Nice build Redcap,
I'm sure you will make a fine job of Hood.
Just take your time and remember it's supposed to be FUN and RELAXATION.
Regards
Richard  :-))

Thanks for the compliments guys. Yes, doing the Hood as well. Started off with the De Agostini whicxh of course was cancelled so have now started the Hachetteversion. Kinda glad that it turned out that way as I am confident that the Hachette version will be superior.
Will "waterline" the Hood to. Just got to find somewhere to put it when its built !

I thought you might like to see a 1:100 Bismark sailing on Albert Park lake last weekend.
(Yes, where the Australian GP takes place and TF 72 sail)
Not quite finished but it apparently took 42 days to get to this stage by a first time builder.
We did tell him that it is supposed to take years to build a battleship but he thought he could finish it in another week.
Absolutly fantastic paint finish and the electrics etc. were beautiful to see.
If the full size ship had the speed and manouverability of the model she would never have been caught!
He is planning a whole fleet including an Anzac frigate and several other battleships in the next year.

In terms of the time, yes.

If Krishna were doing it, it'd be 42 days and about £3.  O0
