I've finished with the modeling and placement of turrets (each weapon type has its own model) and the necessary hull modifications to mount them. As you can see from the first image I've started detail-box greebling.

I'm not very good at it though, mainly because I can't seem to create objects 'on' a polygon in Blender. Max had the AutoGrid function, which I'm looking for here and can't find.

I have yet to see where you're 'not very good'. But I trust you.

 
I'd love to help you out with the greebling and finer details...  :nod:

Looking great so far! :)  :yes:

Question: Are thoes window rectangles in the recess parts I see? If so, I'd rather have them not shown on the model and taken care of with normals. Would reduce your poly count and be easier for the textureurs. If they are something else, then ignore this message!  :D
Got Shivans? The SOC Ezechiel is the schnitzel! Don't leave base without it.

Personally I like the recessed parts and think they should stay.

Is this style/level/scale of greebling OK? I haven't really done this before. I think if anything it's inconsistent... but then greebles are supposed to be varied...

Anyway if someone wants to point out which style of greebles I should do more of and which I should drop, please do so.
