Haha! Sounds like a challenge! <grin> Well, even if not meant as such, I
shall do my best. I may talk faster than I build. And I may build faster
than I can photograph & scan. But one way or the other, I shall deliver
onto you that which you ask. I declare that I shall have quality photos of
my starships and updated webpages regarding such, and they shall be made
available to this community no later than the last day of this month.
So shall it be done. :)

Yeah, I don't have a six-digit income either, which is partly why my option
for photography is not quickly remedied (i.e. no digital camera, and what
some think is inexpensive for cameras is indeed too much for me). I only
have a lot of elements to work with because I have been slowly collecting
for over 24 years without any Dark Age.

I look forward to seeing your final design. I find the tubs are the
cheapest way to dramatically increase your piece-count. They don't offer
much for specialized space elements, but they can be invaluable to have the
base pieces to give form and structure to a model.

Yes. I have the same habit of making long, usually linear ship designs.
I've tried to make a few that are wider than long, but it is a tough habit
to break.
Good luck!
