Well done Martin, very clean build on what must be a difficult model to build. Your photos will help me greatly when I start my Combrig 700th Dreadnought!

excellent job Martin, well done for a very clean build of a complicated ship

Frank, get in touch if I can help out with the Combrig kit, there are a few pointers I could give you about it - http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/bb/hms/dreadnought-700-mm/mm-index.html - having learnt the hard way!

Hi Martin

The Dreadnought looks very nice and clean built!
You must be proud to have one more model on display (on a real place, not just the internet)!
Thanks for sharing it

Ah well Martin, everything fits so perfectly in your builds, you must have computer induced fingers so that you are able to do such tight job every time! There is no fails with what you build

You guys are going to give me a big fat head...thanks for the kind words, especially from an artist like you, JB. However, notice there are no close up shots - gotta hide all the flaws (and there are plenty!) somehow!!

Martin, I wanted to bring up this blast from the past that you posted before I had become really active on MSW. This is a beautiful build, and I was lucky enough to see it in person on the New Jersey. The pictures don't do justice to the master craftsmanship you put into her. I just wanted to give you my own overdue kudos.
