Looking good Mark

haven't been in the workshop for a couple of weeks, hoping to get back there this weekend & make some more progress.

Si

Thanks Simon. Appreciate the comments. Look forward to seeing more of your work.....Cheers Mark

Snas Rigging, the Forward Superstructure is now complete. More to come shortlt.....Cheers Mark

have started work on the Forward Stack and various Deckhouses. I removed all of the I/M Mesh Screens and replaced them with P/E Screens. Guide Holes have been drilled to accept the Stays for the Forward Stack. More to come shortly.....Cheers Mark

Coming along in leaps and bounds now Mark ! Looking very good and the delicate PE adds enormously to the total effect.
Cheers,
Julian

Thanks Julian. I too am very happy how she is coming along.....Cheers Mark

I have started work on the After Stack Assembly. The major Parts are just Dryfitted at the moment. More work to be done and details added before Airbrushing can commence. More work to come shortly.....Cheers Mark

Wonderful work Mark.

That's going to look magic when you get a coat of grey on it !
cheers,
Julian

Thanks you for the comments Julian and Kenny. They are much appreciated.....Cheers Mark

Coming on great Mark.

Hope to get back to work on mine over the next couple of weeks.

Si

Thanks Julian. Hope to see more of your work in the near future.....Cheers Mark

I apologise for my last comment. I meant to say Simon and not Julian. Apologies to both of you. Any ways here is my latest update. After Deckhouse Stack Area is now completed with Rigging. I have added the Steam Venting Pipes and drilled out their Ends. I added Plasticard and Sections from a Straw to the Stack Interior to fill this rather large Empty opening. The loose Rigging LInes will be attached to their respective Anchor Points when this SEction is in place on the Hood. More to come shortly.....Cheers Mark

Hi Mark,

coming on well. what are using for rigging?

Hope to getting back to mine over the next couple of weeks. A number of things have conspired to limit my time at the workbench of late.

Si

Hi Mark,

she looks good. Just one question:

The radar on top of the forward superstructure does look rather clunky compared to the fine (etch?) work used on the yard-arms. Did you use the kit parts there, or is did it really look that clunky on the original as well?



Harm

Hi Harm. The Radar should be a bit Thinner. I had to back the Etch with Plastic Rod and used the wrong size. You live and you learn. And thanks for the comments. Much appreciated.....Cheers Mark

Except for a few Touchups and a Coat of Clear Flat, the Stacks and Rigging have now been added to HMS Hood. MOre to come shortly.....Cheers Mark

Beautiful Mark, the stack stays and signal halyards look excellent !
Julian

Thank you for the comments Julian. Much appreciated. I use a Product called E-Z-Line from the States for my Rigging. It is great stuff. Comes in Black or Grey in 100Ft Spools and stretches also...Recommend it to anyone.....Cheers Mark

Where do you order it in the US of A Mark? Seems to be a bit of a challenge to get hold of it here in Europe
