The design……
What's built so far……
The model…..(yes, 52" long!!)
BUT - I have hit a brick wall for while now. After some discussions today, I will be dusting off and finishing it (God willing!). All I have to do, is overcome my frustration of how the back of the bridge should look……..
The link to WIP……

The ship and the bridge are awesome. But you can also make writings on screens.
How did you make a control panel?
Good luck and keep working!

Yup, the screens can just have decals on at the end though to be fair, once they are inside the bridge, that is just too much detail to worry about!
Part of the control panel is from a rhino or landraider. The other is from Ainsty or from Barrule - don't remember which, sorry.

No, the hangar can hold a valk or a pair of arvuses but no titan. Any bigger, she'd kill me.

Cheers fellas but I'd have nowhere to put it all!!
Anyway, too early to get excited, I haven't done anything on it in a while until tonight. I've started strengthening the inside of the box hull so I can glue the bridge piece into place.
I've also figured how to make the front and back look like they are part of the same boat by adding more chequer plates.

Awesome!, how about adding gothic filigree and gargoyles and statuettes on the hull?, not overdoing it, but subtle little bitz?

Not overly keen on gargoyles tbh. There will be some detailing such as cable conduits / pipes yet on the hull plus manouvring thrusters and a few other minor detail etc.
Biggest problem I will face is painting it - not my bag painting!
