Just curious,are any of you model builders?I have been building models for over 30 years now.That being said,I havent built one in a few years,I do have a 'small stack' of them sitting under my workbench.I guess I spend too much time playing games now than working on my old hobby.
If so,check out this site,it has some great ship models.A little pricey though.

Thanks , nice link. I also have some max mdls, it will be interesting if this sim will have an open architecture.

i make matchstick models, but I’ve only managed to finish one and i have another one sitting half finished on my desk, that's because they take a long time to build, so many little sticks, so little time.

Iam a model builder in 2 ways. I build real life models like my fletcher model wich is about 80% done. And then there is my 3D modeling. I have made a modle of the U.S.S.NewMexico{AKA BB-45}. That model is about 75% done.
This is a photo of the Actual ship.

I build & battle 1/144 scale RC combat warships so this game is looking to be right up my alley. (http://www.mwci.org for more info on the hobby)
