If your collection doesn't stretch to an American size you're probably
contimplating something along the size of
Richard Parson's Saucy Slayer

(warning, Richard uses Megabrickium in his hulls...)
Richie Dulin's Wasabi

or for something a little different, Pete White's Brikiney Spears Tourbus

All are examples of brick-building mentioned earlier. My own ship isn't
featured in the list since I haven't any pics to show off yet. It's
somewhere in size between the Slayer and the Wasabi.
I worked by having a general idea of the size and shape I wanted, building,
rebuilding and rebuilding again. Don't worry if it doesn't whoosh the first
time through, each rebuild is a lesson in making LEGO(bricks) work together.
