    I became interested in this as an 8th grader. I went as far as to build a swampworks Brooklyn model but it has never battled. 10 years later I have moved to Houston and was thinking this might be fun to get into.

    Welcome!

    I have not looked, but there should be a club in your area. (the name North Texas Battle Group comes to mind.)

    Check the member finder of this web site for folks in your area.

    Looking forward to seeing photos of you build.

    Have a wonderful time.

    Greetings! Welcome back! Houston is one of the hotbeds for MWCI model warship combat. I'll send you a message a little bit later with some contact information for folks around Houston. Check out www.mwci.org for more info and please look up our channel on youtube: modelwarshipcombat.

    Welcome aboard. I have been around my group for about a year (newbie) and have not had the opportunity to battle, but it sure looks fun. If you already have a ship ready, you are well ahead of the game. Plus you have an active group in your area !!! Once you get on the water, I am sure that you will have a blast. I look forward to hearing your after action reports and seeing pictures of your new build. Once again, welcome aboard.

    Welcome, I know that the MWCI has a active group in the Houston area. You might want to contact Johnny Adams.

    I have been speaking with him and gave him a tour of the DEATH BADEN yesterday.

    No, he will have a boat but it will see quality time in the mud. That is on the bottom of the ponds.
