                        Given limitations of time, space, and $$$, 1/700 ship kits seem like the way to go? I have become interested in building distinctive ships like the Brit monitor Abercrombie, IJN Fuso, and Richeleiu. Combrig and Hi-Mold seem to be the vendors of choice. Any comments on these two manufacturers? Anyone with experience with these kits in particular? Any other manufacturers I should look at?

                        Don't know if you have ever come across Modelwarships, but they have reviewed several of the Combrig 1/700 range. The link is http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/reviews.html 

                        Haven't had the courage to try a resin kit yet, but am very tempted by their HMS Tiger & HMS Dreadnought kits.

                        You may want to poke around www.steelnavy.com.  They have a lot of kit reviews from a variety of kit makers that may give you some ideas as to your best choices.
