Bigger bump- Dave's added more bits to his shapeways shop. The full bow's up.
The parts look really complex and it's clear that he must have spent an age on this brilliant work of art.
Currently I'm waiting on the upper stern sections, buying a couple of the bigger bits once a fortnight.
I'm also waiting on a quote from a local company that laser cut acrylic sheet.
Can't wait to get this finished.

It's going to be the centrepiece of my collection.

Hello everyone -- I'm finally getting some more work done. I'm attaching a PDF document that explains the stern section armature parts and how they fit together, and another one for the center span. Hopefully they will help.
32buds: I think 3mm acrylic sheet is sold here in the US as 1/8, so you should be good. Jedi Dade, the 1/32 pieces are really very simple -- all basic rectangles. You could probably cut them yourself out of any compatible transparent plastic like sheet styrene.
Here are the documents:

The Laser cutter asked if I could get these as Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator files. Is that something that is easy for you? Also where you have things like "2 each" he said he needed that laid out so he could take it to the cutter.
Do I just have a bad cutter or is this "normal"
Sorry Jedi Dade -- just saw this. The laser cutter I've ordered from prefers to lay out the multiple parts himself. I can send you the Illustrator files if you still have need of them -- just let me know.

Guys, if you're doing the internal armature use these guys: Pololu - Custom Laser Cutting Service
Price is very reasonable and they do 1/32.
