Yeah. I remember reading somewhere that if the Hood fired all her guns at once, she would lay over about ten or fifteen degrees to the other side, which is no mean feat for a huge hunk of steel that weighs in the tens of thousands of tons range.
Also, you seen what a 16-in. shell does when it hits? The craters are immense, and I've seen a couple of photos where the blast from a near miss actually picked up Tigers (58 tons) and even Tiger IIs (69 tons) and threw them like toys.
I wish I still had them, I'll definitely post them if I see them again though![]()
Crappy cellphone pic time!
Finished the colors last night, just need to touch up the border with white.
It looks a bit too slab-sided. Obviously the original was a box due to engine constraints, but on yours it wouldn't hurt to add some tapering curves here and there (front of the scope hood, perhaps an inwards taper towards the bottom of the stock).
Better?
Not sure if I can taper the stock without removing/remodelling the buffer springs, though.
Looks better, although just to improve it even more you might want to try and round off the front of the hood so it's nearly circular and let it transition back into a chamfered rectangle towards the back.
