Landlocked123 Posted July 19, 2015 Share #278 Posted July 19, 2015 Hi Alex, I just read through this post from start to finish and your work is some the nicest I've seen on MSW and until now, I thought I had read though all the great builds!!!I Would it be possible for you to share how you made those fantastic checker board floor shown early in this topic. Thanks. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the build.

Alex M Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share #280 Posted September 18, 2015 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 PeteB, Timmo, egkb and 23 others 26 Quote Current build: HMS Sphynx, 20 gun ship launched in 1775 at Portsmouth, Hampshire.

Alex M Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share #287 Posted September 18, 2015 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.

wyz Posted September 25, 2015 Share #299 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Alex, thanks for the inquiry. After a fair amount of deliberation I decided to build HMS Camilla as a solid hull and not a POB model as I had posted earlier. The reason there have't been any posts is that I wanted to get back to the point where I was at before the accident happened and then start up the build log again. I didn't want to post the same old stuff until there was new material. Sadly, I have not worked on the project much lately due to some nagging health problems and some family issues. Hopefully I'll be back to it soon full force. Tom Edited September 25, 2015 by wyzwyk WackoWolf and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
