Bramble 1:96  Hood 1:128  brings home just how big the Hood was, or equally how tiny the Algerians were ::DD

I'm still amazed by how BIG the old capital ships were, compared to their contemporaries of the time - and even compared to modern warships.

I like the two models of the Mighty Hood, showing different arrangements of the secondary armament, and even for the age of the design, she still looks such a graceful ship.
