    Thank you guys for warm words! Druxey, you read my mind... I will fill the gaps with paint because it is too deep now, and I will make the "cement" a bit darker, as it is a bit too white. Alex

    Hi, here the next update. I have made the base for the stove from 0,3mm wood strips, cut in squares. The first image show the cutting jig. Second image show some the "Stones" with a pencil line I mark before cutting, it's serve as direction guide by gluing. The "stones" are glued to 1mm plywood base. To simulate the slate stone the plates are painted with diluted acrylic paint, then rubbed with pencil to give the surface "stone look" Alex

    Thank Druxey! Tom, thank you too. The proces takes some time but is not as spectacular as I may detailed explain it. Ordinary cleaning with spiritus and blackening with brass black. I have also used exacto knife, fine sand paper and steel wool on some places to remove glue. Alex

    It is blackened... was all other as easy, because the glue give a sort of patina around. after several cleaning and cleaning, blackening and re blackening it looks a little like wrong iron... here the result, I think, I can live with them... and how it looks on model: Alex

    You can look at "A Treatise of Artillery" from John Muller, printed 1768, online: https://books.google.de/books?id=vylEAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=de#v=onepage&q&f=false On page 33 he explains length of the guns. The book also contains several tables of dimensions for british and french guns. Alex

    Hello guys, many thanks for warm words! Remco, yesterday I have made images from making chain, not the best example, but I hope it explain the process: Alex
  22. Alex M
    The "chain" ... cooper wire 0,1 mm, knotted... several trials in the waste box... here the one that looks more or less OK The size is OK, still need more trials to reach consistent link size... Alex

    Druxey, it is no date given. The model is in the gallery for contemporary models, how modern, or how contemporary it is? Do you know te date it was made?

    Hello, and many thanks for your warm words! Greg, the doors are glued with industry CA glue from Würth, and hinges are faux. They are simple brass strips and rolled brass rods glued on. Druxey, yesterday I have turned pulleys, here the driven one: now I have to make a bracket, chain and chimney, and it is barbecue time (if you are not afraid of the smell of heated glue) : Alex
