This is some progress photos I took when I built my POB model of the H.M. Bomb Vessel Granado 1742. I am looking forward to the cross section build as soon as I finish my Eagle. If you need any help with the prototype please let me know.                  | ||

The Bomb Vessel looks great! Who was the manf. of the kit? Winston Scoville www.modelshipbuilder.com Helping preserve the art of model ship building | ||

It is high quality kit .The only problem I had with it came when I was installing the mortars. The only way you can turn them is toward the masts. If I had studied the plans in Peter Goodwin’s book “The Bomb Vessel Granado 1742” I could have made the bay rotate 360 degrees. Overall it makes a nice dust collector on the fireplace mantel. | ||
