MV-AC Heracles

@Dallidas: Indeed, it was too fat. I thinned down the landing pad to an acceptable level and still thick enough for the sliding of the airlock doors.

@Tinukedaya: Indeed, i cut the door in half and they just fit. Well, actually the aft bit just doesn't by a meter but the corners pop out neatky between two supporting struts so that gives me a perfect excuse to give it a real industrial look with lots of girders to show the space for the sliding baydoor.

@Freak: the CIWS are on the to do list, first I want to take care of the biggies before tackling the smaller guns.

.....
..... so your launching from a standstill? Because those don't look viable under maneuvering or accelerating.

[Freak]

That landing pad is looking much better.

[Meph]

If you're refering to the two extending booms, that's just to guide them on exit of teh hull. The tube inside the hull has 4 arrays for launching so then the fighter gets held in place by 4 opposing artificial gavity or electromagnetic arrays.

That is looking sweet mate

[Meph]

Thanks I-D

I've started detailing the launch section, the mesh errors still need cleaning though...

[Berkut]

that looks amazing. Very nice lighting.

Is it just me or does it look like some of the antennas in the cluster on the front look like they're floating around?

[liam887]

what can i say...amazing! its nice to see you reusing this model for another purpose

[Freak]

I love that last Pic, would look really good in a scene.

[Meph]

Thanks guys!

@Berkut: That's just a hallucination The floating parts are acrually attached to a main antenna ising copper struts, but because I'm rendering with a black background, the copper is very very dark in some places.
@liam887: And I've got at least one other version is store for when this one's finished
