HMS Dreadnought 1:350 (Zvezda kit + Pontos Detail Set)

[Voyteque]

Hello All,

I have been building this beautiful ship for over 3 months. It is the first model which I have decided to build more seriously... This is why I have used the Pontos detail set. It is still not perfect and I know there is a lot for me to learn about modelling but still I am quiet happy with the result

I am opened to Your opinions and feedback

Ahou Wojtek!

" I am opened to Your opinions and feedback "

The model looks pretty good , well done-- I have not studied it for flaws as such!

However the only immediate --to me--glaring omission I noticed...
was that the deployed torpedo nets on the swinging booms are completely devoid of the rigging required to operate and support the booms...

note the brailing davits for the nets at the deck-edge

Thank You Jim,

You are totally wright - it needs correction. I will do this next week also replacing the flag which is from the set and looks horrible...

This is the kind of feedback I was looking for!

Thank You Bob very much! I still think weathering is a little bit overpowered...

Torpedo nets were included in Pontos PE set. I can't imagine how could anyone do it by himself...
