An excellent piece of research EJ, thanks for sharing what you have discovered. I'm in envy of the quality of your pictures, may I ask where you found these? Some I recognise but I've never seen them this clear before.

Cheers

Pete

EJ the Davits are superlative and the jig most clever. But what i like most is:

Pics will keep coming; I'm went back to a 32 hours work week with a day of Hood modelling per week (if all goes well) :smallsmile:

The images are scanned from three sources (can't remember which image came from what but most from source #1):

1) Manual of Seamanship vol 1 and 2 (1937)
2) Shipyard practice as applied to warship construction, McDermaid (1911) (https://archive.org/details/shipyardpractice00mcderich, I have a hardcopy too)
3) Practical construction of warships, Newton, 1941

There's a ton of information in each of these volumes that has been quite helpful with various bits around the ship. I scan them at high resolution and apply a dash of photoshop to clean up the images.

Fantastic attention to detail, and microscopic modelling. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:
I would say 'as usual', but I feel it is getting more detailed nowadays than before... ;)

Many thanks for the detailed description. Very educational! :thumbs_up_1:

I think "microscopic modeling" really captures what's going on here. Incredible work. You keep pushing the envelope. Of course, part of me thinks that's so you'll never actually have to finish the model, but that's just me.... :heh:

Great research as always! Is the floor of the aerial tub flat like you've shown? My brain is trying to conving me that it has a conical slope downwards towards the insulator bulge... Probably just the weathering playing tricks on me though.

Thanks for the message. This is a thread that I have always followed with utmost interest, as I have a 1/350 HMS Hood and a 1/72 German U-Boot U66 in store as my next projects.
EJFoeth had already updated the links in his previous post, and had also sent me a PM to let me know.

Thanks very much again, and warmest regards from this side,

Willie.
