Welcome

I'm relatively new to the hobby of Anchor Stones. I started my collection in 2007 with a set #6 and have since expanded to set #12 (ie: 6 + 6a + 8a, + 10a). I've also played with the Kleine Gernegroß and Heinzelmännchen sets. Each set came with a small instruction book of several models that could be created. While these models were fun to build, I wish there were more.

I began building my own creations using inspiration from the supplied books and other resources found on the internet. I've been trying to document my constructions for some time. It's a continual work in progress. This blog is a means for me to share my work with others. Enjoy, and feel free to leave a comment.

NOTE: The models were created and rendered using AnkerCAD with a little help from the GIMP. I encourage readers to leave a link to photos they take of these constructions.

12_3



The fall season is my favorite time of year. A time to reflect on the labors of summer and prepare for the slumber of winter.

I've been working on this design for some time, but never built it until last night. It's a set 12 design, and it's surprisingly taller than it looks.

Note the construction used in the peak to achieve a larger roof from limited set of 262/265 stones.

The construction plans should be easy to follow.

Enjoy!

Still haven't got myself that 10A set - but that 12_3 is a nice design, and i guess Christmas is coming...

I'm not a fan of autumn or winter, so I thought I'd share a bunch of photos taken earlier this wonderful summer!
