Hood on Hood, I can't wait to see this

Looking forward to her! I've been thinking about doing a refit version of her.

The 1941 version is about 50% done, the 1917/18 version yet to begin!
I'm using Wakazshi's very good recent Hood as a basis but its turning out to be almost a new ship with changes to practically every part and area, equipment etc. I've found some excellent pictures and even CGI shots which are proving very useful in working out some of the smaller details and configuration of bridge areas etc.

Great news Hood; and, I would suggest that we all keep 'dib's' off Hood's finished drawing and allow him to do a modernised version - should he choose

Well I begin the finishing touches to HMS Hood in 1920 and begin contemplating a 1939-42 timeframe refit/rebuild and the Admirals Bombhead has given me the opportunity to take on Repulse and Renown which he hasn't had time to do much with.
I can't promise when they will get finished but I'll have a crack at both ships.

I'm sure they will be well worth waiting for.

A safe pair of hands for these two

After finally completing the RN Sheets to some kind of order I've now the energy and willpower to begin HMS Repluse. Many thanks to Bombhead for all the material he has supplied me with. Sorry for making you wait so long BH!

I'd very much like to see the HMS "Repair" (Repulse) in her 1937 config. if I can leave a suggestion?!

I'll see how it goes Bezo.

Also on the list now is a rework of Furious, Glorious and Courageous in all their glory. I suspect my measurements were off when I first drew them, plus we have much better parts now, and this might become a Grey Line Faction co-operative work with Bombhead (aka Carrier King) and Kim (aka Camo King).
