I started a model of the Swedish Ship Wasa about 15-18 years ago, placed it on hold for 10-12 years and recently started again. I now have the deck and hull almost complete. There are about 1000 parts so far assembled. I still have the masts, spars, deadeyes, pulleys, sheaves, standing and running rigging and all the ornamental details to do. That's another 1000 parts, so I'm about half done. The finished model will be about 32" long, 18" high and 9" deep.
So scrolling is very useful in constructing many of the parts. However its a different style as some of the material is only 1/32" thick (0.03" or 0.8mm). And some of the parts are pretty small. The first picture is the Wasa as it is today. The second picture shows the small parts I have to scroll as compared to a dime. These are also 1/32" thick. I have had to adapt to very slow speeds, absolute zero clearance table top, careful slow feeding and learning how to cut fragile, small pieces, all the while keeping fingers just clear of the blade. It has been and continues to be an interesting experience.
