After seeing a feature in Daily Planet, some looking around the internet, and finding out a friend of mine is already into it, I have decided to get into the hobby of R/C naval combat, which basically consists of 1/144 scale model ships with 1/32" balsa wood hulls shooting BBs at each other until they sink. So far I have the basic shape of the frame designed for my ship, but I have a long way to go until I'm blasting my foes out of the water.

When complete, my vessel will be 2 metres (6' 8") bow to stern, and 20 centimetres (8") keel to deck.
