Old Collingwood Posted May 16, 2020 Author #1054 Posted May 16, 2020 Hello again All, while sorting through my little box's yesterday for my other builds, I cam across some scall metal (Black) anchor chain that must have come with my other Pontos bits, but went missing - didn't know I had it, anyway "question -question" is it worth me removing the plastic kit chain that was painted white, and replacing with this scale Black metal chain?

BANYAN Posted May 17, 2020 #1059 Posted May 17, 2020 Hi OC, long time.... Are the scales of the chain the same and period correct (if you are looking for authenticity that is)? I don't know when it started, but a lot of anchor chain cables were painted white, but as suggested, yes the 'dib dabs' (as we 'seamen' branch were called by the stokers, greenies [electricians] and store keepers/box packers [supply branch] - we would dib and dab a bit of paint here and there. We would try to keep the cables nice and prettied up but that went by the wayside during operational times, especially if working the anchor a lot. cheers Pat mtaylor and popeye the sailor 2 If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)
Old Collingwood Posted May 17, 2020 Author #1060 Posted May 17, 2020 Hi Pat, I have found these Two pics on the net - one shows Hood with white chains and the other from Warpy's bridge you can just make out the same white colour chains, the problem with this kit ones they are way over scale. The only White paint i have the the Admiralty paints Acrylic in white.

shipman Posted May 24, 2020 #1068 Posted May 24, 2020 The standard of photography on this site is normally exceptional. I suppose numpty's like me have come to take it for granted. A dedicated camera doesn't have to be expensive; I've been using a Fujifilm Z2 compact for years which I bought second hand and it was ten years old when I got it. Every time I download to my laptop I'm astonished how good it is. Stay safe. popeye the sailor and Canute 2

Old Collingwood Posted May 24, 2020 Author #1070 Posted May 24, 2020 The pic above was nearly in the dark, the imminunation off a small sensor light created the shadow (thats why I took that shot) because of the darkness it needed ISO 2000 hence why it is grainy. Just love the moodyness of an late night dark shot with taht shadow.
