Glad to help a fellow minifig Capship builder! We're a dying breed, I think,
or at least not as numerous as microfig builders.
Actually, I've chosen not to use slopes for the look of the ship -- I'm one
for right angles, though I don't know why. I find using curves on the front
of a box lessens its impact though, and pirate hulls are great for this. If
you have any, or anything pre-curved, you might try mounting it on the
front. Saves parts and lessens the box.
Thanks again for the feedback, good to have a dialogue on here!

| I like right angles too. =) However, other people just don't seem to appreciate right angles anymore, what with all their fancy schmansy slopes and curved bricks! =) The truth is that I'm too broke to buy slopes, so I just buy a lot of basic (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)
