HMS Hood by RogerF - Flyhawk - 1/700 - PLASTIC - deluxe kit


Recommended Posts

Glad the video was of interest.

Seeing him attach the funnel stays has made me re-think - I might just try and add mine since they've been cut out ready. Might chicken out part way through mind, although I've learned quite a lot from watching his sequences and handling. Still, his model isn't perfect... red hull bottom?! Also I think all Hood's bollards were black and cleats grey. Masking tape pulling off bits of the boot line doesn't seem to faze him, I'll be mortified if, no, when it happens to me.🙄

I've not been completely idle myself, just slowly coming to terms with starship platforms.

The fore mast starfish platform and superstructure are almost finished and I managed to cut out the two main platforms for the main mast without too many bent or damaged parts so I am gradually learning it would seem. It does seem to to take an inordinately length of time to get just this far but then it's not a race and it keeps me off the streets.

Hi there OC,

Am not much further on I'm afraid. There have been far too many distractions and I need enough time to airbrush the hull - prime and top layers. I will catch up with your build soon, it's looking great and you are taking one or two different approaches than I intend to take with some areas but I will comment on your thread/build later.

Thank you for your kind enquiry, I will get back to Hood before Christmas I hope, but I always knew that Hood would be a long haul.

Kind regards

Roger
