Got it in one!

And to be different (and using K.H.'s method)

Go vertical (aliens especially) on a stand
O = 6mm round bead
o = 4mm round Bead

Last three show relationship to stand...

Corvette = o

		 o
Frigate = o
		 
Destroyer = O

etc...
for carriers build horizonal with vertical extension for hanger bays...

Use plastic, wood, metal (pricey,) Stone (cheap to pricey with cheap not
color fast over time,) glass (don't drop!)... spindle, oval, round,
square, rectangular, about 30 other basic shapes including a plastic
bead
that resembles a cluster of frog eggs in a circular mass, and 'bead
angel' bodies  that are faceted pear shapes.  Lots of potential (I make
bead jewelry so I get lots of ideas...)
