If you guys are having trouble with details, I would suggest buying (or mabey looking at screenshots online of) model kits. They can be great inspiration for greebling because all pieces to the models are in those "sheets" and they are not too expensive since you can go cheap if you are just using for greeble ideas. But it does really help to get the mind going. And of course, there are about 1000000000000 different kits.

MasterWong: Yea looks alot better, wouldnt you agree? You may also want to put some reflection planes in your scene because some of the edges get washed out now. (just put your model in a box of 6 black planes) Now you should add details. Engines, windows, antennas, sensors, DNGN pipes , etc. And whats an FA?

Lantean Canuck: Well dont you agree? I mean think about it. Big ships have alot more windows, panels/plating, sensors, etc.

Here is the start of a new ship from me.

Fenrir Class Patrol Ship.
The Fenrir is just a little over 50m long and weapon layout is still a wip.

Enjoy.
