HMS Dreadnought


Recommended Posts

Absolutely stunning build for a scratch exercise!

I am left speechless. What scale is it? This shows you how much I know about warships!

Congrats

Thanks JR, but I probably know less than any of you about warships! :shrug: It is 32 feet to 1 inch. I got the plan from Anatomy of a Ship book. It was my first warship. The other was the heavy cruiser Norfolk. I just followed the plans to the best of my ability, didn't even know what half the stuff was for!

Thanks,

I have very little knowledge of warships, and can't really remember why I built these two. My wife painted the sea on the Norfolk.

I really prefer merchant ships because they are rather more colourful, and come in all sizes from tiny to the biggest things afloat, although my preference is ships built between about 1850 and 1965. It is unlikely that I will build any more warships! My ship was taken over by the RN in 1982 for the Falklands, and the Navy life did not really appeal to me, although it was a very interesting time!

Wow! It sounds like you have an interesting life?

I am more of an aircraft man to be honest but find myself getting drawn towards ship building recently and it's a whole new area of learning for me.

I am fascinated by the Royal Navy schemes of the 1st and 2nd World Wars
