Anchor Windlass

Parts for Windlass

I cannot believe that Artesania Latina only provided these pieces for the Windlass.

The middle piece has a Figurehead carved on top of it… So I guess AL assumes that I’m good at carving??? ..

I’ll give it a good try though! ..

🤔🙄😲🎉👍

Here’s the diagram

Glued a piece of Manzonia Dowel in the middle

I put a little piece of Manzonia Dowel in the center to simulate the Rachet gear.

Windlass Pawl

I simulated the hole in the middle with some black ink.

Primed and Painting

I have some Martha Steward Craft Paint. The color is Tartan Red. Looks like I’ll need a few coats.

Figurehead

This figurehead came in the kit broken. Her arm was off the body. Not sure if it was supposed to be this way or not.

I think I may go with my Contact Cement / Superglue combo.

So I used contact cement to get the arm to stick on there then I’m going to dribble a little bit of super glue around it.

Her name is Melanie
