Well the designer of this ship wanted a small change made to the ship. He decided he wanted a small weapons bay to drop out of the bottom of the ship so after a minor modification I started on it.

So, is that like a turret? Nice idea, cute little ship.
If you put the two images up in separate tabs and flip back and forth between them really fast, it’s almost like an animation of the weapons pod lowering and raising. 😀
Nice work, bro, though I question the design. It doesn’t really scream “Federation” to me. But then this ship is a bit on the odd side as Federation designs go.
That’s actually kind of on purpose. I put all my work onto DVD as a slideshow with music and transitions. So when done right it looks kind of animated.
Yeah agree about the design, but atleast not the same old stuff you always see.
