Welcome to the Canberra Model Shipwrights Society
The Canberra Model Shipwrights Society (CMSS) was established in Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory, on 21 April 1988. It has the objectives of fostering and maintaining interest in building and constructing scale model ships, boats and associated fittings, gear, equipment, armaments and relevant items and structures and the pursuit of excellence in this field.

Below is a photo of a scratch built model of the Sir Edward Hawke (Scale 1:50), constructed by Richard Keyes and entered in the CMSS Expo 2006. This model is only planked on one side and clearly shows the plank-on-frame construction, a technique that is most often used to construct our model ships.
Many more model ship photos are available on our Models Showcase pages.
