Modern building techniques would make the build so much longer and way more expensive............ :omg:

Would it be the techniques, Brian?

Or would it be the people wielding the building techniques, the bureaucracy required to operate them, and the interference by the gold-ringed diots who want to change a contracted successful design, and changed again by their replacement gold-ringed idiots. :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

I guess there would need to be all those "design changes" that were done to improve operation and maintenance (though never quite making it to the "formal" point :pull hair: ).

..................................................... sorry, just had moment thinking about "Pentagon Wars" and the change from a lightly armoured, tracked fast infantry vehicle (for 11 members) to the Bradley Fighting Vehicle that came off the production line (outstanding)..............see your point Seejay :snap:

The excellent photo below was posted on the HMAS Brisbane FB Page by Bradley James Martin, a very skilled (ex-Nirimba
trained?)
MTP, who built both the :prayer: magnificent 1.85m model of 'The Steel Cat' :cat1: and the display cabinet. :notworthy:

Image

:-k Bradley had already mentioned on the HMAS Brisbane FB Page that he was a former Stoker, which prompted me to post:
'For Stoker, you make a bloody good Chippy...!' Bradley came back with: 'They didn't give me a chance at 'H'! Went in
with weld cert etc., too.'
=; I don't know if that meant Bradley was trained at Nirimba, or not, but it says a lot about the
selection process in place at the time that he wasn't able to pursue his choice of vocations, despite his prior qualifications... [-(

Rick,

I've had a search of the SH Nominal Roll between 1970 and 1984. No listing of a B J Martin.

Therefore, I would assume he entered via Cerberus.

Don't know if any of you Guys ordered one of the long awaited resin kits of DDG41 'The Steel :cat1: Cat' HMAS Brisbane, but Bryson Ryan, the person who organised
them, has advised that the kits have all now arrived in Australia (from France) and are now being re-shipped by Bryson to each of us individuals who bought them.... :yess:
