AMMS Brisbane

There are a large number of pieces of military equipment in Queensland which are used as war memorials. These are often not well documented and unknown to the modelling community. The aim of this project is to document these and where possible create walkarounds as a resource for modellers.

If you know of guns or other equipment that aren’t in the following list please email with the type of equipment and location.

We would be grateful to anyone who would take the time to do a walkaround of the equipment especially for items remote from Brisbane. We will put walkarounds on the AMMS Brisbane website with appropriate attribution. Please email for guidelines for creating walkarounds.
