Hi all,
The first pics are up at MOCpages. More will be added as the ship grows.

Ya know, this got me thinking. When you (the general everyone you) builds a
large ship, do you tend to make the interior first and then build the outside
to cover it, or do you build the exterior shell and then shoehorn an interior
into it? Or do you do it all concurrently?

I build from the ground up, therefore everything is integrated into each other
(the bunks built into the walls, chairs built into the floor, etc.). The major
advantage is increased structural integrity, I can easily pick up my ship from
anywhere and it won’t bend or break. The downside is that with everything built
into one another, it’s really hard to change some minor detail without having to
rip up half the ship (I learnt that the hard way when I wanted to change the
color of my bunks).
