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.
