augie Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share #1185 Posted July 16, 2013 Been a little slow this year for some reason, Larry. We're going to change that tomorrow with a trip up to the high Rockies (10,000 +) where it's still cool and attempt to corral the elusive Arctic Grayling. Besides, I'm too tired to build after horsing around my 1/64 anchors and stocks all morning. I was attempting to follow Ben's lead by using 20 coats of paint but I guess I'm just not cut out to get above 6 Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augie Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share #1188 Posted July 16, 2013 Thanks for the well wishes, Mark. No photos forthcoming. Grayling are never lunkers ---- state record is 16" caught back in '01 (1901). Oh well, as long as I'm here............................ Here is the beginning of the anchor assemblies. I used some spruce stock I had handy to fabricate the wooden stocks. I think they're an improvement over the castings supplied with the kit (also pictured). The rings are from black 22 gauge wire --- I may serve them with thread. The simulated iron bands on the stocks are heat shrink electrical insulation. It gives a lot more texture than the suggested plastic tape. Ben --- I got to seven coats of paint on the anchors. This leaves you as undisputed Champion. Anchor buoys are next. But off to bed early ----- be up at 0300.

augie Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share #1194 Posted July 17, 2013 Thanks to all for stopping by. The idea for the shrink tubing hit me last night. With the various tapers on the anchor stock I knew tape wouldn't sit right. I was thinking of using thread and then realized I'd used the tubing on the planes in a similar fashion quite a few times.

I just touched them up with Hypocement to hold them in place. The anchor stock has a much gentler taper and maybe won't need this addition but I thought I would mention it.
