  I see it in the bow lines, primarily.  Hey, if the technique works,
  it works!  :)  I'm really interested in that superstructure construction,
  though.  That looks *really* interesting from afar.

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.


  I do like those lines.  Very, very nice.  The color scheme is also
  excellent--I go for dour grey, but there's something about Victorian
  dreadnought brass-and-black that's just extra-neat.

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!

  Details, already!  Let's see details!

Yeah, yeah. Coming!

  You know, if we build enough of these things, between you, me, and
  maybe Richard (where's that HMAS Australia awreddy?) we can have a
  really nice Spithead Naval Review.  Or a duel.  :D

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?
