I realize that anything uploaded to the net is up for grabs, so I simply added a small watermark in the corner. Now, I host this tiny website myself at very low cost, so I decided to post relative small images (typically about 1200 by 900 pixels) but in good quality. Rick Davis, or websites such as Brent Jones’ USS Astoria or Tracy White’s Researcher at Large, you know, the kind of contributions that made go fine! FINE! Let’s have a gallery. And then there are several wonderful galleries by e.g. The IWM is unfortunately quite expensive but many archives offer their high-resolution images for free, even some that used to be expensive. Now, recently the Imperial War Museum have expanded their WWII online preview database tremendously there are more than 600 shots of HMS King George V alone and I can distinctly remember having so few photographs when I built my KGV model in the pre-internet days. Fine, anything you upload might be used without reference and even offered as a print on Ebay by the worst of the worst (See my ebay post here). I occasionally post an image here and there and recently found one shot I uploaded to -from when the Special Warship Pictures thread was still ongoing-on reddit ( here). And I have to admit, I have been ‘sitting’ on them, only to post the occasional snippet in a blog post. I’ve been keeping a keen eye on Ebay for several years, looking for photographs or entire albums that can be of interest for my next modeling project (HMS Prince of Wales, and possibly Rodney in 2073).
