales in general because of the detail it allows one to add.

I finished up the third coat of poly on the exterior. Before I did that, I added some trim made of purple heart above and below the great cabin lights. It carries the color scheme of the topsides around to the stern of the ship.

I cut out and cleaned up the lower deck beams, I'm planning to change a few things down there, so I started scratch building the ship's stove. The kit provides a very nice 3-D printed stove, but I wanted my own. It's kind of a modified Brodie stove without the chain-driven rotisserie. The first step was to build a "core" out of 2 pieces of wood. I then added the sides out of 1/32" plywood. The grid irons are brass rod passing through holes drilled with a #75 drill. The boiler tops and lids are made of wood, the handles and the diagonal reinforcing rods are steel wire. The oven doors, firebox door and ash tray door are all 1/64" plywood...the hinges are cardstock. I made the spit racks out of brass rod, soldered them together and trimmed them to shape. I need to add the legs, build a grease pan and add some trim to the stove before priming and painting.

Thanks, all. I'll paint the hoops on the kegs copper colored. The model already has plans for a light room .

I finished up the third coat of poly on the exterior. Before I did that, I added some trim made of purple heart above and below the great cabin lights. It carries the color scheme of the topsides around to the stern of the ship.

I cut out and cleaned up the lower deck beams, I'm planning to change a few things down there, so I started scratch building the ship's stove.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
