I've just made a new set of anchors from brass. The shank from 4.5mm square, the arms [1-piece] from 1" x 1/8" flat & the palms from 1mm sheet, I silver soldered the shanks to the arms, & solder paste to attach the palms. The assemblies were then 'filed' to shape with motor tool & sanding drums. The spigots at the top of the shanks locate in slots milled in the stocks - no glue required. I'm now awaiting some 1.5mm copper wire to make the rings & solder them closed, before blackening them.

A set each of resin printed lanterns, & fire buckets were purchased from ; Woody's Model Works (Thank you Neil). This was after the brass kit ones turned out unsatisfactory [to my eye].
Note the 'GR' emblems.
