But has anyone given thought to some FG style ships?
It would really be neat to be able to build an FG style battleship, aircraft carrier, sub, destroyer, tanker, etc...

I agree would love to find a carrier model for a decent price.

yah, it would be nice to have a few FG ships, esp. aircraft carriers, but a 1:60 scale carrier would be HUGE!

yeah, like 20 feet long huge. We researched doing just the island and part of the flight deck for dioramas. Still a huge model.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of an aircraft carrier that could be built out of 1-4 sheets of paper. Not more than, say, 18 inches in length. There are a LOT of nice ship kits out there, but not a lot of good warships that a 14-yr old could build! Scale to me isn't so much important as the fact that you could use it for diorama work - say in the background of the Dauntless or Zero.

I think ships would be great. I believe that some of the older vessels such as Civil War ironclads or gunboats from that area might be quicker to fabricate . Check out the Port Columbus Naval Museum website. They are rebuilding the Uss/Css Water witch sidewheeler. That would be a cool model...
