Modeling Challenge Thread

yea, i might participate.

Bob, perhaps the next challenge should be ground base?

Very interesting semmer, i'll have to think about it, but thats in a month so we'll see

My current progress I've got a 302 bay, medical center and beam tech dry dock. Oh and just to say the ship is built into a shell by the beams slowly and then filled with air so they can beam a crew onboard to do the work.

ill have try this isn't very stargaty yet but ive got basic shape for the hull (slightly iregular 14 sided sping top like shape and a pretty flat top) a hangar with docking bays two big four small
also a tower with a big dome 10m radius and three docking umbilicals for large craft.

Spoiler:

Im planning to add more interiour some wepons emplacements maybee a gate room that opens to space and some more towers on top coms comand maybee a large botanical dome.

anyone got messures on some typical SG ships so i can build the rest of the hangar stuff around them

thank you

Update on my model, I think that this is the full model, I don't know if i'm going to add some other sections or not. Remember I'm not competing against you.

It's not how many, it's where. The geometric structure of the current design trend means you have wides covereage at vertices, you're biased towards the top surfaces.

I haven't started the bottom. And I like the top surfaces, but that doesn't mean that other faces are getting shafted protection wise.

Toms the expert in picking out gun placements. You know, because hes been in the military and has experience fighting space aliens in space.
