Hello All,
It all started by buying a Navy carrier model so I could use all of
the
small airplanes and helicopters for use with DS2/BT. Then I turned the
hull
over and placed part of the bridge on top. The hull is about 16 inches
long.
Hmmm. Than I started to put various bits and pieces on it. After
buying a
battleship model I put some turrets and small anti-aircraft guns in
various
places. With lots of antennae and nifty bits attached it started to
look
more and more like a space vessel. I used the hangar elevator openings
as
unloading doors adding ramps and cranes in appropriate places.
Now all I need to do is work out some type of landing gear for this
monster. It is supposed to be a small/medium space ship with landing
capabilities to disembark troops. First thought was to just say it
landed
on the bottom side of it hull but this just looked like a ship laying
around. Any type of gear that lifts the entire body off the ground
looks a
bit odd.(that is a lot of tonnage to be up in the air) Any hints or
suggestions for additional modifications would be appreciated.
Once completed it should make for a very interesting center piece
for a
DS2 scenerio. My only big concern is that people don't look at the thing
and
think "Look its a capsized boat". If it turns out I will have a large
cruiser type ship to make out of the battleship hull.

PS soon to be in Okinawa Japan for 4 years. Wouldn't happen to be
anyone in that area that plays? Quite the long shot I am thinking.
