Thanks' for all the responses. I think I prefer the fore-aft bicorn, though
as someone said they can be hard to come by (I still need one for my Harbor
Sentry). I think I'll reman my second BSB as a ship of the English Navy with
this system and see how it looks. (I still don't have a Imperial ship, just
the 2 BSB's and tht RBR)
