    Another noob here,

    I know that there are ton's of Blue Prints out there for ships, but how about CAD designs? I will have a 3d printer in the next couple of months and I want to get back into this hobby. I also do not have much space to work with wood, so my alternative is a 3d printer to print up the ribs and the structure. (I mainly bought it for my RC aircrafts to quickly get back up in the air.)

    Prox, you're in a sweet spot... Battlers Connection is just to the south of you (Orlando area), along with a great bunch of guys (Don Cole, Rick King), and Georgia is a hotbed of action (Statesboro & Atlanta, primarily) with even more awesome and very helpful types (Clark Ward aka "Tugboat", Brian K, etc). Keep an eye on scheduled events and come by for inspiration & advice!
