Well, once Patrick is game for it, IMHO it's officially sanctioned! ;) Would you
be interested in hosting such a thing, even if there are no prizes? Or should we
keep it within the confines of lugnet.space postings and individual sites? I'm
just thinking about the former considering the magnificent job you did with the SW
Design Contest.
I'm definitely interested, but I won't be doing much large-scale building until
after the holidays. However, I just found a bunch of 6979s pretty cheap (see
b-s-t, I'm selling some of them to help finance mine) so I can light interiors and
use the undecorated UFO panels at last!

I always forget about the width of the wall bricks, and the need to reinforce,
reinforce, reinforce! Sag is my greatest foe--ships must be liftable by one
person, even if un"whoosh"able.

Now that I'd love to see. Were you thinking of using the large dome sections as
hull?

Hey, I've been putzing around with those for years now, and I still can't find much
use for them other than tank glacis plates. When you find a good use for them, let
me know! (Blatant plug for someone to spawn a new thread..."Using Useless Space
POOPS"?)
