Ooh... If I only had the time and money.... I just got back from OpSail 2012 this past weekend, and I'd love to have them build me a custom model of one of the locally-based tall ships.

This would be a cool one to get involved with but the last two have pretty much done in my discretionary funds.

Well, I thought I would update this thread a bit since I did get into this kickstarter and it did deliver pretty close to on time. If you want to see what a laser cut ship looks like from the ground up here are the direct links in my blog to the projects:

I'm at the rigging stage with the HMS Frolic and I want to take it a little farther along than the instructions. I have been doing a little rigging research and I'm getting to order the extra pieces needed to enhance the bit game rigging that will be going on the ships.
