I orginally built this model of HMS Hood 38 for the Best Of British Group build .As I am running out of space ,instead of building a new model of the `Ood ,I decided to dismantle it and rebuild it .It took about a day to strip the model down ,I can do this as I use PVA glue where-ever possible ,and any part attached with cement is done so lightly .I also want to do it as a waterline to fit in with my latest builds.
I bought an Artwox wooden for it ,this was a perfect fit for the foredeck ,and quarterdeck,but there were gaps on the shelter as the deck is designed for the 1941 version,but I managed to blend in off-cuts from the sheet to fill in the gaps.
I have several other full-hull models which I`m considering to rebuild as waterline ,but this has been enough for the moment!!

Cheers Phil

Nice work! I think HMS Hood was one of the best looking ships of the 20th century. Your work does her justice.
