[GZG] Models of asteroid ships

Some creative type has put together two ships built into asteroids

http://www.starshipmodeler.org/gallery10/pb_020906_asteroid.htm

and put them up on Starship Modeler

I shared the pic of these with my group and Scott Saylors asked:

I gotta question.

Anybody seen any rules or models for the David Weber "Ashes of Empire" series?
In it the moon turns out to be a relic warship named "Dahak" whose computer
has
become self-aware.So the ship IS the moon, called a planetoid class
warship. In the further books there are even bigger warships like it to oppose
a sweep of the evil Ach'ULtani race with a million warships, none anywhere as
big as Dahak, of course. Really good books.

Fun books, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the top. I'd adapt the Saganami
Island Simulator missile rules, the Ashes series has missile combat a lot like
the Honor Harrington series, so it should be a pretty simple project. Do the
movement, work out the missile values and damage allocation sheets and you've
got it. Write it up, Ken can put it in Nexus (once the lawyers get through
with it).

Here's a model of the Dahak, with base :-)

*******Haven't read them myself but Scott raves over them.......) I'll pass on
your thought.

********Almost scale with Jon's ships too, well if you close one eye and
squint a bit.......)

Thanks

Anybody read Perry Rhodan? When I encountered Weber's
aging-empire-with-humans-taking over I had a case of
deja vu.

Hmmm...Full Thrust with Perry Rhodan...
