Title: Anchor windlass and gearing
Post by: bianco64squalo on 18 Apr , 2017, 00:28

Hi everybody,
as said in the last topic I started ( forward torpedo loading well ), in Trumpeter's model I have the possibility to superdetailing the anchor windlass, coming in kit in a very poor manifacture.
I'd like to have some details ( photos or drawings ) of all the anchor windlass apparatus ( gearings, shafts, capstans, drums, etc... ), for improving that zone of deck/hull.
I post some photos of other models found in internet....
Thanks in advance for any help.
Filippo

Thanks David, can you give me the link for your model building report ? Are all the photos you posted on your thread still available ? And, if not, can you send me at my mail ( filippo@saracostruzioni.eu ) or by private message ?
Thanks in advance

Hi David, I saved all the photos from your site model building on my computer, but they are of very poor quality, with low resolution: can you send to me, at my e-mail, at least the photos of the interiors ? They would be very useful for my Trumpeter model building..
Thanks in advance.
