19 – Winches

Thank you Don, Shipbuild and Paperfan.

The winch assemblies seen here combine the smallest amount of material with the largest amount of work . . . about twenty parts per winch. The bases of these are card, while all the remaining parts are paper.

I was lucky. I located the perfect photo to use while engineering these assemblies. It (from Navsource) shows one of the winches on board the U.S.S. Minnesota . . . along with the Marine Guard.
The cage mast indicates this photo was taken after the 1909 refit.

Regards,
Mike

Well done Michael. I thought the winch I did for my 1/200 Arizona with 19 parts and 6 hours to build was a lot but they don't hold a candle to yours. Super job.

20 – Anchors, Chains, Gun Sponsons

Thank you Modelers for the encouragement.

The two forward 3-inch (77mm) gun sponsons and gun barrels are made with paper. Most of the time I design in Sketchup using the 2-D perspective. For me, it is less confusing. However, in this case, 3D was needed. So I kept switching back and forth between the two perpectives to keep the design work on track. I think they turned out well, and the experience will be helpful since there are four sponsons needed for the stern .

A few notes about creation of the anchors: they are made with doubled cardstock and paper. Then I dipped them into Testors Flat White paint. Without letting much of the paint drain off, I let them dry for 24 hours, and then dipped them again. That infuses them with a thick cast iron appearance. One could dip a part several more times, creating a thicker and thicker shell on the piece as needed.

It is curious to me that Connecticut had the old style pre-dreadnought anchors, and also the newer style anchors more commonly seen on dreadnoughts. The Navsource image features U.S.S. New Hampshire. Although it is not a great image, it clearly shows her with both types of anchors.

Regards,
Mike
