jawdrop Just incredible! -Ski

Thanks for the tip, but I'm going with strip styrene for the masts and guns. It looks much better than the rolled stuff, hehehehe..... I double hole-punched the first level. As you mentioned, I don't trust the alignment. -Ski

More work on the Hood. One thing that is really frustrating are the boxes. Since the kit is hand drawn, no two boxes look alike, so they look worse than on a 1:400 model :curse:..... Here are a couple more pictures of my progress alongside my 1:400 Hood I did a couple years ago while...

Hey folks, It looks like the other pictures in this thread got nixed, oh well. I have been working on the Hood for the past couple days. Long hours at work have kept me from getting to the fun! So far so good. I'm working the main deck right now. I will definately say that you must...

Nice job! Looking forward to the masting. Nice to see another USAF member building ships! ;) -Ski

:shock: Amazing.... -Ski

Looking great! :) -Ski

Continued working the upper deck supporting superstructure. The only fit issues were with the aft piece with "Hood" on it. It was way too long and the hull side extended too far aft. I had to trim both down quite a bit to get them to meet like they should. It's almost time to fit the upper...

Thank you. The hull was the tough part. I hate hulls! Now, I get to have the real fun of building the superstructure. It is the most rewarding IMHO.... -Ski

Thanks. I miss him a lot. -Ski

It's the first edition version of the ship. There are small errors in the dimentions from here and there. Since it was hand drawn, you even get a difference from identical pieces. We'll see how it goes. I feel that I'm past the critical part of the build in regards to the fit. The hull could...

Klean with a capital K! Your portals turned out excellent! -Ski

Hey all, I worked on the ship for first time in a while. My dad passed away a week ago Friday and I was able to be home for his passing. So, I was rather demotivated as you could imagine. Anyways, I worked more of the deck fittings and am starting the superstructure. As Barry...

Slick! The model is looking really, really good! -Ski

Wow, that is definately looking good! You have the skillz my man! -Ski

Thanks for the hint. I can probably use the gray stock from the barrels to complete it. At least I know and that's half the battle.... ;) -Ski

Bravo! You did an excellent job on the ship! Keep up the great work! -Ski

Thanks for the tip. I take it that it comes out short, huh? :-? -Ski

Really nice! I am really impressed with how well your weathering turned out. -Ski

I finally finished edging hull. It's not perfect, but it will do. I started working the deck tackle. I think I'm lucky the hull went together decently like it did. Some of the pieces didn't match the outlines for them. For example, you can see the mismatch on the chock bases. Also, if you...
