This was a challenge I placed onto my little brother, me and him would commemorate those that have fallen by constructing the HMAS Sydney 2, please do not bully him, he is not that good, but he wishes to learn, I have tried to put more photos in but it keeps saying error.
I have tried to make it as accurate as possible, there are inaccuracies, but I hope they are minor, I repainted the ship to symbolise that Australia is dirt by sea, this is likely my favourite construction out of them all, and I am planning to make the IJN Yamato soon, I understand they are enemies, but I respect their honour based culture, reminiscent of the Sanghelios in the Halo universe.
I used the 3d model made by Paul Bourke on Sketchfab, if you wish to recreate the HMAS Sydney, I direct you to him.
