I eman LARGER ;-) The BSB is 16 wide, and yes you got it, I'd like 24.
As I have posted before, I can't find a way to make a good looking ship
larger than three decks and four midsections, and the problem is the width.
At 16 studs, going beyond 4 midsections makes the ship seem too narrow (more
like a canoe than a ship). At 4 midsections, you can't go taller than three
decks without looking poorly proportioned. The Agamemnon
(http://www.hinet.net.au/~guinan/aga.htm) is about as big as I think I want
to go with 16 stud hulls.
I liked Dan Jezek's big ship (http://www.aloha.net/~danjezek/ship.html), but
I don't want to do all the rough stuff he had to do around the waterline to
get around being built on a too small hull. And I don't want to forgo the
hull pieces (Ben's World of ABS style
http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~rbeneke/lego/ben_abs.html)
I like the hulls, I just dream about having BIGGER ones!
