I don't know if they all do but I do know that at least a couple of the books have illustrations at the front of the book.

However, I'm sure there are even more & better on the interwebnet.

THAT'S IT... I'm taking up knitting! :)

Simply wonderful work, it has just the right mix of "Tired, but still proud" to go with your backstory.

The deck lighting is subtle, but much more I think would remove the scale effect..

A thought for future works...

How about a small painted area around the deck lights, just a light wash to suggest the spread of the lights. The tiny point sources can't illuminate their surroundings the way a full scale light would, but maybe a tiny splash of paint could simulate that effect. Just a thought.

Thanks very much guys,  :) I thought this build had past its use by date now.
It didn't do as well at Expo as I was hoping for, but to be honest, I'm not worried.

SilverFox, that's a great suggestion actually and one I'm going to take into account on the triple decked carrier which is my next project after the BR52. I'm also going to use larger fibers for the deck lighting so they throw out more light but yet stay in scale. Speaking of which, I need to order some shortly

Thanks again fellas
