Along time ago, about 25 years, I purchased 1/192 white metal anchors for my scratch built USS Alaska model that I just completed. These were accurate navy anchors of the correct size. I now need two more for the 1/192 Missouri I have just started, but unfortunately I don't remember where I purchased them before and even if they are still available. I'm thinking it was HR Products, but they don't list them as being available. Does anyone know where I might by these or do I have make them myself?

Re: BB Anchors
I don't think these would be the right size since they are for the HMS Sheffield, a British cruiser, but thanks for the website infoTimmy C wrote:Maybe John R. Haynes? http://johnrhaynes.com/catalog/fitting- ... uct/JRH26/?

Re: BB Anchors
I was surprised you did not add the top shackle to the anchors. Is it possible or is it too small and delicate? It doesn't need to be a separate, articulated piece I don't think.
I suppose it could be fabricated with a piece of wire... Many thanks for your endeavors, regardless.

Re: BB Anchors
Yes, exactly, too small to print in small scales (I designed it originally as a separate piece). Another consideration is that acrylic plastic is quite brittle. In small scales, the shackle would likely not survive much handling frustrating the modeler who paid for it. I think another medium might be better (stronger), say stretched sprue or wire.Harquebus wrote:I was surprised you did not add the top shackle to the anchors.

If you think it's a necessary feature, I can include one for the larger scales.
Thoughts?

I think so, especially since on some vessels the end of the anchor is visible in the hawse pipe and some people display them lowered.
