That mast is a work of art.
One question, have you a supplier in the UK that will stock it ?

Not to hijack the thread, but will the Dreadnought set include PE torpedo net booms?

[Admiral John Byng]

I have seen some of the parts of this set in the Main Forum and it looks very nice.

Have you considered making resin parts for the Pom Poms and selling them as separate items?

I would like to have some for my other ships.

Thanks,
Roger

Sure.
All net booms of 30ft and 12ft will be scribed.
But boom links will be realized with PE.

Just started this project.
You can meet by October all of this Dreadnought set.

Separate selling is under consideration.
Especially I am selecting what resin parts should be realized.

By boom links, do you mean the boom rigging cables or the deployed net?
If you are including the net in PE, will it be full-depth or stop at the waterline? (I've been wanting to display a full-hull ship with a deployed, full-depth torpedo net for a long time.)

Well Boom links mean joint part as hook and eyehole for attaching scribed brass with plastic kit.
For the net, we are searching good material for best effect not PE.

Thank you

Thanks for the reply Kim, I am really looking forward to this set!

Kim are you planning a similar set for Tamiya's HMS King George V and HMS Prince of Wales at some point?
