Admittedly this will be a small topic but I thought I'd share some of the parts I've been using for my drawings - anyone else with Australian specific parts feel free to post here too

The LCVP used on HMA Ships Tobruk and Success (shown with both raised mast and folded mast for when stowed):


And the RHIB I use for my drawings:

Redrawing my entire AU after a long absence from Shipbucket

Excellent idea

And some more to add to the list -

Fantome Class survey motor launch (the Leeuwin class survey vessels use two of these):


The LR-5 submarine rescue submersible:


And the LCM-8 (This started as an update of the existing drawing, but that was off in a few places so it was easier just to redraw it):


I've posted the first two before but I figured it might be better to consolidate them into this thread.

could you two please check one thing for me.... are these all australian made parts or just stuff the australian navy uses?
it might be an good idea to split these 2..... especially as an 'aus navy parts sheet' can get quite big without any special stuff added (look at the dutch navy part sheet, half the stuff is already on the RN and US parts sheets) while australian produced stuff could be added on one sheet of various nations which produce not enough to really need their own sheets, but important enough to have their equipment represented (apart from australia, I would also add for example canada to that list)

just an idea/suggestion, and if you would say make an multination sheet, I will be glad to help a bit

I see what you mean, so far with the exception of the LR-5 which is British (I think) I've just been posting parts that are either Australian made or - in the case of the LCM-8 - a modification of which Australia is the only user. I'll have a think about making a parts sheet, though it will take me a while I'd probably limit it to Commonwealth navies (Canada, Australia, New Zealand and maybe South Africa) so that it doesn't get too massive! But I'll have a tinker with it and see where I get
