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!
