A couple things:
- use of trans stuff and levers for guns.
- years old? It would have had to have been that far ahead of it’s time to still be in service. Think of how quickly technology changes. 50 years maybe, but not 200.
- needs more surface texture. Pizza boxes can be made to look interesting.

p.s. Are you an O-scale fan, perchance (the 1/48 reference)?

The Republic of Crannis (not a long A-sounding word) is one billions of years
old (yes, not possible, but they come from another dimension). After conquering
numerous sectors and galaxies, they became too powerful, thus focused their
research on more important things.
The Memphis is not just one ship, they have about 1000 or so Memphises. The
fact that it’s been around so long is because they’ve defeated everyone who’s
ever bothered them and conquered enemy lands, and have no threat.
Also, the Memphis is a state-of-the-art ship. Terran Armadas will have a hard
time trying to take out one fleet of Memphises, never mind the entire Naval
force (including other ships). Temporaral weapons, thousands of years of
technology, etc.
In reply to your “greeblies” suggestion--the Crannians like to have nice, clear,
clean ships. However, I will add some more to it. Various coolant vents,
comms arrays, solar arrays, sails, etc. will be added eventually.
I use microfig scale as my modeling scale for capital ships and space stations,
minifig for fighters, ground vehicles and bases, and anything else.
Thanks for the reply!
