Over in http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/clone-brands/, there's a heads up
about a new MB line, which I won't talk about, beyond noticing that it
includes a largish hangar, with a curved card roof. Thinking about this
lead to some musing:
> The hangar roof looks like a card, which is a pity - in plastic, it would be one hell of a starship hull section ;-) Mind you, if Lego can use printed fabric roofing sections, I guess we're allowed to use painted card. I had never thought of this before. Build the ship's skeletal structure with MB (or even Lego ;-), and then clad large sections of it with (perhaps curved) card, attractively printed using your trusty colour printer and some self adhesive labels. Too cool. I might finally be able to build a decent carrier! I can think of half a dozen people who might be able to use this technique to turn small collections, light on for plates, into starship construction yards...
As time permits, expect to see a Port Block Yards freighter on this design ;-)
