Anyone out there that has bought the Combrig kit of HMS Vengeance might be interested in some photos I took of the builder's model.

I had intended to use them when I started to build mine but there are many differences. I realise that ships change over time and that, probably, accounts for a lot of those differences. Still, I hope some find them interesting.

You can find them here... http://david-j-ross.fotopic.net/c1923671.html

It looks like Fotopic may have ceased business so I have added an album to my Photobucket gallery.
