Looking at the model from above, I'd try "pinching" the neck (ie; narrow it) about 2/3s of the way down. Or something along those lines atleast

Get rid of the penis head bow, and put something blockier, IMHO.


 :lol: :lol:

That´s good advice, UnknownTarget!! Maybe you should take it yourself, with "The Venture". The bottom left picture looks a lot like someone´s genitalia!
:D :D

Ho, ho, ho, to the bottle I go
to heal my heart and drown my woe!
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
and many miles be still to go,
but under a tall tree I will lie!

Um, it's not. I haven't finished the mesh yet! ;)

Currently adding the bottom engine pod and superstructure...

Eh? The superstructure - the bits that aren't the main hull. The bridge, the conning tower, etc.

Small (or not so small) update. I've decided to change the design somewhat around the stern. I couldn't get the engines to look right in separate nacelles, so I'm changing it to having engines at the rear of the main hull, behind the main superstructure. I'm going to put sticky-out-things on the sides instead, quite low down, with all kinds of gubbins on them.  There'll be some more deck detail down the flanks, now that there's more space to fill, and plenty more sensor booms and things underneath.

As you can see from this picture, I've added a hangar to the underside of the ship. It's quite unusual, in that it's split into two by the keel, but there is a gap that you can fly through. I thought that was a pretty cool touch - you've got a big hangar, but there are two sort of launch ways, one down each side of the keel.



Also, I've put in some basic superstructure underneath the ship. It's not quite there yet IM, but I'm getting happier and happier with this model the more I do to it!

The second picture shows a left elevation of the ship as it is now. This is just to give you an idea of the new profile - please ignore the very back, as it's not done yet. I've got to add the engines to the back, hence the big missing bit. There'll also be the aforementioned "sticky-out-things" on the side, about level with the bridge tower.



Stay tuned for more updates shortly. As always, comments and critique welcome. :)

EDIT: note that the first pic shows the ship split in half. This is because I'm working on one half and mirroring, and I couldn't be arsed to do a proper tidied-up version for the sake of a few quick screencaps. ;)

They aren't there yet ;)  The bit circled is where they're going to go, but I haven't started them yet.

since you are drawing inspiration from BFG, try the little wing dealies?

keep the nacelles, just don't put engine nozzles in them
