That's right! Actually, I had to really laugh when I read this, because I first
took it as "use the ship's wheels as large wagon wheels." (clunk clunk clunk
clunk) However, I've used alternate ship's wheels for smallish housings--my
Destroyers use two very old red cogs from an ancient motor set. They come out
pretty well, IMHO. I'll have to try the wagon wheel thing, though...
My very first "ship," btw, was built on three 20x10 plates (one blue, one green,
one red),
and for a "wheel" it used a large steel-axle spoke 2x2 wheel with a 6-wide
tyre...so very playground it was! ;)

Didn't that used to read "still baldly going?" I always thought it was a humorous
statement on the folicular affliction I seem to have. :)
obNeatThingsI'mGettingAndDoing: I won a couple of eBay auctions, and I'm getting
an Imperial Flagship hull and a Caribbean Clipper hull to add to the BSB hull I
got last week and the RBR I have awaiting assembly in the basement! :) Things
are looking pretty darn rosy for my retro-shipbuilding. In related news, I'm
considering beginning a first-generation European ironclad (a la the French ship
Gloire, c. 1860, and HMS Warrior a year later). However it may be mostly black so
I'm not sure how it will photograph...
