An afternoons worth of distraction. I really like modeling starships.

In my opinion the fins make it look a little tacky, but I think it's better than that other human starship you posted. Nice work overall.

I agree that the fins could go. Other than that, I really like it.

Good.

I agree with the fins, if they contain lots of missile hardpounts (which is what it looks like) maybe they could bechanged to those missile launchers like on the B5 Warlock.

I'm usually a wings kinda guy, but the other guys are right: the fins are meh. Try sweeping them back to something in the region of 30 to 45 degrees leading-edge sweep.

I LOVE the engines tho. They're to die for. May i suggest you extrude the central two out slightly, maybe about a quarter of an engine diameter? Or try angling the peripheral thrusters outward about 5 or 10 degrees. Otherwise, she's a good ship!

Actually, it might work better to just reduce the size of the fins, like by about two-thirds.

The fins are for cooling both the engine and the large guns at their tips. I'll consider reducing their size and angling them.

I'd go against changing their angle.

Looks a bit like a Homeworld corvette.

Looks like the ship from Titan AE.

Do you have any good tutes that you could recommend so that I could give it a go?

Very impressive.
