Hi Kevin,
Your link is ok, but when I try to contact the guy I am redirected to Shapeways...
 
IMHO for the price it has far too many mistakes. Some of these are quite obvious such as the twisted wire decoration on the main rail at the head, incorrect cannon pattern, and gratings that are totally out of scale. There are more, but these jump out as someone's fantasy at OcCre rather than being at least a little bit more realistic. I am in communication with them now regarding these and they are quite receptive to getting this information. I have no idea what they will do with it, but they seem to be genuinely interested. An example showing the main head rail is below. The left is the OcCre design, the contemporary model is Victory 1765 and the last is Victory today which is based on her time at Trafalgar.

Thank you very much for the information.
The kit is truly very expensive, for me at least, and if it also has all those inaccuracies that you talk about, it would be even more expensive to make it real.
Greetings
