I hadn't though of that.  I was thinking posterboard with bits added on
like piping and such to look suitably cluttered.  The resin idea has
much more merit...

Yep...	Oh boy, time to place that order to Micro-Mark...

Certainly.  Now I just need to start working on some floor-plans. 
Before that, I guess I've got to figure out what has to actually fit
into the hull.

Agreed, though it would probably be easier to make a single level ship. 
If I even do build something big like a destroyer, I'll have to find
some way of staking them and then unstacking them as peopel climb up and
down between levels.
