SleeperService Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 That is a lovely build. I've been thinking about getting one myself I think I will. Grandad SleeperService was on her 1906 to 1910 (or 11) then retired from the Navy. Called back in 1914 and went to Felixstowe for the RNAS, the Navy works in mysterious ways....

TheBaron Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Perfectly judged in appearance - restrained and engaging in equal measure. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris B Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Thank you lads. I recommend to have a look on Dreadnought done by Nick Charnock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Stunning build of this legendary warship. Got the same kit and it looks like a relative straight forward build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 for a first ship that is simply superb. I've been majoring in maritime since I started modelling nearly 50 years ago and mine aren't that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtickWarspite Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 What a fantastic Dreadnought! Completely blows my build out of the water (pardon the pun). The extra details you have added are amazing and lift it up significantly, and the subtle weathering gives her so much character. Did you get all your aftermarket bits from the same place? I've got the 1915 version I'd like to do one day, but there are so many aftermarkets bits you can get, so if there was a one stop shop that did everything in a bundle then that would be ideal..

Bill.B Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 At 1/350 scale you’ve achieved a terrific result and the weathering is spot on for my taste. Very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, but no. Deck and model of the same seller and PE separately. Both from eBay. Barrels I've bought directly from Master Model in Telford, and 12 pdr guns from North Star Model manufacturers Web site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 1 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Agree with all above; this is very finely finished with great detail and subtle finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriers4Life Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 That is awesome! Can I please ask what the vertical strips are along the hull that you added? (Not the torpedo net booms). I have been flicking through my Anatomy of the Ship book, but can't seem to find anything about them? I'm not a rivet counter, I was just curious and was wondering what they were, how you found out about them and whether or not to add them to my Dreadnought... 😊 Thanks, and once again that's a great model! 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bissyboat Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Superb. I like the algier stains under the boot topping. Gives me an idea. ⚓🙌 Edited February 2, 2023 by bissyboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
