More photos of Paul Simpsons superb Dreadnought. This time showing the Torpedo net stowage arrangement. The netting comes from plain old tights , recycling for modellers. :lol_spit_1:

What a cool report! Excellent built!

I hope you don't mind, that I put a link in our german forum? (If you do, please sent me a mail and I remove it immediatly)

http://www.u-boot-net.de/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1589

I am looking to set up an "international connection" between modelbuilders of the imperial era in 1/96, resp. 1:100. So therefor I would be pleased, if you also visit our "Kaiserliche Marine Foren" http://www.marine-forum.de where a very active group of model-builders exchanges their knowledge.

English posters :welcome: !!!!

Wonderful !

just wonderful !

Dreadnought was the first of a large breed , and is still , to me , one of the most handsome warships ever built ( just after the QE class )

regards ,

Hi Ron, been round and round with this one on weight, I work with dead weight, not ballast and the construction is different also, I would say that Dreadnought is actually heavier to get to the right water line that Illustrious, my modern one and not Geoff's, I can put an I class carrier in the water with one hand using my hand/arm like a davit, this thing is diferent because of all the sticky out bits etc. I am a fairly big chap and have the muscle, but, Dreadnought is a bit more delicate.

she is a ball breaker!
sits well light, don't ya think?

smoke unit and some rigging being added this comming week, plus more ballast for Ron, LOL, he can do the lowering if he wants? Old man, he will need three of him.

This thang weighs a ton!

Hi Ron, yes she is riding high due to light ballast, but, she aint tender at all! She is a double hernia job as she is and because she is being sent to a client in the US, the ballast is only temporary for testing. I'll bring some more lead for next weekend to try and get her down some more, but, she don't need it really. It will just make her look more correct.

Pual, Will you be sailing Dreadnought next week as in your pictures, or will you sail her a little deeper in the water, she looks a little tender.
