But the problem is that for something like, say, a ship, you have a
definate idea of how to start, you know what a ship looks like, has in it,
etc. But in space, you have to make up a new idea, and proceed along it,
which can be difficult. It seems like many ideas are already taken. And
another problem I've found is that people rarely ever reply to a small ship,
(unless you're a famous builder,) and I just have a twelve year old's
collection, because I_am_twelve!
Ah well, and idea will eventually come...
