Had a bit of bad luck and misplaced / lost some hammock cranes 10 in total I have no idea where they went and have had my model room upside down looking with no luck so on to the anchors while I wait for replacements update to follow

Amazing work Brian. Hope the pooches are feeling happier soon!

Cheers Joe they are doing ok thanks for asking

The anchors are easy enough just need to find something to use for the banding

More great work Brian.

Below is some reference material that you may find useful.


These images come from a book called The Young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor. Originally published in 1760 and updated in 1819. You can get reproduction editions of this original book as in this image.



Check it out on Amazon etc. I found it to be the most useful thing for everything concerned with rigging and even sailing a three masted ship.

Finished the hull apart from a few small jobs. was the hammock cranes loaded just for battle or all the time ? the reason I'm asking is I'm struggling to find 100% cotton tulle for a reasonable price.
