RGL Posted November 5, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2023 When I first built Dreadnought I did not own an airbrush and used rattle cans and paintbrushes. I was really happy with the build at the time and it’s time to redo her in a different way. hopefully better.

But you know that already... {chuckle} Congrats on the wins, (I thought your artillery train would win one as well) At least they saw the fineness of it.... I'm in for this one brother.... Dreadnaughts aren't my real cup of tea, (more along WWII era) but then the Arizona is a superdreadnought and is one of my favorite ships.... Maybe I'll learn something....

Each PE set has portholes as a ring but that’s not how they were. You can hardly see them from a distance but has to be done.
