Looks like its going to take some planning on this build, but do have a few sites to get information from,'lucklie'. Here's a few pictures on the progress so far. Basic cutdown to waterline. Black plastic underside which will act as waterline when on base. Closeup of superstructure. Two of the 26 3in secondry guns with brass barrels, maybe should have added a coin say 5p to show the size!!!!. Have added today portholes to the top superstructure.

I am a moderator on 2 other forums and understand some of the problems. I have not been able to upload pictures etc so will not be able to post until its sorted. I apoligise for putting it so bluntly on my first pass here and have edited to explain better. Edited by foxy, Apr 2 2012, 07:55 AM.

Have made up the top main mast and it goe.s together very well, be it small pieces. Used plastic for the base supports and all are not fixed till the wood deck is down. The main armament are all fitted out and ready for painting. The top portholes have etchings on and its now time to paint the hull and superstructure before placeing the wood deck down, hatches and water tight doors etc will be added later. There's lots to go on this ship, with one 3 in brass gun comeing that was missing in the add on kit its full steam ahead. Edited by foxy, Apr 1 2012, 11:32 AM.

Yes its a very Interesting build to say the least, the Instructions that come with the add on kit are very vague and you need other sources to find were every thing fits, lucky there are other forums that give you some of the answers, 'but not all' . Hopefully more to follow.

Have moved on a bit with the wood deck now inplace after painting the various plastic bits before hand. Top centre section has its sig brown paint on, next its putting all the smaller bits(guns/searchlights) in. I must add that the wood decks are very easy with care to place, this being my first one. Have four others to do and am glad I got them, cannot praise them enuff. Edited by foxy, Apr 5 2012, 08:35 AM.

IPMS-Member 10605 Posts: 1,192 Group: Members Member #330 Joined: February 5, 2011	Ok moved on a tad with the Dreadnaught. Started on the superstructure, this has to be painted in stages as parts have to fit in at the same time with the Admirals work needing railings both sides, here I have started on the inner railings and bottom guns and searchlights are fitted. Here I have continued with the Bridge and its supports. Have added both railings and started on the items on deck. Going slow but a great challenge this is.
