Hmmm.  It didn't do *that* in the preview...

Still, this version might be easier to read.

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 ;-)

Still baldly going

(...) Hmmmm.... keep going down that path and you'll eventually be able to eliminate LEGO-like bricks from your designs entirely.... (But the possibilities are very interesting, nevertheless!) Horoo Richie (22 years ago, 15-Dec-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
