themadchemist Posted October 30, 2014 #811 Posted October 30, 2014 I would say that the gunner will say..."make mine pepperoni and mushroom and hold the weevil" Beautiful small details Daniel. it reminds me of the distiller Nils built for his Peggy's stove. I love this kind of detailed Research and Development. Thanks for sharing as always. I wrote it out rather then use the acronym R&D as with XXXDAn around the D could stand for Deconstruction. BTW, how big is that forge next to the tic-tac-penny, your Vicky distorts scale perception due to its detail, especially on those guns. WackoWolf, dafi, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote
lambsbk Posted October 30, 2014 #812 Posted October 30, 2014 Nice stove anyway ... sorry it can't be used here. I too had the eyebolts placed after the deck was installed. Yours look sooo much better. I had predictable problems - between the deck cambor, bulwark angle, drill angle, and fat fingers - the gun tackle became tedious but the results are good. I really like the train tackle you have installed. I did not yet 'tackle' that on my build. Quote Dave U.S.S. Constitution 1:96 Revell build with fiber optic lighting

So where do you buy 1.2 meter tic tac's I missed the bellows earlier, thanks for pointing them out and for taking the time for a tic tac reference shot, That only makes it all the more amazing.

dafi Posted November 1, 2014 Author #817 Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Almost as important as the small mobil but too big forge is the surrounding bits (after Goodwin): Beside the gunsmith, his helpers, anvil and hammer was needed: - 3 man on the elm tree pump to pump and to keep clear the house to the forge - wetten deck nicely and spread sand - 3 buckets full of sand - 3 buckets of water for emergencies and to harden the goods - keep the fire small - the 3 fireman have to man the pump until everything is off for sure and all the ashes are lowered overboard in an iron bucket to the lee side - check everywhere if any hazards could be still found Cheers, Daniel @Keith: weevils were out, so he had to take the bug-less pizza ... @Mark: Ah, it was him who bit the waiter ... @Joe: Be asured - and thats a threat!

amateur Posted November 1, 2014 #819 Posted November 1, 2014 You;re right, compared to the tictac, the stove is exceptionally large. I'm still wondering: if this thing is a furnace, that means (almost open) fire. Therefore, you expect it to be secured to the deck. However, securing it, implies that it is no longer mobile.... Although, you could use the three fire-man to get the thing to the next deck Jan dafi 1 Quote
