That's really cool looking - it's actually got somewhat of a 'chibi' vibe to it, with the thick, compact hull and the tall control tower. The only thing I'm not really feeling is the large protrusion at the front - I can't tell if it's supposed to be a 'spine-mounted energy weapon' or just a bowsprit-like mast. I would try to add a bit more detail and variance in piece usage if it's to be a weapon - the other guns and basically everything else has so much more detail that I can't help but be disappointed by that one part which, unfortunately, is the largest eye-catcher.

Your disappointment is duly noted (about the 'protrusion'). While it was funny at an earlier time :shifty: , I concur it is now an annoyance. A Yamato-like gun would probably have made the front look better. Thanks for the comment!

For some reason the protrusion makes me think Flash Gordon and maybe David Lynch's Dune.

I really like the overlapping of the armor plating, like an armadillo...in space!

Your uses of black skeleton feet and arms for cannons and other weapons emplacements is also awesome.

Thanks for sharing.
