Hi Dreadnought


Welcome to the forum and madhouse! ;)


I take it you're building the 1/96 scale Dreadnought, I'm about halfway through one at the moment, hope you are enjoying yours as much as I am.
I'm interested in late Victorian to just post WW1 warships and have some Deans Marine kits (completed) of HMS Humber, SMS Emden, and approx 2/3 through the HMS Magnificent/Hannibal.
There are quite a few of us interested in WW1 especially this year with Jutland looming. If you need any info or help just ask, we are all here to help! :-))

Rome wasn't plated in a day Dreadnought! Pop some piccies up so we can contrast and compare the models taking shape.

Hi ballastanksian
When the weather starts to behave itself  :-) and I can get out to the shed I will take some pictures :-))
To be fair I've done quite a lot of work on her as all the electrics in the hull are done  :-)

That is a serious achievement especially for a multi shaft transmission. Did you use a mixer or separate speed controllers?
