It's quite impressive that you managed to put together a ship this large, and
that it can hold itself together. You deffinately have the engineering skills
down that will allow you to build some complex large ships. It's very boxy,
though, if you are working on another ship, I might suggest that you use some
wedges or slopes to break up the lines. Also, the turrets and radar dishes and
stuff all sort of look slapped on, it would be cool if you built them into the
ship more, either by having them pop out of hatches, if you want to keep the
simple shape, or by putting them into larger gun-emplacements. I am a believer
in the idea that a ship can be very bare on the outside and carried just by its
shape, but I think that requires a more complex shape, usually curves.

(URL) started construction of this ship in January (or maybe it was Decemeber, I don't remember which) of 2003, it took about 7 more months for me to finish the model. Eventually, it came out to more than 6 feet long, and weighed in at about 40 (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build)
