OMG DO WANT! lol

Boy's gotta have a hobby. :D

Not my thing, but I know what it is to have something that makes you smile whenever you see it. :sunny:

Nice one http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Boasting again, Steve! :)

I think it's brill too, and I'd like it, but I don't think the wife'd go for it - it was all I could do to get a signed copy of The Two Ronnies 'Fork Handles' sketch on the wall. *just waiting for the unfunny one to go and it'll be worth a fortune* :oops:

I like it ... :yeah:

Looks great!

Man, I am jealous of your poster. :shifty:

:rotfl2:

Unfortunately, no. Not about that anyway. :D

Ditto.....got a LE print of HMS Kelly signed by five survivors and two copies of the very rare HMS Hood prints by Robert Taylor and signed by the suvivor Ted Briggs.

I purchased them over thirty years ago and whilst my fathers was framed and displayed (like the example above, mine is still in the cardboard tube it was delivered in.

Cool

Makes a nice addition to the gaming room decor! :up:

Noit so much an investment but more of a 'that looks nice to have'.

Jimbuna,

Ted Briggs was quite the nice fellow. My friend David led the subsea expedition on the HOOD which you might like to see. You can read the book "Hood and Bismark" for more info ..

I will post a link to follow on. http://www.hmshood.com/hoodtoday/2001expedition/index.htm

Ted Briggs, the sole living survivor from Hood, was transported to the expedition vessel to pay a final tribute to his former friends and shipmates and was allowed to physically release the memorial plaque on to Hood.

:salute:

Brilliant link and very much appreciated Pappy http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

surely a little diplomacy and TLC will get it!

thanks for the positive reviews all!

my friend has just been round and he likes it too and he isnt interested in the subject matter.

my children think im 'weird' but then again they probably would untill its their turn to do something 'weird' !!

Parents and children will always think the other is weird for something or other. It's the way of the world. My step-son thinks I'm weird as I've recorded quite a few old films recently (Tora, Tora, Tora. Operation Crossbow. We Dive at Dawn. Above us the Waves. Etc.), and I think he's weird as he'd rather watch some other films. :damn:

Very nice. Now I want one. Anyone remember the grid map that came with "Aces of the Deep?" Anyone still have theirs? I had mine professionally mounted and seaded to plaque board. It has a hanger on the back, but I have not hung it yet, just keep it next to my system for when I need a quick map reference.

Thanks for share'N the link Pappycain ... :yeah:
