Really it is the inspiration to others rather than an exact model or the paintwork.
After all the experts are still arguing about which paint job the Victory had at Trafalgar, and we have her in front of us as an example and one of the most written about sea battles of the Napoleonic era.
I have now opened the sub forum and will add a ship shortly just to lead people to the spot. if I find anything I deem unsuitable I will just move it to a more appropriate thread.
