The anchore is actualy two different blacks. The timber parts are a flat dull black and the iron a slightly more satin finish. If you look for admiral paints on the internet they have a metal black and flat black that are perfect. see my anchor build in 'first wooden ship build' “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

sorry to barge in Jase
but I thought the timber on the anchors where a varnish brown or something also would you know the size of the hole on the metal part because the manufacture did not punch out the hole all the way there is a tiny piece of metal
protuding out of the other side and would like to drill out the hole correctly thank you

 Hi Ronald if you measure the ring that goes through the hole the hole just needs to be slightly bigger. Start with a small drill and slowly get bigger while checking the fit . Hope this helps Martyn Building ?
Completed. Soliei Royal . Sovereign of the Seas . Virginia . Scotland . San Felipe . Corel vasa , Santisima Trinadad X section , Vasa
Next Build ?
