Hello all, Always been intrigued by this hobby/sport! I watched some videos years ago And thought to myself man that looks like fun! I’m gonna build one someday. . I have never been around the hobby, and I am unsure if there are any battles still going on in Australia? Restrictions doesn’t sound good, surely they could sort a special licence? maybe in Northern Territory? (Anyway I will build a boat first! Try make that work, and be rules legal. Even if I cannot arm it yet, perhaps one day . .) Thanks all for such a great resource! I stumbled across some great videos on here. Wood vs fibreglass particularly and lots of build threads. . That got me inspired, I have plenty of scrap timber and plywood! So I thought I’ll just scale my 1/350 HMS Kent up to 1/144 and see what the deck shape looks like. So I cut that out and here we go!
I think the AusBG is still active, although their internet presence is in rather short supply. They are a Big Gun group, so while the ships are the same scale, some of the rules and hardware is different from what you'll find on here. https://www.ausbg.org/index.html
