I've been working on this ship off and on for a month or so. It still needs a lot of detail added to it but i figured i'd add it to the forums to see what everyone thought about it.

Nice gun mounts. When are you going to throw some textures on this?

Lookin' sharp, Chebar! Just out of curiosity, were you thinking big behemoth, or closer to corvette or frigate class?

I think if you put some tiny `dot` port holes/windows in rows down the side in a nice pale yellow it will add to the sense of scale! 😉

Add a `bridge` with lit up widows to help with sense of scale and scale down the huge gun. maybe a small fighter flying near to add to the over all feeling of size. 🙂
