Shipbuilding in the inland city of Canberra, A.C.T.

Around the world there is a community of model builders who compete with each other to build small scale replicas of famous ships.

They could be old sail ships or modern battleships. These aren’t the plastic models that you built as a kid, rather these are kits with sometimes thousands of miniature parts.

See my photojournal that shows the progress on my model of the Bismarck, (the famous World War II dreadnought of the German Navy, or Kriegsmarine).

Building a ship of the quality that competitive modellers of today demand takes months. Small-scale engineering is lengthy, painstaking work.
