KORTES Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share #217 Posted June 27, 2019 My greetings, dear colleagues, I Submit for Your judgement anchors. I never did the casting, and after talking to my colleagues I realized that in order to obtain the desired result, among other things you need to get some practice ,through a system of trial and error for which time is needed. Therefore, after weighing everything, I decided to just cut the anchors, for the lack of brass, I used 3mm iron sheet. I had to make 4 pieces, taking my time I spent days on it. I used a cutting wheel, files, broaching file, a drill, of course, and the final stage a micro-drill. druxey, JOUFF, KARAVOKIRIS and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriedClams Posted June 27, 2019 Share #225 Posted June 27, 2019 Whenever I catch up on your build log, I always know I'm in for a visual treat. Your sails turned out beautifully Alexander. The color, texture and feel of them is very authentic. And your anchors are well - superb. Your work always slaps me out of my complacency and inspires me to work harder to improve my own modeling.

J11 Posted June 28, 2019 Share #231 Posted June 28, 2019 Superb craftsmanship, I will incorporate your skill and procedures for my builds in the future. Appreciate the step by step images. You should think on the lines of selling these anchors in different sizes as they are exquisite. Or maybe offer them as a needed basis from modelers wanting this style and level of detail. dvm27 and mtaylor 2 Quote Current build project: CSS Alabama 1/96 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/20148-css-alabama-by-jonathan11-revell-196-scale-kit-bash-90-historical-accuracy/ Finished build projects 2018: H.L Hunley 1/24 CSS Arkansas 1/96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KORTES Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share #237 Posted July 7, 2019 Greetings, dear Jan When I was working on the La Jacinthe, I was following the principle - all that I could make myself, was made by myself. The blocks were not an exception, so as the required number wasn't high, I made them myself. The exception were only 10 pieces of 2mm, that were too many to be made, so I had to buy them.
