On the other half of the great dividing hessian wall from the Women's War2 can be found a collection of impressive model naval boats. Mamy of them were built by model builder Mike Evans who spent, and continues to spend, many thousands of patient hours building his models from scratch, putting minute detail into each of these masterpieces.

The showpiece of these models is HMAS Nestor, dedicated to Neville George, founder of the museum.  Other models include USS Lexington (with the deck made from thousands of matchsticks), HMS Sydney, a Flower class Corvette, HMAS Anzac, and Bathurst class HMAS Townsville and Fremantle class HMAS Townsville.
