Old colour footage also had its share of issues. Colour footage is not always precisely accurate.
So, judging precise colours from black and white photos is often an exercise in futility.Ĥ. The matter becomes even more complicated when one considers additional factors such as the reflective/absorption properties of the ship's paint(s), weather/environment/lighting, the camera's settings, original development/processing work and later scanning and processing work! The result is that a "paint job" could look much lighter or darker than it actually was. Panchromatic films were more balanced, but the problem is that we have no way of positively knowing what film type was used for old photos. As a result, when processed, blues tended to look lighter and reds tended to look darker.
Orthochromatic film was sensitive to bluish light. This is because there are numerous factors which tend to make film unreliable: First is the type of film that was used. Please do not "guesstimate" colours from old black & white photos. Our goal is not to judge people's work, but to encourage modelling and creation of artwork of Hood.ģ. This even applies to the models and paintings we feature on our own web site - these items aren't displayed necessarily because of accuracy, but simply because they depict Hood. One can never be sure of the level of research conducted, or, the degree of accuracy imparted into the final product. Please do not rely solely upon kit painting instructions, photos of completed models or paintings/artwork. As long as YOU are happy with your work, that's ALL that counts! If, however you wish to be as accurate as possible, please read on!Ģ. You are certainly welcome to employ some "artistic license" here and there. Its YOUR model and its your choice to do as you please. There are far too many "rivet counters" out there on the World Wide Web. Despite this, don't feel that you have to do everything we (or others) recommend. ITS YOUR MODEL, YOU MAKE THE DECISIONS! Our intent is to help people create accurate renditions of Hood. With this in mind, we ask you to pay heed to or at least be aware of the following:ġ. We advise modellers and artists to follow these instructions if they wish to avoid some of the most common Hood-related painting mistakes.
