| | | How extensively do all of you plan your vessels before you commence with construction? Personally, I usually do a small doodle or just start building before making a ship of less than 120 studs. When the ships are larger than that, I generally do a (...)

| | | | | (...) I get an idea for a ship, then I think about it for a few days or weeks, before putting any bricks together or putting anything on paper. I found the best time for this "mental review" is on the Metro ride to work and laying in bed before (...) (21 years ago, 5-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)

| | | | (...) For larger MOCs, I usually think of a small idea, like a cargo bay, or a door, or something like that, and then I mentally build a ship around the idea.
