in time or money?

You can spend as little or as much as you want. I built all of my stuff from scratch so I had maybe $400 in it and the radio was most of that.

I know guys that have ships worth $2-3000.

They are usually the first ones on the pond that everyone starts hunting for ... :D

how much detail is required. I mean cann i just make a really rough looking ship loaded with guns? or does it have to look like something that actually floats?



Again - as detailed as you want. I had plans of making this super detailed Flethcer class destoryer because I was living in Boston where the USS Cassin Young is moored. Then I got to my first battle and saw the amount of damage the superstructure sustains and decided against it.

I actually made two decks for one ship - a detailed deck and a battle deck so I could get my modelling fix and not get all bent out of shape when it got shot to hell.

That's frickin awesome. Any fire-bombs allowed? How about Age of Sail ships?



no fires. only gas powered guns. As for age of sail - if you can figure out how to remotely sail a ship and fight it - and get someone else to do the same that is will to fight, the go for it.
