Hello I share a mini tutorial on how to make anchors for ships. Applies to ships of Sail of Glory or any other scale. I hope it's ussefull.
Materials.
The materials used to make anchors are three:
1)Remains of matrix of ratlines or brass sails.
2)Staples. I use staples 22/6 DIN 7405
3)"Cancamos" . I put the name in Spanish because I dont know the tranlator in English, sorry.

First step. Flatten the "cancamo"

before, knotting a thread around the stem.

The anchor is finished !!!
Now you just have to paint it and put it on the boat.

Tip: If the boat is very small is possible that the "cancamo" is very large. This usually occurs in frigates and ships of 64 guns. We can replace the "cancamo" for a piece of staples. I also recommend in some cases build anchor directly onto the hull.
It is a more or less cheap way to make anchors in reduced scales and the visual effect is acceptable.
