Bog, starships is big! And that's only a DD - anyone want to tackle a
15mm
SDN?

I'm (sort of) planning a light/tramp freighter for 15mm - it sounds like
it's going to have to be a bit bigger than I was thinking... Having
peered
at teh Beowulf free trader map sheets from Steve Jackson, I'm thinking
of
cribbing parts of that design for a freighter. 

No actual plans as yet - then again, most of my large and/or interesting
projects have been started on the spur of the moment, with no blueprints
or plans whatsoever... Plus I'm in a clear-the-desk painting & modelling
mood, so I might as well clear the deck for something spectacular...
