As is my way,
Setting aside considerations of "Real"
Focusing on "Practical"
I am currently using the Toran ship set because:
My visual limitaitons, (Retinitis Pigmentosa)
They are easy to see, (the color and size)
They are estheticaly pleasing, Nice Smooth Welballenced Curves, (no I'm not talking about a woman)
I like the Racial Portrait, (Maybe I envy the 3 eyes)
The ship set I am designing will take a while to complete.
I am buying / using 1/2400 scalle ships
I am trying to find ways to fasten various hulls to each other to create larger sizes.
When I am fished I will take photos and make BMPs
Wish me luck.
