Nice photo of funnel EJ. Looks like is a "KGV" being broken up. Sad. Interesting ship in back ground.
Can we identify her?.
Looks like some ocean liner post ww2 hospital ship duty?

@Big Build...Just various drains; I think they are OK, but that's just my opinion.
I'm currently working on the other end of the hawsepipes; as I mentioned earlier in the thread the kit hawsepipe exits aren't shaped right. They should be more round:
I think the pic you posted is misleading for the angle seen distorts oval into circle. I mean your new version doesnt feel right...
I undedstand your suspicion; I felt that way too until I did some more digging.
From the HMS Hood association:
...and a clearer view (It's hard to find pics of Hood without her anchors on!)
Bear in mind that's not the finished product for me either... I purposely left the rings thick for some final tweaking and am in the process of shaping them (ran out of putty so I'm stalled out until I can make the 50 mile 1-way trip to my nearest LHS... seems to happen a lot to me for some reason!
) so the rings will be much thinner and less pronounced when I'm done.
I'm open for any evidence to the contrary... I agree that round feels "weird" but I must go where the evidence takes me.
