S&G: Smallest boat ever built...? *LINK* *Pic*

So I have more or less wrapped up my first design, and am hopefully going to start cutting out my panels tomorrow. Being that i was giving myself "the night off" from thinking about boat design, I figured to occupy my time, i'd cut out a small printout of the panel templates and see how well they go together. I must say, its a testament to the Stitch-and-Glue technique that even with the inaccuracy's of cutting these tiny pieces of paper out only ~7" in length, the thing still goes together and looks like my kayak design!

I'm thinking this may also be a good candidate for smallest kayak ever built with Stitch-and-Glue...? er, Stitch-and-tape. If I cover up the ends and put a fill coat of epoxy on this thing, it might make a great christmas ornament :)
