Louie da fly Posted October 17, 2022 #9 Posted October 17, 2022 Welcome to MSW, from sunny Ballarat! Where in Sydney do you live? I was there for some years in the 70's and 80's. Great photo. HMAS Australia II had a very honorable career, and it's nice to see a member of the crew working on a model of her. Have you decided what kind of ship you want to build? Steven mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
