Hi all. I've not been involved with shipbucket for a long time but since I found this on my pc, I thought I'd share it. I don't think it's entirely complete, but here goes>

AWESOME!!! this was definitely worth the long wait on it ;) are you going to do the other years too?

btw... may I use it as base for a few ADU ships??

Welcome back :D

It is certainly a lovely drawing; though there is some non-compliance with Shipbucket standards: railings, under shading, hull, to a name a few; which you might consider modifying? Also, you might find some later versions of the smaller weapons from Hoods RN weapons sheet; the gun on top of B turret? I don't recognise that one. But yes, this should be a definitive Hood IMHO :)

acelanceloet - Thanks! I may do a 'proposed refit' design from 1941/2, but I'm not sure if I'll get around to earlier configurations. ADU? I'm guessing you mean AU... that's fine, as long as you credit me as per usual. :D

Portsmouth Bill - Thanks! I suspected as much. I'll have a look at the guns and railings. For the hull - do you mean below the waterline? I see most drawings are just a single shade of red in that respect.

Yes, re the hull; at present the standard is red oxide as first applied, which results in the bright red colour; plus the shading is very sparse, just around the edges. I'm not enthuisiastic myself on such a strict interpretation, but that is the current standard; and at the risk of beginning another long discussion (and not here please folks), it could be one of the areas we could look at soon.

ADU is an AU of me and ALVAMA (and a bit of mitch).... the anglo dutch empire, to be precise ;)

That gun is not stricktly a gun, as it was the UP projector. The Up, for unrotated projectile, was a RN idea to stop low level and dive bombers by firing rockets that were trailing a wire. The idea was that the wires will be caught by the wings and propellers of the attacking aircraft,causing them to crash.
Needles to say the idea didn't work. Few ships carried these one of them HMS Hood and also HMS Repulse.

Thanks Novice; I've looked at photo's and that is there. Another question for Wakazashi; there is rail-like form running along the hull just below the main deck; Is this for degauzing? It doesn't show up on any of the photo's and drawings I've got. Likewise with the pronounced hump on the deck just short of the bow.
