That's a pretty sweet design. Good job!

The front and rear turrets, IMHO, need to have their mounting points altered. I mean that they should not have a custom shaped hull plate that they are mounted on, at least not if you want to keep in line with the way   designed things...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

*shrug* I modelled it that way because it looked better that way. There really isn't any reason NOT to have the turrets on fitted mounts, and it makes the ship's lines a lot smoother than they would be otherwise. Following V's design strategies is fine until it'll make my model look uglier =P I admit the turrets arent so great, but they're only temporaries so I could get a preliminary render up. I'll have to redo them anyway when I get to skinning and converting it, but the turret shapes aren't really that important anyway. Its definately true that all the side turrets are too big, but the big flak guns are just about right, I think, compared to the big turrets on a Deimos. They ARE Heavy flak, after all, not the smaller Standard Flak from an Aeolus, so they need bigger turrets.

I think this model looks great! Are you making it to release it to the public or as part of a campaign? I think it looks like a Fenris/Leviathon Mk2 cruiser...

Great Stuff!
