Hi Timmy, it is no part of the world as you will have to get close when the roof is on and with a torch, but, from the outside on a bright day it will give an appearance of a chart on the chart table.

Thanks guys for you comments, she will only get better from now.

Actually Timmy, it's a chart of Kingsbury Lake. :lol_3: :lol_3: :lol_3:

Paul is not very familiar with this place as it will be Dreadnought's first appearance.

But I'm sure Paul would be able to reproduce a real map if he so wishes :big_grin:

Hi guys, just to let you all know that Dreadnought has been mothballed for a couple of weeks, due to other commitments, but, there will be a new update midweek on this last weekend's progress, stick with it. She should be completed by the end of August and goes operational mid June, unless I can manage earlier.
I have got somebody jumping on me for another ship, LOL, well, hell, I should do a Burke 2A in about 4 weeks?
Paul...

Lovely! I'm finding your work on and around the superstructure answering several questions for me. I look forward to the next instalments.

When/if you have the time, would you mind saying whether the kit is worth the money, how well has it gone together/would it go together if you weren't scratching a lot of it, and (64M$ one) would you build one again? Just curious!

This is the reason why the Dreadnough has not appeared for a few weeks. I have been working on these.

The first set of photos are of an Arleigh Burke

Okay guys, I have just blown the cobwebs of the Dreadsty, after completing other projects, but work has now resumed. I have now got the motors installed and everything has been bench tested. Other work has been putting on the submarine booms along the sides and quite a few more deck fittings, and work on the mast.

More updates to follow
