Does anyone know of a good rigging diagram/reference of HMS Hood circa 1930's?

Hi Russell

The Anatomy of a ship book on HMS Hood has some quite good rigging diagrams, Also the HMS Hood association website is worth a check for further info.

http://www.hmshood.com/

I dont recall any good diagrams, but it should tell you wwhere to find them.

Thank you for the info Simon. It will definitely come in handy-currently finishing off a quick build of a 1/700 Hood for my dad, but it's hard to know where to start looking sometimes for the info needed.

Russ.
