Actually, it would be nicer if this kind of discussion happened in public
(i.e., one of these forums). I'm quite the novice builder when it comes to
larger things (hell, I'm quite the novice builder, period).
I wouldn't mind seeing pics and reading other peoples do's and don'ts, tip
and tricks, spams and non-spams, blacks and whites, etc. on building large
ships.
I have a hanker for a hunk'r to build a large vessel at some point, but have
limited time now. Any guess work I don't have to puzzle out over it
translates into more direct building time (not to say I don't enjoy figuring
things out on my own, I just don't have the time).
Thanks
-Evil Wayne
