Partially inspired by Mattias Mårtensson's USS Fletcher, and partly out of my
own curiosity to attempt a new ship-building technique, I threw together a 1/4
size version of the minifig scale Cleveland Class curiser I've been dreaming
about building (it's approx 1:152 scale as it is). Of greatest importance is
that I was able to successfully achieve the curve of the hull and deck without
any intrusive stepping of plates or bricks.  On  larger scale, I think this will
have an even better effect for flared bows, etc.  I just started working on this
a week ago, but I'm pretty excited about it's progress and can't contain myself
any longer!  I already have plans printed out for an even larger 1:128 scale
Iowa class battleship to work on next.  This may be direction Brickmania's WW2
kits will be going for 2004.  Watch out USS Constellation!

Feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!

Dan

check the photos (so far) here:

Innovation indeed Dan!!! This is amazing.  I don't know if it’s the pics
or the smoothness of the curve but I cannot tell how its done.  Please describe
it for us!!!
Thanks in advance.
David
