Well hopefully a floaty thing.
But given where I am at.. I am not so sure


It sort of looks a bit more like a ship of the line from Star Wars.
However a few more terrestrial fitments and hopefully it works out

Looks quite simmilar :)

I say go where the muse takes you! As a spacecraft it looks darn good!

Righto, it sort of looks like I thought it might look, a next gen warship. Well sort of

It has rockets and guns and helicopters.







next is the application of liquid suspended pigments and then finally some etch.

Just amazing how smooth and polished it looks before paint!

Love the mods, especially the helo deck!

Looking a little sci-fi, which is far from being a bad thing! :)

Had not thought of that.. but now I am going with it.. great thinking !

So this is pretty much it




The Merlin is actually too big for the landing desk.. so it is cross-decking while the Chimera's <insert helicopter type> is out on another mission.
All in all, reasonably happy with that, considering it was just left over bits.

Wow did that finish up nice!

I really like the little details and it all looks so clean I'm sure you could convince someone it's really a kit.

Outstanding!

That's really cool! I agree with polygon, it'd be right at home in one of those magazines proclaiming "what warfare in the 21st century will look like"!
