I only know 1/350 anchors in photoetch metal but in that scale they look kind of flat. Sorry not much help.

Cheers,

Yes, always thought England having a proud naval history would have a cottage industry for this hobby.

Many anchors , and many of the people there can rescale their 3d prints for you , I didn't look all the way thru , but saw a few nations warship anchors.

This one is narrowed down further @ https://www.shapeways.com/marketpla...00&facet[price][from]=1&facet[price][to]=2500

I know some manufacturers suggest giving a few coats of pva to add some body to them

Do you know how big they need to be. Length and width.
Then its a case of a Radio control shop that does boats and you will 100% find something you can use. If you email and ask they can probably tell you which ones you would need to buy.

Apologies. shapeways were shipping to UK , they get a local affiliate printer normally to do that country's print jobs, or did, looks like they are no longer doing that.

Even this company https://brigademodels.co.uk/Shapeways/index.html have shut down their Shapeways store. Guess imports etc ( lots got printed in a Netherlands print farm for EU orders ) are too much grief now.

This guy is on Shapeways , and makes lots of Royal Naval bits n pieces , and is based in New Zealand , https://www.facebook.com/groups/MicroMaster/ has lots of good reviews if you cant get a uk/eu dealer with what you need.
