How big a reproduction are you thinking and do you have crew and money dripping off your butt?

If I get credit, there would be no royalty fees associated with it.

It's good to have a hobby. Don't just stop there, I need more information ...

Frosty: when was she decommissioned? First time I heard.

Decommissioned?

(Splutter, splutter into my pink gin, Nelson didn't die for this, chunter, chunter, bloody young people these days . . . )

HMS is still commissioned and is the Flag ship of the Second Sea Lord, Vice-Admiral Sir Alan Massey KCB CBE ADC.
