Battlestar Hangar Bay & Launch Tubes

This is one I've been working at off and on for a month or two now, but it's not finished by a long shot.

I was rebuilding my dockyards model when I realised I needed some bays for shuttles and raptors to be stowed away in, so it made sense to base them on the ones that battlestars have. And then I completely forgot about the shipyard and concentrated on making this an accurate model in its own right. Well that's the goal, anyway. I've gone through a whole lotta references to make sure I'm getting things right, but it's my first major model, so at the same time I'm learning how to do some of the basics.

Very impressive, I don't think anyone would be able to tell that it's your first major model. What software are you using?

That is some really neat work, I love the spaces. It looks a lot like the Bays on the Galactica. In the first image, shadows on the floor seem to get lost but looking at the rest of the shots I got an impression of the floor surface and it almost looks too smooth. very nice work . .

Man, this is just awesome. This is the kind of thing I love to see. The modeling is clean, and the lighting is also great. Keep it up!

very cool work here.
