Hms Hood in miniature 1/2000

[airfixpeter]

This kit originally started as a bandia kit and a number of reboxings later end as Aoshima before works got hold of it. 

I am not used to this small scale and I always end up losing parts to the carpet monster so I brought a back up kit but I didn't need for a change.

And a tamiya paint pot for size comparison.

Gidday, erm, where's the guardrails?     1/2000, that's TINY! No way could I have worked at that scale. Well done. Regards, Jeff.

Think you need to go specsavers Jeff, I can clearly see them, but they're only 0.5mm tall!

 

Mild sassing of Jeff completed for the day; such a small scale must've been extremely difficult to work in, more so as I assume this is an old kit, but this has turned out real nice and captures her well.

Ps, If you fancy something a tad easier and want to appease Jeff's insatiable guardrail appetite , revell do 1/1200 'miniships' ('giant' compared to the above) and Tom's modelworks have in scale etch! Be warned though, my sausage fingers made short work of railing that small.

'HMS Hood a Long Way Away'. Interesting little build. I like the idea of an entire other kit as carpet insurance.
