But I think that the Bird of Prey looks like a dick with wings lol Never was a fan of Star Trek.
Dunno though, now I'm self conscious about those rail guns. And if it's in fact a Wraith ship, I don't need them to begin with.

Do you think it'd look better if I dropped the rail guns? I've decided that it's Wraith now, hell it could be a Wraith/Earth hybrid, thanks to Todd stealing data from the Daedalus or something, I don't know.
The big rail guns were a different idea, but it doesn't exactly fit the Stargate universe.
I think that the shape and design of this ship would be much more suited to the Wraith.

also, it beats the crap out of the deadalus....
When dealing with things that long, designs like the Galactica, Star Destroyers or Hive Ships make a lot more sense. Not something with big wings jutting out for 5 kilometres.
HOWEVER, if I were to customize this for such a long ship, I suppose I could make the wings stubbier and stretch out the middle and rear to make the front of the ship not seem too huge.

I just wanted to say looking at that pic and the ones you've posted on the previous page that looks awesome.
What modeling software do you use and where can I get it?
Not so long ago I created a Human City Ship thread and I'd love to have a go at designing some of my own stuff, if you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

It's Lightwave 9. It's a rather expensive program, my friend had a copy of it and stopped using it, so let me have it.
I would recommend Blender. It is entirely free and from the looks of it quite a capable program.

Designing is really fun. I've always enjoyed drawing things as a kid, and this is taking it one step further. Good luck! If you need any tips, I can always try to help. But I still don't know much haha. Good luck!
