Unable to find Infos about historic Signaling in the Web, i used the ICS-Code to show the Signal.
I wish i could find out what means "Alter Course to 240�". No Success so far....

The flags are stunning!

[Tim Froggatt]

What a fantastic job. Can you tell me how you get the weathering so accurate on hull and superstructure screens and also on A turret roundel ? I have signal pennants for turn to 240.

Many thanks

Hi Gentleman,

i know it�s along time ago the model has been finished but there re some nwes which might be interessting to share.

Here some Pics of a base for the Ship i have made, just a view weeks ago.
Its made by using Hairspray and Pigments and Oils:


















The Judges liked it as well that way
Thanks again to all who was involved to make it real!

Sincerely yours, gentleman

Hey Luciano,

thank you very much! It was really fun to spill and blur around with all the colors and pigments and stuff.
Its a good contrast between a sharp built ship and the rotten and rusty "Metal"
And it costs almost nothing, compard to a wooden diplay stand.
Recently i payed 60� for such a wooden thing....
I just could�nt resist.....

Your the Hood is so masterful work!

[M�LDERS]

Best regards to Finland!
Thank you very much!

He, indeed the model has changed. The dimensions of the rack on X-turret is still not entirely correct, two crosses should fit between the forward and aft rack. Anyway, it's close. (and, this was a find of Frank Allen of the Hood site)

Those grey areas on the aft searchlight platform are the windows covered by canvas covers. So, add some cover to the windows and paint it painted canvas (I think it was near hull-color). Note that the aft pompom platform has a bulkhead at the rear and at the port side.

I see Thomas also has a blue admirals barge. I'm not sure this is correct, but this is how I am going to model it as well. I like the color.

never cease to be amazed how petty people can be, 3 people survived, there is no definitive colour scheme or weapon arrangement apart from the main armament since the crew were at the whim of petty officers to keep them occupied. my uncle died on the repulse. i have letters from him, most of their time was spent polishing and painting, mounting and remounting anti aircraft weapons. but, the ship was a patchwork quilt of colour. there is no definitive. i love experts who were not there.
