I have followed Mike Turpin's example in the 'Getting the Anchor Right' thread. The warm fuzzy feeling from getting this detail extra-right was worth it. Schnellboots on back burner

Thanks Jamie, I had totally lost track as to where that picture of the anchor knot was (quickly saves to pictures) I haven't started mine as yet, but at least I know where to look now By the way, did you visit that model centre up our way?

No probs jonny. I haven't been to anglia model centre because I emailed them a question just after you told me where they were and I still haven't had a reply. So if they can't be bothered to answer me then I can't be bothered to shop there. Have you been in there since they moved??
