Hi all
This is the Trumpeter 1:350 HMS Dreadnought 1907. Apart from the provided PE, I used railing from Eduard, turned barrels from Sea Master and wooden deck from Hunter. Both masts were scratch built using metal rods and pipes. Hope you like it and do feel free to comment.

Super job, Jacob! It is a nice, clean build, and you gave the ship just the right amount of weathering. Bravo Zulu!

Grant: I used very fine string for fly binding, fishing lures, which I bought in a sports fishing store.
