The ShootingStar is a very nice baidarka. Maybe a little more difficult to build cause of the bow and stern as you said. But not impossible, just a challenge. Rob Macks has some tricks and treats with heatguns and hotglue.
I used a different method. Tortured veneer that was reinforced with glass.
There is some photos, and more to come, on my site www.kayaker.se
There was just one thing that I didn´t like and that was the distance between the stations. I would like atleast one more station and closer between them.
I´m building with 4,5mmx19mm b´n´c-strips (nordic spruce) and with this long distance it wasn´t that easy to get a fair curve all the way. I think that is easier with about 6mm-cedarstrips.
The ShootingStar is very nice to paddle. Well tracking, easy to manouver, fast and with high stability. I´ve had totally beginners paddle her with no problems.
If you have questions, just ask them!
