So how is this for looks?

[Andrew March]

Cool, keep at it.

[cavebear]

Thanks Andrew

Here is some colour.

[Monkey Boy]

Oh yeah, that's it, go with it.

cheers.

Finally starting work on the bridge module of my modular "train" ship.

The antenna farm on the bridge mod is coming along

So what do you all think??

[Berkut]

looks cool, love the modular ship too

I can't see any form of radar system though

I'll put something up on the bridge module as soon as I can. I was also thinking of putting together a more military module that would be like the Russian "Big Ear" radar ships used when they are launching manned rockets. Also extremely handy when spying on the west

[Monkey Boy]

Given that military vessels and even aircraft seen to be trending towards flat-panel, and conformal arrays, it would be unlikely to have radomes - but I do like the idea of the "Big Ears", like the old old war spy 'trawlers'

The antenna farm looks spot on!

cheers.

Did some work on some kind of flat panel array though the base is kind of a cop-out. Just a jumble of shapes. Did some more on the antenna farm and I like it. Added two arrays at the forward corners with identical textures as the first array located on the top of the module.
