The mighty Hood (treaty combat)

Sweet!

 

Mikey,
Hood had standard Royal Navy 'A' brackets securing all 4 shafts - 2 arms. There was still planking at the bow a - I think some photos of the bow section of the wreck show this and a Profile Publications book I have shows the bow as still planked.

The bow was definitely still planked. You can see this clearly in the graphics and wreck photos shown here:

Thanks for the info folks.
I will leave the bow area wood, and hope to start on the shafts, rudder today.
More later.
Mikey

 

Looks great so far. Nice work.

 

Thanks for the complements, and info.
Made a little more progress.
Mikey
