I love your art, but if I remember correctly, you are the guy that  
thinks the original sizes as published in the canon materials are  
unworkable.  While they aren't perfect, I think they are much closer  
to some of the super-size ships I've seen in your deck plans (if you  
are the guy I'm thinking about).  I posted once my logic (as a  
submariner who knows how much you can do with a very small space and  
how much space you need for 120 men to live in) as to why I preferred  
the published sizes, but you never replied to my post.  So, while I  
love your work, it is not 'canon' as we've been saying on the list.   
Some of the external shots work, but even then, the overall scale is  
flawed when, for example, deck railings are sized according to your  
concept of reasonable, which are then off-scale for the published  
hull sizes (or tons).  If you aren't the guy using the wrong size  
scales, then I apologize.  For someone like me who wants to stay  
'canon' as much as 3e makes possible, it's a shame, because your  
designs are marvelous and in every other wise very true to form.
