Will do. You're right, this is a work in progress, and is only 3/4 done on
the exterior. More to come!

:-) I just finished posting some relies regarding the color scheme. I
guess that the color scheme of this ship (and my battle cruiser from
November) have greatly improved over previous designs, at least in
consistency. But I must admit that I have been forced into corner on that
one. I am trying to save as much blue as possible since it is my building
color of choice (check out my website). And blue is very rere these days
since TLC has stopped selling it in bulk in favor of green, tan and dark
grey. >:-( I am NOT happy about that, let me tell you!

I didn't think people would care much for that one! I through that ship
together in a few hours to show how a smaller ship would dock to my
destroyer. :-) Funny, but it's always the ship to the side that catches
the most attention in my experience. Like my MF175 freighter. I had no
idea that people would like it so much.
I'll post some pics soon. It's a small blockade runner/multi-purpose
vessel. The side modules (bunks, galley, cargo) come off for access,
revealing the central corridor. There is a gunner station and engineering
station over the central corridor, plus a universal docking ring to the port
and an escape pod to the starboard. The idea is that I wanted a simple
multi role ship that was not strickly a freighter, and could be configured
as a small hospital/medical evac unit, research. etc. The white SW engines
over the back end are the matter scoops (with ruby front), and right behind
them are the squat warp nacelles.
