Thanks for the comments.

I have never tried a ship/ boat before as it looks too daunting a task to get the right detail on scale but I have now witnessed something awesome. I have a 1/200 HMS VIctory wooden kit and I'm ashamed to say it's not even got a finished wooden hull yet. The Hood was a fantastic ship and In my opinion a match for the BIsmark but all for a lucky shot from the BIsmark crew and the unfortunate timing of that fatal blow it caused the Hood, we will never see this class of ship again!!


You have made a fantastic build and do the Hood justice.

Thanks, Do not worry if you are taking a long time on the hull, it is a big model and these wooden models can take years, especially a complicated one like HMS Victory. Maybe you can start a build log for it.

That's a really nice build!


I think I built a smaller scale Airfix HMS Hood many years ago as a teenager! I can remember losing a few bits and breaking a few others it didn't look anything like yours!

Very nice Graham I have only done a Benson and z39 don't know if I have the staying power for a big project like this your build is excellent

Hi Graham


Hood looks awesome (as does Warspite). The railings, rigging and other small details really make these models pop. I've always wanted to tackle a ship (one day a will) and seeing your 2 together has only increased this feeling.


Cheers
