Hopefully not at the same time.

You know, it would never have occured to me to do that, I would have spent
hours trying to squeeze them in for little benefit. I can see much merit in
you approach. Mentally noted should I ever build that big.

Thanks for the explanations.
I must say, though, that I'm a little baffled by the comparison with the
Yamato. Sure there are influences, and apart from some vaguley similar
features, the two are really not very alike at all. In fac the Dragonstar
has a lot more visual interest for me than the other . I guess that's nature
of the medium. traditional animation requires a certain simplicity of
design, whereas Lego models can be as detailed as you like.
I have one question: how big do you think you can go? (no snickering, you in
the back). I mean, you've got the talent, and a clearly prodigious Lego
supply - do you think you could go to 10 maybe 12 feet long (and
proportionally wide) ships?
Cheers,
