Click on an image thumbnail in the table below to view the full resolution image.
We are sorry if the resolution is not what you need, the documentation was assembled as we went and we did not spend much time taking pretty pictures. All images are digital from the start, so we have no film.

CAD images by Sam Homans and Shelly Cheng. Photos and Photoshop work by Ilan Kroo.
