Hi Siara,
I Know it's been a while, but yes i'm still here! U-69 has had to take a back seat as i've got some serious work commitments and have to decide on a new carreer path within the rail industry.
Do you have a copy of Anatomy of the Ship, Type VII U-boat, By David Westwood? There are some quite detailed drawings of the anchor chain storage box and anchor windlass drum, which is attached to the removable capstan by a shaft. This is drawn up in plan and side elevation on page 84/85.
Well done on the 'sticky' a build well worthy of such an accolade!
PM me if you need help as regards the above drawings.
Sav.
