not started yet and have my first problem ,I purchased a plan from an online store and it seems the rib sections are a different scale
to the hull profile, which means the hull plan across the beam is also wrong. looks like some redrawing will be necessary .
 
she will get really huge - very impressive
 
sorry very difficult to see much on that plan, I would be surprised if anything matches the plan I am
using as there are so many mistakes in it.

There are several contemporary drawings of the HMS Hood still existing - they can be ordered from the NMM in original size

Royal Museums Greenwich Images

Royal Museums Greenwich Images has the world's greatest source of historical maritime images.

and maybe you can find the drawings also at wikipedia in high resolution - please check this topic out

Research in National Maritime Museum Greenwich "RMG" "NMM" - 3.580 drawings now also at wikipedia

I showed already in several locations here in our forum the very interesting web-page of the Royal Museums Greenwich or the National Maritim Museum Here you can see the web-page with a research for the HMS Africa, launched in 1761 - Here contemporary drawings and plans, but also artefacts...

Tony, the site reduced the size & resolution making it harder to read. the original on my pc is 4800x1046 pixels at 1.03mb but the site reduced it to 1406x306 at 84kb. is the plug going to stay as 1 piece or 2 pieces along the keel? pm your email so i can send you what i have in plans.
