Just a thought! When I compare model (wooden) ship building to other forms, armor, aircraft, etc. it looks pretty generic. I'm old enough to remember getting our first color television, the excitement of going from "black and white". I have old ship model catalogs dating back to 1969 and product offerings haven't changed much with the exception of plank on frame kits. Entry, intermediate, and experienced level kits have been around a long time. Other modelling categories seem to add more options or accessories to challenge the imagination, figures, equipment etc...

Recently. I completed the Model Shipways Dory, excellent kit, but built it as a diorama. Granted I'm not a rookie but thought when I finished what if there was a small line of standardized wood kits, 1/24 for example with accompanying accessories that would generate additional modelling interest. One advantage, that don't take up much space when finished!
