Thanks for the comments Gents much appreciated. All Mushroom Vents have now been added with most of the Deck Equipment. All I have left now is the Mainmast, Rigging and Weathering to go. More Pics to come shortly.....Cheers Mark

Have started work on the Mainmast and made a major Mistake. I attached the Starfish Platform backwards. Have since rectified the problem. The mast is now ready for basecoating before going any further. More to come shortly.....Cheers Mark

These are always details that gain from PE parts. Beautiful work Mark
Julian

Thank you once again Julien. Have almost completed the Mainmast now. A little bit more detail Painting and she will be mounted to the Hull. More to come shortly.....Cheers Mark

The MainMast has now been stepped and rigging is now underway. Not much more to do. More to come soon.....Cheers Mark

Great progress Mark, you are well ahead of me, too many other things going on. I have done a bit more, details added around the fwd superstructure & woring on the myriad of ammo lockers on the shelter deck.

That is a beautiful piece of work Mark. Looks excellent. I love the detail you put into the rigging and the base you fitted her to looks really nice for displaying the build.

Julian

Great peice of work Mark, does the Hood proud.

I am still plodding away slowly on mine, starting to make headway on the boats



Si

Thanks for the comments Simon. Look forward to seeing yours finished too.....Cheers Mark

Mark, as the man said near the end of "Blade Runner", you've done a man's work, sir! The Mighty Hood looks great. Love the rigging job you've done. One of my least favorite parts of the build personally. You have put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into that build and it surely shows. You've done her proud.

Bob

Thanks Bob for the comments. Greatly appreciated. She was a long haul build and thoroughly enjoyed the Build but am very glad she is done.....Cheers Mark
