And just to show how those little outlines help (I don't know how you ever came up with that, Masao, but it's a really nice trick).

I've adjusted the legs (they now go straight up).

BTW, any suggestions for a classname would be appreciated [Smile]

I'm not sure where I picked up the outlines from. I think they might have come from Ships of the Star Fleet or the TNG Tech Manual. They are especially useful when doing B/W schematics, which is how I started out.

I also thank you, since I nicked that trick too. [Wink]

As for the class name, when I was drawing up my take Cousteau-Class seamed to make the most sense.
If that doesn't strike you well then I would suggest something to do with famous explorers, Captain Cook, Columbus, Cortez...or their ships, I suppose (none spring to mind though).

Columbus had the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria, Cook had the Endeavour.
