Recommended Posts

Thanks Ed and druxey. It has come a long way from just a picture in a book and thanks to you guys for the gentle push to do even better. Of course build's like yours help to set the bar. As far as the scale pig, I just may go to the railroaders to find one and maybe a chicken and cow. :D Gary

Thanks every one and those folks for there likes. I have got the stove further along and do think  I have come close to the cast iron look, at least as close as my skill will let me. Well back to work on her gun deck guys. Here is some updated photo's guys, and Mr Jones finally got a paint job along with the stove. Some were he seem to have picked up a slop bucket. Now I wonder where he got that from. Thanks again guy's.

Hi Mark and thank you sir.

 

I had some metal priming paint that I sprayed it with and then sprinkled it with baby powder, not to much and most was blown off before the final coat of flat black was put on. I do believe that David in vol 2, TFFM, talked about putting some on the mould before he poured the metal for cannon's, to give them a cast look, so figure why not. I did do a little dry brushing with  a couple of different paint colors on top of that to help  high light certain area's. My wife thinks its a cute little stove, which is okay with me, being that she is my biggest critic.

 

 Thanks druxey. 

 

Gary

Hi everyone,  I went and made a few items to go with the stove but after looking in on Remco stove and pot's, find his to be a lot cuter so going to have to do a little face lift on mine to make them just a tad cuter, if that's possible  ^_^  Beside got to thinking, whats a stove with out  pot's and pan's. :D  Remco see what you went and made me do. ^_^ Gary
