Thanks for the update Ross,
That is definately a First Rate model. Looks great! I am very curious to know what you think the value is on one of these models, if you were to offer it for sale. Could you make money selling them(?) is probably a more appropriate question. Email me if that's more convenient. If you really haven't given it any thought, or you just feel like telling me that it's none of my damn business, that's fine too.

The market for these types of handcrafted, custom works of art would sell like crazy, here in Bellingham, WA. You just don't see any of them in any of the fancy art shops. I honestly think that if anyone is going to make some money selling kayaks, they'll sell more display models, by far. I also think that for a display in someone's house, bigger looks better, and more impressive. And more expensive. I consider 5 feet(plus) about the optimum length or 1/3 scale. The Cirrus hybrid I'm building is 6 feet long, and I am selling that one (already have a buyer) but have no idea for how much.

How much time do you think you will have into this model once its completed?

Thanks for any/all info you're willing to share. I truely appreciate it.
