Here are a few pics of my progress and hopefully close to a final version of the DUKW anchor to replace the one that comes in the kit. It has 8 brass parts and 1aluminum. The parts are measured, cut, then hammered with a small brass mallet to give a more realistic forged metal look to the finish, then shaped and glued. The hammering adds to the look alot instead of using the materials pristine fom the LHS.

enjoy







thanks and enjoy,

Sweet, Kevin!

I did the same thing in plastic, but it took about three tries.

Three tries you say?...i could fill the cargo hold of the DUKW with the versions I went through to get to this one...thanks

Kevin that is mighty nice work. Now if you have a spare I know this Dingo Bait called Roo in Aussie that would accept it. :-) :-)

I fixed my anchor by hiding parts of it under a tarp, LOL

Looks really good.

that's a very nice anchor. had i saw this earlier..i might have tried making one..this one is nice. has chain and moving parts too. the kit's anchor look so flat. thanks for sharing.
