Hi Simon,
Fantastic build and it's great to see it finished. I have learnt (and copied) alot over the past few months following this build.
Thanks for sharing your Dreadnought!

Simon,
congratulations to your 1st place, that one really is well deserved. I followed all of your build and I am still amazed every time I look at the cage aerials and the torpedo nets. Never seen anything comparable, just great!
Cheers,
Jan

Julian, Sean, Jam, Russell, Keith, Mike.
Thanks guys, much appreciated. I have to admit I was well chuffed myself, especially as I hadn't intended to put her in the competition when I went to the show, thought she would be better on the club stand, might attract comment from the punters. However we had a good turn out of members and she took up a lot of the limited display space, so into the completion she went.

Thank you Michael,
It has been one hell of a build, I was nice to win at Hendon, and be have the picture of her in the Airfix magazine.
This is going to be a difficult build to top.
Cheers
