Hey Zac! I don't know how big you we're planning on going but I've found big
baseplates helpful. And as Ross suggested, a technic frame also works well
as far as sturdiness with the panel method Tim (T-Bird) described.

This is a pic of my carrier's main flight deck without the
baseplates--ignore the cat:

Notice the technic crossbeams and castle walls and BURPs that make up the
sides of the ship. My design is not as sturdy and "whooshable" as T-Bird's.
But it achieves my purpose of having a big ship to show off ;^) Have fun!
