Christian, based on what I know probably a brick hearth or a Brody style stove, but not a real Brody stove.

Sure Gary, I'll start taking orders ;)

 

The pots are tubes turned on the lathe to give it a small rim, bottom and handles silver soldered. I made a smaller fish pot for the stove. Work began on the doors fitted to the sides of the stove, hinges and locking mechanism works, I think they look a bit heavy for a simple door, looks more like a safe door. Have to think about this .....

Remco:

Just saw your build. Very beautiful. Your solution to the brick mortar was excellent. In fact, that is how you get mortar to stick to certain surfaces at 1:1 scale.

PVA (Polyvinyl acetate) is the active ingredient (polymer, resin, emulsion) in the glue,. It interacts with the cementitious mortar. You can buy it as a powder or a liquid in a DIY tile store although considering you used about a thimble full, I think the way you did it is the easiest.

Outstanding!! beautiful work. Viewing one can get a sense of all the work it took to build the real ships at that time.

 

I wonder just how many skilled and unskilled men (or women)to build a ship like that ?

New Bedford Whaleboat build. Kit by Model Shipways

 

 

I've been making progress on my model and according to the instruction booklet I should be painting it, at least parts of it.

Are acrylic's ok ? I did apply a sanding sealer. but I want to stain the untreated floor boards which are walnut.

 

Thanks

They look just fine for Cast Iron doors Remco.

I most certainly do Remco, and this is even better, if that's possible!

Fantastic work!  That arch is my favorite detail, along with the handles on the pots, and the mortar between the bricks, and . . . and . . .

Outstanding, Remco.  I love the realistic brick colors and the pots are magnificent.  I assume you wil be putting a masonry base under it?  Does the deck framing provide additional fireplace carlings and pillars to take the load?

 

Ed

Thanks guys.

Ed, I will make a brick base underneath. My NMM plans don't show additional carlings or pillars so I'll leave the layout as it is.

 

Yes Sir Druxey, soot coming up, I had to make a little fire in the hearth to create this ;)

All it needs now is a chimney to the upper deck and then I'll ask permission to call this challenge completed

Permission granted!

Absolutely realistic (only the stew and the cook are missing, otherwise we would happily belive it was the real thing!)

 

Going this way, I guess reliable maps in the chart-room will be your next objective :)

Fantastic looking hearth Remco and also the pots.  Now also a few ladles and pokers and other utensils they may have used.  And while you are at it with making charts you may as well make a few oil lamps for the captain's cabin.  John Texxn5 better get on the ball and cook off some wale oil to sell you  ;)  ;)

 

Cheers,

A chart room.... lets's see. look now, Piet's getting carried away already ;)

 

First the chimney, I was looking through my books because these came in al sorts and shapes

 

post-20-0-90546500-1396771847_thumb.png

 

But fortunately TFFM hinted me to also check my NMM plans and guess what the chimney was drawn in so getting the shape right was easy peasy. (reminder look more on the NMM plans there is more on it than I had thought)

 

The pyramid shape was diver soldered from some scrap pieces, the funnel turned and tapered on the lathe.

The floor was added in front of the stove. And here it is ready to be lit :) this was really a fun challenge to do, thank you Druxey for inspiring me to give it a try.

Brilliant! When is the first sitting for the meal? And, yes, the NMM plans often show interesting details, if you look for them in the mass of lines. You are welcome, Remco!
