[WWI] J.R.'s Dreadnought Review

[J.R. Boye]

 Oh yes, I saw the resin Dreadnought kit online. It does look to be a magnificent little kit, if pricey.
   In the meantime I printed out the free Digital Navy paper Dreadnought. That is another lengthy project. I also printed out the V 108 torpedo boat for practice and got a start on that when the Emden arrived......Hey, I thought ships were supposed to be easier to build than biplanes. These projects have MORE tiny parts and MORE rigging- even the subs have rigging!
    Yeah, "Castles of Steel" is definitely next on the book list, and then I will look into "Peter the Great" or "Nicholas and Alexandra". I really appreciate the recommendations from all of you!

                                                 J.R.
