      Ready for launch: Master model maker John Craig shows off his latest warship - a scale model of HMCS Toronto. The exnavy man provides scale models of ships for the defence department and will soon have a fleet of 13 ready for delivery. Craig says the real HMCS Toronto will be a 'Humdinger' which will make Canadians proud of their navy again.
