My. That's magnificentulous. I bought a lot of red arched windows from
someone for my building purposes, but you're making me almost want to donate
them to the cause (note: almost). BTW, if you need to get more lattice red
arched windows, I am in the process of acquiring as many as 52, if they'll
knock down the price on 13 Misty Mountain Time Labs still languishing at about
$50 (29 quid) each.
That's going to be one magnificent ship. Those brown 2x4s really are making
good curvature.

A Guildsman? Tony, you're one of the Bricklayers or whatever?

You don't want to do that. The Great White Fleet's major accomplishment was to
give obnoxious American sailors access to ports around the world. Oh, yes, and
they burned a lot of coal. I can handle that last part, and I have *French*
sailors, who while obnoxious do at least try to keep to their own.

No, it wouldn't be hard at all. If you wanted to set up the shots, we could
email .jpgs to the spec and you could manipulate them/digitally merge the
images. When they're separate ships on a blue horizon, it wouldn't be too
difficult, I think--and I think we have the individual pieces needed to add in
characters where necessary on any given ship.
