Being close minded is a lot worse bro. Just saying.

Chamfered boxxys are ok as long as they're still boxxy.

Actually that thing looks a lot like a TC-Meson Bomb.

It depends how curvy it ends up to be. The Arcadia is also FS1 era, and we were pretty happy about that one being roundish.

As long as the thing doesn't look Vasudan by the end of it, I don't think I would have a problem. (However, I still like the old, boxy look that comes with the Fenris/Leviathan, but that's just me, and I like my nostalgia glasses a lot.)

 
Not sure what all the hubbub is about, it really doesn't look all that curvy. Once the fore and aft sections are applied they will break up that egg shape. There isn't enough model yet to get your panties in a twist. Let the man work.

The Medusa was relatively "cury" and it ended up looking extremely Terran, the Valkyrie has always been curvey and looks Terran. As long as he doesn't model the Feviathan to look like a Vasudan or Shivan ship (and Hades has been demonstrating some exceptional ability lately) I think we shall all survive.

It was cury? I thought it was a bit too spicy...

My first reaction was to wonder whether or not we needed another iteration of the Fenris/Leviathan as opposed to some other model, since I think the current models still look pretty damn good all things considered.  But then I realized that, with this recent super-influx of new models, there really aren't many completely-untouched ships left, so why not revisit one of the older models?  If nothing else, I'd like to see Hades' own take on it. :)

I dont think you did yourself any favours with the angles of the shots, they make the model look more rounded that they are on first impression.

As for the chamfered edges i agree with droid that they in themselves are not a problem, the issue i can think of is that to achieve a consistent look you will have to use it for most of the hard edges and personally speaking some of the hard edges are part of the defining features of the hull so i would recommend being careful in how you apply them

It looks promising, although I'd rather see Deimos finished. Leviathan/Fenris (it'd be weird to remake only one of them) currently look good compared to the old Deimos.

Actually, my plan was for the Leviathan to look similar, but yet vastly different. It'd be the same basic chassis, but hugely upgraded and unarmored, which was what the Leviathan was to the Fenris.

The idea with the layered-armor-look is good and I like the hexagonal(ish) cutouts a lot. But IMO you should keep the at least the original side profile with the sharp angles on the tower, since it's really one of the most recognizable visual features of the original. As it is now, it looks way to much like an armored football.

Imho fenris/levi should be as simple as humanly possible, because they were mass produced and quite rushed into service. Built in the time of war, same as Orions, remember? Boxes! Unlike the Hecate or Mentu which had time to be designed (and have failed to do their job accordingly, but that's something different :P).

also the leviathan was a refit/redesign of the Fenris years after the Fenris was put into service.

detailing is largely incomplete and there's still a lot to do, front is mostly incomplete
