    My name is Scott I live in Murwillumbah which is located in northern N.S.W. Australia near the coast.
    I have been out of the hobbie for about ten years, focusing more on my rowing and coaching.
    I love building ships and desighning gun and torp systems.
    I haven't 20170421_110705.jpg had a lot of battles but have amased quite a fleet due to my prolific building (no arms treaty in my shed).
    My ships are H39, KGV, Washington, Arizona, Shinano, Bolzano, M1 (British Sub 12inch gun) and
    Fort Drum. I will post pictures in Time as now most are in mothballs, litrily due to our wasp problem the buggers will build a nest in annything.

    Cheers
    Scotty

    Yes the guns I made myself but since them I have made improovments to the accum and firing valve
    and yet to apply them to this ship.
    Most of the supper is made from alloy plate and riveted together, very tuff.
    It hasent been in battle yet I usaly use my KGV wich has the upgraded guns. 20170421_121444.jpg

    I must say your big gun ships look better than the ones I have seen stateside. Of course, the Canadian ships put out fast guns ships to shame in many cases.
