I'm happy with the windlass, but it might turn into a cut-down q-tip on the smaller model. It is made from six parts, and to make it in 1/250 scale would require the skills of Chiawatkom, something that I do not have.
You know...it'd only take one more enlargement to bring it in at 1/72 and then that ol' winch won't be so pesky after all....
