You'd probably have to use hinges along the hull to get the more rounded
hulls, which would make the construction somewhat more complex. You can only
bend LEGO so far....
I'd be interested to see Dan's ideas for big flared hulls though...

| (...) True. I've experimented with very wide (32 stud) SNOT hulls (both for a modern tanker and a 19th century ship), but traditional SNOT just can't do it well. I then tried building the bow studs forward (curving back), and the sides studs outward (...) (22 years ago, 10-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)
