Strangely, any submarines seem to work as well
this reminds me, would it be theoretically possible to dissassemble a real-life sub, get it in orbit, reassemble, stick spaceshuttle thrusters on it, and fly away to space?

if 20 chickens can fit in a brick, how many pingpongballs does a crocodile have to eat so it can swim faster than a washing machine?

The ship so far is three main colours: white, red and blue. At the front, on the cruise missile launcher I have SNOT walls, and further back I'm using basic briks. I'll put up a picture soon.

best not to have more than 2 colors unless you are using grays and black
I like to look my enemy in the face through a high powered sniper rifle 2 miles away

He's probably sensibly using the briks he has most of. I used to use every brik I could to make my ships.

What about white? You could probably pack 5 colors into a ship and have it look good.

White & Light Grey Hull, Blue Secondary, Black Greebles & Trans-Blue Windows.

yer the might work but you would have to keep the colors separate and cut them up using the black and gray

I have a little bit of greebling, I'm just getting used to it. I didn't know what it was until a few days ago. A fourth colour is white, which is most of the plates.
