The Awesome Trumpeter Hood Model is a Beast! | The 1/200 HMS Scale Hood Update

Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

This video has a tutorial on scratch building and painting part of the super structure on the Trumpeter 1/200 scale Hood. It is part of a playlist series on the Home Page. The long term plan is to cover as much of the entire build as I can over the lengthy journey as I started it two years ago and only work on it in the summer. During the winter I work on the railroad.

$The Secret To Awesome Model Terrain Color | St-Lo Mini Series # 2 | Boomer Diorama Who thinks of pink when it comes to terrain color? In reality, pink is found as a filter in almost everything we see, but we dont register the color because it is so subtle. Its a combination of light refraction that plays off the natural color prism in earths atmosphere.
