Hmmm, looks like some classified material was leaked to the media... ;-)

Well, I did completely dismantle then rebuild the fore section of the grey
"carrier" differently because I wasn't happy with it. I don't think I'll
ever actually be dismantling them, though. Who knows, someday I may find the
time to adequately photograph them, too! Currently there be ships that need
buildin'.

Thanks. I feel a bit slack about not documenting these more fully, but then
building is more important. I have several more projects in early stages of
construction and have enough trouble finding time to work on those.

I don't think that I've built a capital ship yet - I consider even the
longest ones (~180 studs) to be frigates. I feel funny about calling my
'carrier' a carrier as the word suggest battleship sizes to me - my
'carrier' is just a frigate with a spine for 20 fighters... although it is
almost as long as Dan Jassim's 'Gibraltar'.
I'm planning to build some undoubtedly 'capital' ships like
battleships/battlecruisers, though - but I'll be going microfig scale.
They'll be between 70 and 100 studs, which is pretty big for microfig
(although it'll be small microfig, around 1/15th that of minifig). I might
make them even longer than 100 studs, if the gray doesn't run out! :-)
