Absolutely immense modelling skills.

 I don't suppose there's a production hull somewhere even close to these things is there? ha ha  :D

 Excellent !

Actually I'm sure Mobile Marine Models still do a hull, although it's not on their website, drop them an email. They've had one at the last few shows I've been to. I was tempted to have one and convert it into a 1/32 anchor handling tug. Dave.  :-))

Now that the Tow winch is complete it looks splendid - just one question
- some to the parts turned on the lathe, what material did you use to make them, it looks like
acrylic, is that right??

Hi Geoff.

I made the drums  on the Lathe.
The biggest drum (anchor handling) is made of PVC, the smaller drum (towing) is made of plexy.
The main frame of the winch is made of print plate in combination of phosphor-bronze.
It looks difficult but it isn't.
Take your time and just do it.

The made the winch working is more difficult, special because the winch can be take out of the hull.

If you need any more information or photos please ask.

NO the type of models I make don't have huge winches like that on them ( warships)- I was just curious
as the material you used seem to make very clean shapes and be capable of fine detail. I was thinking of things like turret mounting rings etc.
Thanks for the reply.
