Hmmm, Paul's comments on the poor reception for Shadowcore Prime started me thinking - what about the idea of collecting pre-orders for WW models before starting work on them?
It may give an inkling of how much of a market there is for a given product. For example, I would love it if Pall made a Chinese junk. and I might blow the horn and beat the drum, but what if every one doesn't share my refined tastes?
An announcement might be made, an account set up for preorders, and when enough people decide that they really want a junk to face off against the Maiden then Paul (or Denny, or CapnG) can start designing the models. (Perhaps preliminary work can begin when half the number is reached, and pretty pictures made as the work continues.
Having a dedication page thanking the folks who pre-ordered the set might be good too.
The Auld Grump, who likes Shadowcore Prime, Skull Cove, and Arena Works.
*EDIT* And of course there is also a junk in Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
