I am building the heavies.  Mine has four 360 range L&S cannons and various

w/modifications) are assembled and awaiting orders...

I don't have anything with that kind of armament, but the "concept ship" • Marathon
still had a nice bit of punch.  (four spots with 360-degree coverage?  without
shooting the ship they're on?  I'd like to see that, it must be some • layout!)  I
have some pictures, at:

The big bummer is that (again) they're black and white images; but the trans • is
all fluoro-green (with a tiny bit of yellow) and the hull is all black, white,
and grey.  It had a nice vehicle bay and a working ramp.  I outfitted it with
sixteen crew and six marines; amazingly, they had enough space to sleep in • three
shifts, and eat in three shifts.  However there was only one toilet, one • shower,
and one sick-bay bed...but three bridges (science, tactical, and main, the • last
being a nice transparent square at the front).

So bring those marines on!  ;)

Very nice!
The trouble that I am having is how to keep mine from becoming the "Rainbow
Warrior".  I really don't want to have more colors that black, grey, blue and
white, but I may have to bite the bullet there.  I noticed that you used the
Insectoid bug eyes on the communications/sensor tower, I am using them for
shield projectors at key points around the ship.  After all is done it
*should* look like a cross between a Seawolf class US sub and an M1 tank with
four turrets.  Communications/sensors are recessed and shielded to protect
them from the blast of the main guns.  Question:  Do I have room?  Dunno...
Have a happy day,
Have a Happy Meal!
