Mmmmmm is right! My only question is: Is that frame to be
incorporated in the actual ship? If so, how? You did mention
that its actual width will be 2x what's in the picture--but
does that mean that the ship will be stouter (which it in fact
was) or is the slope pretty much set?
The hardest part about this building method is the obnoxious
33/16.5 degree split. If you want 22 degrees, it's back to
the pixels (or ex-low-slopes, if you're flush with those).
That turret looks excellent--my only question is, can you
"barrelize" the gun any more, or are there not enough 2x2
cylinder bricks about? Or do you just not want to (which
is OK too, like you needed *my* clearance...heh)?

Are you implying that purist LEGO warships are prone to massive
explosions? :D

Yes, this one could be patterned after a splitting wedge. :)
Bow flare is REALLY hard to manage, which is why I've hung
about pre-1930 thus far.
