Whew! Now that I got the Hood done, I started JSC 1:400 HMS Norfolk. I have to tell ya, I was kinda wiped out by the Hood. However, Yesterday I started my Road to Recovery and got hull done on the Norfolk. I almost forgot how enjoyable 1:400 was. Seriously, the Hood took a lot out of...

Wow, hardcore!! No way could I do a scratch build like that. Looking really good so far. -Ski

All right, I am done. I finished up on the rails last night while watching the OSU-Kansas game. I'm happy with how it turned out. It was my first 1:200 scale model. A couple things with the Halinski HMS Hood: 1. I recommend you take it to a copy place and get it copied first. The...

I wanted to add a couple photos of the finished North Carolina that were lost earlier in this thread..... -Ski

It would NOT be the Halinski HMS Hood!! -Ski

:eek: Slick! It's great to see another NC being built! Awesome start, too! Looking forward to the continuation!! For an "old" JSC kit, the NC is an awesome ship. It turned out better than I had hoped, especially in light of the newer computer designed models. You'll have a lot of fun...

Thanks! I worked railings and finished up on painting bollards. I added some crew members to the ship. These were N-guage figures that I repainted and cut-down their legs and arms to get them closer to scale. They look "fat" but pretty close to scale. Did RN sailers wear black or white...

Indeed! I admire your work on the barrels. There was once a day I thought I could do those. Oh how it all came crashing down on my first attempt! -Ski

Thanks! I simply used string and magic glue. The booms and hoists are strip styrene. The kit's drawings were way off so I just used some eye judgement. When I finish it, I will take some better photos of it.... -Ski

It just numbs the brain, don't it? :eek: -Ski

Hey folks! I kinda fell off the face of the Earth but I have been still working on the ship. I'm just about done with the rigging. I'm happy with it so far, but it is not up to the superb work seen elsewhere. I still have more railings and to finish up on some painting. I used some...

Now that is a sweet looking ship!! I used paper railings im 1:200 HMS Hood. I'm not sure I will be using them on future ships. Just too fragile..... -Ski

How about "mindnumbing? -Ski

Excellent! -Ski

I finished the turrets. I'm really happy how they turned out. Now to finish off the ship's boats, railings, a few AA guns and rigging. I still have a lot to do!!!:rolleyes: -Ski

Crazy! You definately took the bull by it's horns on this one!! Looking really good! My patience would of ran out a long time ago on a ship like this one, that's for sure. I'll stick with the modern stuff, thank you! :twisted: Thanks for the pics. Wonderful ship, mate! -Ski

Excellent job! Nice and clean! :) -Ski
