Bower anchor project by Sizzolo

Last quick pics of the project this year. As you can see the figures aren’t finished yet - just started painting. The kedge anchor is fun but I’ll probably need my mate (professional jeweller) to affix the arms as they’re currently just glued and I can’t generate a good silver solder joint with my own limited skills/equipment. It was fun to make and easy to file. I doubt it’ll be used in the final display though. Who knows.
 

The buoy rope needs binding to the bower and then the ‘bower anchor’ part is complete and I’ll stop this thread.

Forgot say; the amount of serving above the buoy knot on the buoy rope turned out to be the perfect length to support the wrapping around the bower anchor. It’s nice when the theory matches the practical - v rewarding for model makers.
 

Happy new year all.
