Thanks Maarten, glad you like it!
I agree a 1/350 Ramillies would be lovely. My preference would be the First World War Dazzle Painted version, followed closely by the 1944 scheme as seen on my 1/500 model. She had an Admiralty Disruptive scheme too as well as an unofficial three tone camouflage before that. So plenty of schemes to choose from!
Interesting regarding the name, in all my research I never looked up the origin of the name. I figured it was an historical battle from somewhere but did not know it was a village in Belgium. Thanks for the info!
Back to the model, I have got some of the more fiddly parts done. Added the handrails, steps, HACS Directors, PomPom Directors, 20mm Oerlikons as well as some scratchbuilt missile jammers. Also added the mainmast and made a start on the rigging. This will be basic simplified rigging:

I added the Quad PomPoms and Oerlikons to 'B' and 'X' main gun turrets too. They look well I think, plenty of firepower:

Plan is to hopefully finish off the rigging before cluttering up the shelter deck with the ships' boats, deck vents, 4 inch ready use ammo lockers and the lattice crane. Edging slowly towards overall completion.
