The Dreadnought had a lot of leaks, but I got them all sealed up now. Both ships had taken a pounding while I was battling them, and then sitting for 10 years didn't help them too much. The Dreadnought doesn't seem to be suffering the same cracks and warping the Kidd has. My main problem with all three ships is the guns, I have no idea how to put them back together. There is a huge pile of hoses and valves that I have no idea what to do with.. ha ha. I'm slowly sorting it out.
About the Gearing, I think they were only like 14 feet longer then a Fletcher, and the shape is about right, I wonder if you could modify the hull to work for a Fletcher. I'd like to have a Fletcher to battle again. I also have a few friends who are interested in getting into the hobby and had expressed interest in doing Fletchers as well. If you find out where they got them, please let me know. Thanks.
