A battleship for Neil

[jimmy olsen]

So Neil, why do you love battleships so much more than carriers? Is it the phallic symbolism inherit in the guns?

Because the dreadnought battleship was the apex of symmetrical, hierarchical naval warfare, which I find intellectually pleasing.  It is also the most important naval weapon of the late Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian eras, a period that I am interested in.

A much better answer than I was expecting.

I always knows the why behind my actions.

Yeah, but you often give ridiculous answers rather than serious ones.

Rarely when it involves dreadnoughts.

A lot of us "hardcore" LEGO MOC builders are also not adverse to painting parts or cutting them with an exacto knife, either.

Is there anything that you aren't into?
