Perfect anchor. Looking at all the details you forget the tiny size of it.

Sublime work Paul

Check this out for doing the anchor ring ... ;-) There is optimisation possible

Apart from that, I don't have any more words to say about this great building anyway :-D

The smallest of updates... an anchor:

It would seem that I am the only builder on the planet who cannot wrap the ring of an anchor with rope well. I'm now 0 for 2:

Mr. Antscherl (The Fully Framed Model book series) argues that there should be a tapered split between the two halves of the anchor stock for water drainage. Makes perfect sense to me so I did it...

Thanks for the visit!

Good afternoon Paul. I love the detail of the tapered split. This is the first anchor on a model I have seen done this way - excellent. Your blackened colour is so cool as well. Cheers Grant

You never fail to impress Paul. We get to see amazing craftsmanship and learn new information about ordinary equipment. Thank you!

You call it a small update but it's a big outcome. A beautiful anchor and the split stock adds another level of the attention to detail you are so good at.

Thank you, Roger!

wow! your attention to detail is amazing. Really does look brilliant!

Thanks, Greg!

Really precise work. The anchor is looking great.

Much appreciated, Christian!

You say:

"The smallest of updates... an anchor:"

Not only a master of wood and metal working, but A MASTER OF UNDERSTATEMENT also!!

Not simply an anchor, but a custom, handcrafted and highly accurate work of art. I am particularly impressed by the "split" for water drainage. Never would have thought...

Well done!

Thanks, Brad. I did manage to take something that should have been simple and turn it into a project though .

Zgadzam się z kolegami świetnie zrobiona kotwica Pawle .Pozdrawiam Mirek

Hello
I agree with my colleagues, the anchor is very well made, Paweł. Best regards, Mirek

Thank you very much, Mirek.

Good morning Paul,
your anchor turned out perfect. I'm really impressed.

Thanks, Tobias! The learning continues...

Perfect little anchor.

Thank you, Stephan!

The smaller the update the greater the reactions…….
The ‘blackening’ of the brass came out very well, Paul. A nice deep soft coloring.
A split part is most of the time a reason for a big shout AUCH. Now its a big shout WOW. A nice detail. I suppose we will see this soon on more models ….
Regards, Peter

Hi Peter. Thanks for the nice post. I have started using a pickling solution before 'blackening' brass and I'm very happy with the results so far.

Thank you, Michael!

Perfect anchor. Looking at all the details you forget the tiny size of it.

Thanks, Herman. Yes, the close-up photos betray the real size.

Sublime work Paul

Thank you very much, Nigel!

Hmm, but how is the prewrapped round bar stock then cut without losing everything?

Dafi (Daniel, I think?) is an ultra-miniature master like yourself...

Good afternoon Paul. I love the detail of the tapered split. This is the first anchor on a model I have seen done this way - excellent. Your blackened colour is so cool as well. Cheers Grant

Thanks, Grant. I have not seen this elsewhere either. Antscherl writes with a particular authority such that I find I rarely question him...

Thank you kindly, Daniel!
