Seen yesterday evening at the local model lake.
This 1:96 all scratch HMS Dreadnought on her
maiden voyage is the first model built by a
new comer to warships and took 3years to build .
Being his first model what will his second be like?
Well done to the modeller concerned

Dave that looks very impressive, well done to the modeller concerned.

Well Well, looks like you have competition at last. I'll have to get on with the 'Derfflinger' now, if only to frighten the Dreadnought!

Very nice model I must say, but the Union Flag shouldn't by hoisted on the forward jackstaff at sea, only in port. Didn't you get the guy's name?
If you didn't, I find it odd as you normally do.

Wow, great pics! Thanks for posting.

An apology.

My previous comments re flag were uncalled for. A case of not thinking (do I ever??) straight. So to all concerned, especially to the inknown model maker, my profuse apologies. I bow my head in shame.

THAT is extremely sweet.

3 years? Yes...I'm on track then!

A beautiful model and well photographed...I'd appreciate some more if you have them, Dave?

Regards,

Andy

The model is almost totally scratch built . The hull, I believe is made using a combination of marine ply and card . I glimpsed the interior and yes it was constructed using a plank on frame method. Very little is of commercial origin. I think most "scratch" builders are tempted to use for what ever reason some commercial fittings but this guy manufactured just about the entire model and all credit to him .

i wish that they had "rc ship" lakes here in Nebraska because that would be sweet to go out and see all the ships on a saturday or sunday afternoon. I guess thats the price i pay for living in the middle of the USA.

He made all of his own fittings?! I'm impressed.

Is anybody kitting a large scale Dreadnought?

Really "just for the record" - but in case anyone hasn't seen it on the main board, Zvesda have announced that they are to produce a 1/350th HMS Dreadnought.

The upcoming 1/350 HMS Dreadnought from Zvezda is up for reserve.
