Check also the 'croiseur2.jpg' picture--that's a *very* fine ship,
IMHO, even if there's no new solution to the pixellation of bow
and stern (our perennial problem). I think the colour scheme is
quite effective, but I'd love to see a few more detailed pictures
of some areas, notably the midships region and the aircraft cata-
pult. Is it designed for minifig habitation?
I'd also like to see what sort of slopes Pierre used to define
hull curvature (steep, extreme steep, or none?)--pixellation or
no, it *is* the best-looking brick curve I've seen on a ship of
this size in a very long time.
I'm kicking around the idea of building a very complicated bow
next time around, with vertical pixellation but horizontal angling;
the issue will be how to fix it in position and not have it change
geometry, but I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.
best
