Strewth :o I'd just posted on your work list about seeing more on an AU, and you'd already started.

I do find that these old cruisers look a bit basic, unless we can get some very detailed photo's; and it was your good self who supplied the original drawing. I want to make a start on HMAS Sydney next - t...

Yes, she certainly was an interesting ship, for many reasons, one of which was that she was the first warship designed and built in Australia until well after WWII. http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q149/dougiemoody/Misc/Albatross20converted.jpg Here she was as The Hellenic Prince, converted to an ...
