[GZG] Toying with UNSC modeling

Hi all,

One of the things that I liked about the UNSC ships was that they were made of
modular components. I just had some issue with some of the estetics. I've
finally sat down at my table again and started dabling. I have some prototypes
up on a gallery to look through right now and I'd appreciate some feedback.
They're pretty rough, just setup for basic layout.

There are two different setups for the fighter bay setup. A 6 launcher base
and a 3 launcher base. The 3 launcher base can be stacked two deep as you will
see in the photos to make a larger bay configuration.

I'm still having a problem trying to get a decent curve to the styrene for the
ring on the wings. I've experimented with heating it against a cylinder but
had some issues with over heating it and having it warp. If anyone has some
suggestions I'd appreciate it.

me, those look really cool. I hope your work out the styrene issue because it
really is a nice look. If you can't crack it, could it also work with straight
struts?

I could try making them hexagonal instead of curved. That might work.
It would be easier to manufacture at my current skill level ;-)

It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if
it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.

Perhaps, there could be a few details to add to the straight struts to keep
them from looking too...well flat..
