Many Thanks for your interest .... to be continued .....

The galley stove looks great Uwe. The brick effect is very realistic. When I saw the stove included with part 2 of the kit I was planning to do something similar when l reached that stage. I just hope I can get anywhere near as good results. I do not like working with PE though

Such beautiful work! I believe the stove's hood and stack are made of brass; what finish did you use to get the metal/pewter finish? It works SO well here.

Hallo,
yes the material is brass - for blackening, or better to say bluening I am using Balistol,
which available here in Europe (unfortunately not in the USA as we discussed once)

You are absolutely right - not the easiest material to work with - but the finla result is not bad at all
BTW: This stove can be ordered from CAF also separately - so if somebody needs a stove in this scale

Bardzo ładnie wyglądają twoje ścianki i ich wykończenie jak również podłogi. Pozdrawiam Mirek

Hello
Your walls and their finishing, as well as the floors, look very nice. Regards, Mirek

I like the jagged cuts where the walls and floors "end".

Jagged? I was thinking that looked just like my normal jigsaw work.

Good afternoon Uwek. A very clever way of presenting the cabin wall-Love the "jaggered" effect, especially as this is a sawn in half model. Cheers Grant

Your weathering for the oven is very impressive Uwe. It’s not easy to do it well but you have made it look very realistic.

 

[Steef66]

I like the way you open up the wall.

Your bitten off wall comes across very well. Your stove is fantastic.

It is not so easy to make ...... believe me - a straight cut is eaiser

Now the next work are the pumps - first in the lower half of my model - all together the HMS Granado had four elm tree pumps.
One pair fore close to the main mast for the bilge water pumping (red arrows)
and
One pair aft close to the mizzen mast for sea water sucction for domestic and fire-fighting pumping (green arrows)



First the fore elmtree pumps for Bilge water which are located in a pump well box





Here you can reconginze where I made the "cut "







Many Thanks for your interest ..... to be continued .....

In that cover of the pumps, in Dutch called sood, there is in a Pinas for example a lid on top. To reach the inside to clean the copper spherical strainer.

Good afternoon Uwek. That is wonderful joinery. The pumpbox fits perfectly. Did you bevel each plank of the pumpbox to create that effect? It is very good. Cheers Grant.
