Thats the great thing with the modular prows, it'll also allow me to do House/chapter/clan/etc themed prows.

Thank you!!!

In the meantime...

The escort sized carrier is ready. Do you have any feedback before I ship it off?

Length wise it's more or less the same as the Panthera Heavy Frigate, it's just a lot narrower though.

Thing is that the station itself is fully finished. I just need to chop it up in a few pieces to make it easier to cast, still waiting for instructions from our caster regarding how he wants that.

In the meantime I've also started working on something smaller (thank for the inspiration Osjclatchford!):

Haven't thought of that yet. I need to see how GW did that with the original models.

Those small ships remind me of those ones I made out of bits... Rather nice them. Indeed You'd need something small to base them on like the copper roofing nails I use... Gw simply supplied them without stands...
