I’m waiting on some supplies to photo etch my midship hammock stanchions. So in the meanwhile I’ve been working on my anchors. For a change, I’ve used the kit supplied parts for the anchor and the stock. The bands on the stock are .010 x .040 Polystyrene strips. The ring is a brass rod that I formed into shape.Looking at a lot of pictures, it looks like they would wrap the ring on two sides to keep the chain and shaft separate.Using my forceps and soldering holder to hold everything I got all three wrapped and painted.I ultimately decided to have the starboard stowed with the chain attached and the port anchor will be hanging from the cathead.Another thing I found that is extremely useful, is using 50/50 Easy Dope with water to help give a look of weight. When I first had the rope from the top of the anchor to the cathead, the rope wanted to stay in more of a loop. After I had everything tied off I used a brush to put some Easy Dope to the rope. Then I placed a pair of pliers on top to hold the top of the anchor down. Once the dope was dry, the rope stayed exactly where I wanted it!

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
