Fun little exercise. Here's my version of the ship generator, attached.

I didn't get the cockpit designs "right" in the way Bollinger did, but 
tried superimposing a smaller ship design atop a larger one to get a 
two-tone effect (not seen in that shot).

I tried rotating a ship to build a list of rotated images, but the 
rotated versions are often larger than the original, making it hard to 
figure out where to place them. How can that problem be addressed?
