Hood was only used in a few 1:1 battles and lost them all by a big margin. It was sold to Larry Dingle in SC, who also bought my Courageous, Canarias and armoured cruiser Minotaur. Canarias and Minotaur were both good combat models. I'm building HMS Australia (an Indefatigable Class BC) atm. Bob Pottle, Nov 30, 2020.
Nov 4, 2017. Posts: 1,618. Location: Athens, GA. Well, I just got a second person needing a Hood SS, and I've done some of the preliminary work already. Oh hey BTW, if you go to the farmer's market in Florence and you see a stand for Blue Dawg Farms, tell Carl that Anvil X-Ray says hello. Anvil_x, Oct 8, 2024. #8.
Hood achieved 32 knots on trials (fittingly I'd built the model as Hood upon commissioning), so has a speed of 28 sec/100'. It has to be slowed down only 4 sec/100' from its IRCWCC speed. We discussed my experiences with the Hood model under IRCWCC rules and concluded dual stern guns would not be useful under Treaty rules either due to the ...
I built my 1921 version of Hood (now owned by Larry Dingle) using the 'Anatomy of the Ship' series book on Hood - best plans available for all versions in my opinion. Bob Pottle , Jun 19, 2015 #2
This Hood model was packed with Styrofoam and launched at a large lake where it sailed out of sight and eventually disappeared. Before this we used to anchor the models and attach balsa blocks to their hull sides with rubber bands and take turns shooting at them from shore with a Daisy BB rifle. That was our version of BB shooting ships.
Mikey's Hood doesn't seem to do too badly in the Washington Treaty club so I may configure it for those rules. I'm going to replace the rudder with one of those high tech ones that seem to have made the Vanguards more maneuverable. Hood's only 4" longer and her aft turrets arer closer to the water.
Yes, HMS Hood's were technically "MKII" mountings, but they're virtually identical to the MKI especially the MKI(N) refit versions all of the QE class received in the interwar period. bsgkid117 , Jan 3, 2022
Apr 5, 2014. Posts: 44. Location: Simpsonville, South Carolina. Bob Pottle, just thought I would post about the ships I have you built. HMS Courageous, HMS Minotaur, HMS Hood, and my son Ben’s SNS Canarias, all are now in my den displayed. I always thought you built your ships with detail that most builders didn’t do knowing they would be ...
It has a new CO2 system that Ian and I installed a couple of years ago, which is an improvement over the original system. The model is of Hood on trials in 1921, and has a detailed superstructure built from the plans in 'Anatomy of the Ship: HMS Hood'. Hood suffered cosmetically in the years it was out of my hands but nothing major.
C) Servo Driven Layshaft System - HMS Hood (2002) Starting with HMS Warspite and then HMS Hood I used machined brass turntables in the ABS barbettes, with the BB cannons on horizontal pivots and elevation control screws installed in the turntable under each BB cannon barrel. Warspite turned so well a rotating turret wasn't necessary.
