Greetings:

Dig around for a Niven essay called "Bigger Than Worlds". I think it is in a
collection called "A Hole in Space", probably others. He details various
artificial worlds, from asteroid to Dyson Sphere, etc.

One of the worlds is a ramjet ring. More like an
O'Neil colony diameter, not a solar-system-spanning
Ringworld diameter. So your RW model could double for one of those ships,
making it more in scale with your FT minis!
