H.M.S. Dreadnought

[MrT]

Started working on the H.M.S. Dreadnought yesterday. I haven't built a ship in a while so I thought I had better do a little practice before tackling the Arizona.

Lots of small sub assemblies ahead.

I don't know it might not be much I'm dusting off some old skills.

Well the first thing you relearn while ship building is patience. I worked for 2 hours and completed funnel number 2 and started one of the main batteries.

Big changes coming up.....

I'll be watching ... She's looking very good at the moment, Mr. T ... Me I must save some money up for the barrel upgrade I found on the net ... I suspect you'll opt for brass barrels ... :captain

I have some, but they are for another kit. I have to admit I don't like the way Trumpeter has engineered the main battery assembly. I'm thinking I will need to adapt the metal barrels I have to this kit.
