Construction Project help

My girlfriend and I have started a noble undertaking to build a drinking game.

It is a large scale battleship game wherein the ships are 18-20 inches in length and the game board is a massive 5'x10' fold up table.

we have already built one battleship as a test bed and it looks pretty good.

so far our idea is to build the ships out of wood. Pine hulls with balsa guns and superstructures. but the pine takes a while to cut and sand into a hull shape

main thing is keeping cost to a minimum.

object of the game.

the ships will hold shot glasses in place of peg holes.

When you get hit, you have to take a shot.

here is a pic of our first battleship. this was constructed as a proof of concept only.

any tips, ideas or suggestions? materials? size? look of the ships etc?
