The Hood. A just beautiful looking ship. This looks a big project Graham. I like big projects and you learn a lot about the subject.

Both her and the Bismark went to the same place. Shame. Save for a lucky shot she would be have given a good fight. Same with the Bismark a lucky strike stopped her the good old Swordfish. An amazing duel form beggining to end.

Look forward to seeing this ship. I was 3 years old at the time but cannot recall the incident.

Looking good Graham.

Any chance of a closer look at the wood decks?

Thanks for the comments. I agree Alan, the decks do help make the boat. I've seen the 1/200th Bismark, the only problem is the size of the model. Currently I can only make models no larger than the Hood as I am having problems fitting it on my desk!

Yeah that's the problem I'm thinking of getting a shed for my work and putting my builds in the spare room as I'm running out of space myself.

I am still progressing slowly with this model,but not helped by one of my cats knocking over an LCD tv, which ended up on top of the hood. So I have had to spend 4 hours repairing the damage done. Some of the photo etch was beyond repair, so I have ordered the Eduard set for the hood, to replace the bits that were damaged. More photos soon.

I also received the plans of the Hood in 1/200 scale. At this scale the Hood is huge.

It must be. Luckly I did not have too much of the superstructure built, otherwise it would have been a lot worse

What a CATastrophe! sorry. They do seem to be at the head of things of late!

Could I ask where you got the plans for the Hood at 1/200 and what they cost.... Are they plans for building a model or just a drawing, if you know what I mean.

Hi Graham

This is turning into a very interesting build and I'm really sorry to hear about the cat mishap. I hope the damage wasn't too bad, is easily repairable and the cat has been banished from the room!

I have the both the Hood and Bismarck in 1/700 with all the trimmings so I'll be following this build with great interest.

Looks fabulous so far

All the best

Paul
