Today, I started developing BlueJacket Shipcrafters' newest kit, OLYMPIA. It will be a traditional wooden kit with current technology - machine-carved basswood hull, laser-cut superstructure parts, britannia castings, lots of photo-etch, resin castings, etc. I'll be documenting the process with digital photos that will be posted on the OLYMPIA discussion group. If you're curious about how kits like this are developed, join the group.
