Hello, my name is Holger Neumann

I completely reconstructed, drawn and milled the superstructures from the Polish construction plan HMS Niaid (Dido class). I got all the accessories , such as hull, guns, bollards, anchors, from Ron. The shaft system comes from Germany, from Hobby Lobby Modellbau. I had the propellers made in the Propshop. If you have any questions about this type of ship, just send me an email. Maybe I can help further.

Andy
Thank you for taking the time to supply that information.
Perhaps i should rephrase my initial question

Has anyone on this forum built, or is building the Dido as a WW2 cruiser, or does anyone know if someone not on the forum has purchased the necessary parts to build one, could they get them to contact me please. Before i order the bits i would like to have a chat with them. and hopefully answer a few questions

Thanks

If you could specify the problem, maybe someone can help even tho they haven't built this type of class, but faced the same problem in their build?

If anyone on this forum has built this ship ( or a member of the class) or knows someone who has could they please contact me. I appear to have hit a very large brick wall and i haven't even started yet lol

Thanks
Ron
