thats one really nice ship Anarion, I've always thought this baby was sweet ever since I saw the amiga (?) version. Very cool! I really liked your other amiga models the Enterprise and Excelsior. They were very inspirational too. sweet job on that secondary hull, it looks tough

Look forward to your next project
