why I stopped modeling aircraft and went to ships

Just thought I'd share a somewhat recent revelation I had concerning modeling ships apposed to aircraft. Recently, for what I thought was going to be just a one time deal, I picked up a ship from the local hobby shop (Dragon's H.M.S. Invincible) after spending less than 10 minutes looking over the thing I suddenly saw a ship as a mini diorama within itself. Aircraft just never looked right to me sitting on a shelf alone. I always had to put them in some frame of reference, I don't feel as much of a need to do this with ships - of course I will eventually try my hand at water modeling but even so, for your money, there just seems to be more possibilities. And furthermore - they just look right on a shelf --- those darn aircraft just don't represent as well! anyway I think I will try this ship modeling thing for longer than expected!
