Brian's 1/350 1918 Dreadnaught build

Thread owner
Hi all re-opened the model room will be starting soon, need to get the Dreadnaught finished so I can start my 1/200 hood :) I'll have to catch up on all the progress I have missed :)

Just an hour and had to leave it :smiling3: don't know weather I'm impatient to get on to the Hood or I'm fed up with 1/350 I think it looks ok ish

Looks good from here!
Coming back is often an up-hill hike, worth it for the view from the top.

Looking fine Brian. Still a way to go I can see. If you are genuinely impatient to work on the Hood maybe put this to one side for a while or work on the Hood as well. It would be such a shame to rush this and risk cutting corners as it's looking so good.
