This is very exciting indeed, but maybe I am getting my hopes up - I hope not.

I've actually started one of those projects. I have a hastily-created 4000-4500 old-fashioned merchantman that I made by simply enlarging the coastal merchant model.
According to my calculations the new unit is about 350-375 scale feet long - roughly appropriate for a vessel of that tonnage. I got the model to show up fine in wings3d; the only problem is that the game failed to detect the 3d modification. I'm going to download the latest version of the tool and try again.
