      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I don&#039;t need another hobby but I&#039;m interested. If nothing else it is probably a cheaper hobby that my interest in building a cyclekart.<br />
<br />
Mostly interested in fast gun due to the nearby events in NJ but I could be swayed in another direction. <br />
<br />
I&#039;d love the ease of a pre-made fiberglass hull but I am drawn more to odd ball ships which is going to make getting started rather slow.]]></content:encoded>

I tried finding help on YouTube but there isn’t much posted. Finally I found you guys. I my first ship to be a fletcher or the USS Missouri. If anyone has beginner friendly plans that build a somewhat large ship that would be great. <br />

<br />
I have recently started on a USS Texas build. This project was stemmed from me having a couple 3d printers. I was lucky enough to find a very kind soul to sell me some files to build the USS Texas. This boat was designed to be a big gun boat and will be filled out as such. <br />

So far from start to where I am at now has been about 2 weeks of printing and a dabble of Amazon. The hull is complete, super structure is 90% printed and the...<br />

My most recent experience was just before Covid, with WRMYC, racing 1M Soling sailboats, but the &quot;racing rules of sailing&quot; can get tedious and litigious.. and the battling ships thing looks like great fun with less hairsplitting discussion..]]></content:encoded>

A friend of mine at the time bought a Swampworks USS Brooklyn and started on construction but never got past cutting the holes in the hull.

My latest endeavour is a refurbishment of a 1:150 model of HMS Lion, a Royal Navy battle-cruiser from WWI. I completed it in 1976. It has not seen water since 1980. I joined the local club here in Ottawa, Canada and after seeing their corvettes etc I decided to rebuild Lion.

To Arizona<br />
<br />
To South Dakota<br />
<br />
I know that is a rabbit hole. So is this topic, fast gun or big gun. I’m leaning towards BG. Due to being open with guns. But what challenges me is the price of guns. What frustrates me is not enough links to begin able get said guns and videos...<br />
