Well chaps 2 months on, some small progress. My apologies
The hawses on the Trumpeter Hood are awful. On the actual ship the stern anchor and the rear starboard anchor and chains had been removed.
I have also joined the HMS Hood Association a bargain £12 a yr, they are the experts and the website is superb!
So I have drilled them out
They should almost be bath shaped with a hole for the anchor chains. So plan is to use milliput to make the correct hawses. Should be fun, never used it!
Added the nuts for the pedestals as well
Hopefully not another two months!

Glad to see this back on the go Battleship Bob. You're certainly going the extra mile with this in terms of accuracy.
For the tubes between the decks and hull sides where the anchor chains ran, the large Mac D's plastic straws had just the right size.
As for the milliput, equal parts and mix it together well. Shapes Well with tools wetted in water, cleans of with water as well.

Hi Peter, might be a while lol.
Nah. prefer Burger King. They tast of something. lol
Just realised your build is 1/350th so they might be a bit big for you. lol The straws that is, not the burger.
They all taste of monosodium glutamate usually……foul things best avoided in my opinion…..
Good to see the Hood back on the stocks though Bob. Been missing this
