==============================================
For awhile I’ve been thinking about trying my hand at a starship since a fairly large part of my collection is grey pieces, so about a week and a half ago I finally started on one which I finished today. Originally, I planned on this being bigger, but that didn’t work out after all. The bridge was the first thing I built and then the main ship just kind of came together under it from the base up. It took a bit of fiddling around to get what I thought was the right shape for the area below the bridge and around the cannons, but after awhile it finally turned out. Thanks for looking!

EDIT---1/29/10
I added landing gear and random detail onto the underside of the USS Star Runner after it was suggested by G W and Jordan Lee.

Quoting John Moffatt Reminds me of a tank I once made.

Well, this was entirely my own design, so any similarities are coincidental. Thanks for the comment!

G W and Jordan Lee, you're both right that I should add some landing gear and details onto the underside. I'll try to do that and see about either posting a v.2 or adding some new photos to this post. Thank you for your honest comments!

Agreed. The bottom is seriously under-developed compared to the top. It's so filled with detail and function, almost like a scale model of a real ship... but the bottom is just plain and boring. Even a little detail would add so much to it. Please finish the bottom!
