Mirror Modifier problem

I’m having a problem with the mirror modifier on the base of the knight. I have gone through the lecture video a couple times but am still having the same problem with the two halves not lining up. I’ve attached pic.


Any help would be appreciated.

The mirror modifier works basically with two things : one or more axes and the origin of the object. The later seems to be the problem in your case.
You could change the origin of your knight, or choose an empty (there must be already one in your chess scene), located at a position suited to serve as a mirror.
If you decide to use an empty, you must select it in Mirror Object, situated in your modifier panel.

Thanks Svetlin,
I will look to applying an empty and see if that helps.
