I've looked at my saved copy again, and the colour is o.k. I rather like the way Wakazashi has rendered the stepped ladders - I wouldn't mind adapting that style in future.

I'm afraid I don't know what that 'railing thing' is, it was just on the ref' drawings. That 'hump' though... that's not on photos either... so I'll have to get rid of it, even though it was on the refs.

See what happens when you choose an iconic ship Anyway, if you don't mind the queries it should still be (by far) the most definitive Hood seen here.

Here are some drawings







One photo showing the hump on the bows


Also I believe that that railing-like thing is indeed the de-gaussing line

Very nice... very nice indeed.
Once it conforms to SB standards it will be even better. I admit I like the ladders too and the UP projector.

I think I'm going to start making ladders like that.

Hmmm...

I wonder if you can do Hood's proposed late 1941 rebuild (was scheduled for immediately after the Bismarck intercept mission and would have been along the same lines as Renown's)

if he doesn't do it, I will try! just done some research quickly (http://www.hmshood.com/history/construct/repair42.htm) and I am higly interested in this rebuild.... following this site, there were a few possibilities, if you want we can both do some of them

Come to think of it, in WesWorld, the Atlantean Vengeance class battlecruiser (which to begin with was almost Hood with the serial numbers filed off) was rebuilt in a manner that probably very closely approximates the real-life rebuild for Hood. AVALMA posted it on the old board:



EDIT: And for comparison, the actual refit of Hood, circa 1936, respective of WesWorld:

So in Wesworld Hood and Wakazashi joined forces?
