It is in fact a mine sweeping winch.
See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_Whyalla_%28J153%29
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_Castlemaine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathurst-class_corvette
for the origins, employment and survivors of this class of ships.

Excellent winch, and of course the rest of the model.
Are you using the John Lambert plans or those from the Australian Navy?

The "Modelarstwo okretowe" magazine issued two parts of Bathurst class blueprints:
Modelarstwo okr?towe
Is this something new, or re-drawn from other sources - I dont know.

The build is about the end. All what left are handrailings (I have ordered paper-lasercut to save my time and nerves), and rigging. Also I'm going to add some weathering to make the model more eye-catching.

The model is finished.
Weathering made with dry-paints and stiff brush, railings as mentioned before are paper laser-cut, and rigging - heat extruded plastick stick, painted with black acryl paint Vallejo.

See you!
