This Alexander Brodie Galley Stove 1:64 scale model was scratch built by mistake, as I was advised it was too modern for HMS Fly! The Brodie Stove can be seen on HMS Victory, situated in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, UK. Together with the photograph, I have included a plan, the research documents I used and its construction.

Your post on the stove could not have been timed better for me. My current build requires a stove on deck and this one will nicely do. Thanks.
 
I am very pleased to hear this, but do check on the type of stove which would be on your build. I spent months building the Brodie Stove only to be told it would be too modern for HMS Fly. (I should have done my research properly!) I will post the Stove I have now fitted to HMS Fly just for your comparison. I will also be using Fibre Optics to provide light to the coals, and if you would like to see how I did this just let me know.

I have now posted my Firehearth for HMS Fly; you can compare the differences.

Thanks again. This is even more appropriate for my small schooner. It is in 1/85 scale so hearth details will be lacking. i just needed something that would look good on deck. If you are into miniature furniture check out this web site: https://www.artic.edu/highlights/12/thorne-miniature-rooms. The Art Institute of Chicago has a series of miniature rooms that viewing as a modeler blew my mind. The crafting is unbelieveable and I could only dream about having that level of modeling skills.

I have just visited the miniature furniture rooms and they are quite fantastic! Certainly an inspiration. Remember the HMS Fly Firehearth is 1:64 scale, and it should not be too difficult to scale down
 
Many thanks CC, I know it takes a lot of time to document such things, but it's very appreciated. I actually built your previous version of this stove for my Fly! I get it might not be period correct, but I doubt anyone coming to my lounge room will complain LOL!
