Something boxy like the front module of the UN frigates is fairly easy to assemble. Main job would be the design of the things, though even that is not hard for some body with paper model experience. Origami anyone? Greetings

On the other Spelljammer had cardboard ship models which were normally side views with with a top view insertedto make a cros from in front, if that makes sense.

The others were more detailed side-on views with a built in folded base, and usually some slot in bits for horizontal sections (wings, legs, etc.) <sheepish>I've actually still got a lot of these</sheepish> Hmm.. anyone out there know of a spelljammer/full thrust write-up :-)

Come to think of it...the boxed edition of "Crimson Skies" had paper aircraft. (Horizontal counters with vertical bits or vice versa...) The die cutting was so bad as to almost make them worthless. (Tho' I did have the thought of scanning the sheets into a graphic software, and re-drawing the cutting lines...)

Linking it to level (IIRC) of the spellcaster driving it is a mechanic that wouldn't translate well to FT. Maybe as an RPG-tie-in. . .

*** Well, I did have thoughts about using the Sa'Vas'Ku drive system, and treating the mage as a power generator - ok, that means that higher level mages take up more room, this is ok, as it means either: a) A higher level mage insists on a larger stateroom, and has more personal servants. or b) A higher level mage is a lot fatter ;-) *** My experience with D&D magic was very limited and a long time ago, but I seem to recall there being requirements for documents and material substances. Eye of bat, snood of Helen, and that sort of thing. Makes sense for a) AND: c) more spell books/scrolls and thaumaturgic supplies.
