Well, I had a SNOTty dort of brainwave -- all that hull building really
turned me sideways. I used to be a good old fashioned upright fellow
before... ever seen those explorien sets with big white half-dome walls? I
used trans-blue ones for the bridge glass of my space Supercarrier
Conqueror, and I had 4 left from another broken up Supercarrier to put to a
good cause.

Coming from the master, that's *high* praise :-)! I like the colors too,
though the truth is I only used them because I wanted to build an
experimental SNOT ship before I committed my gray. It was a Canopus or a
ship of the Great White Fleet, and I'm such an Anglophile... Pax Britannia!

Yeah, yeah. Coming!

A review, I think :-). Atlas is a specially adapted ship (details come later
on that), but she's still only a Pre-Dreadnought. 5-minute ships, don't they
say?
