Been working on a miniature thought I'd share it here, i know this isn't a hotbed of BFG but i know a lot of people here play multiple SG games. This is my vision for a heresy era marine heavy frigate, more updates to come C&C welcome.

Great scratchbuilding!

Have you seen the Pre-Heresy ship on sale on shapeways? It's a nice model but I prefer the guns on yours.

It inspired this model, the detail is not too hot on that mini i agree.

Thanks for the kind words guys glad you like it!

Quick update, i finished the carrier sides. I'm not sure if i will do a lance turret side yet. Still tons of detail to finish on the ship as well as the flying bridge behind the rear turret.

Added some ribbing to the back part of the ship. Thoughts? good/bad?

Yiou should also post up a log on the Resin Addict forums, where Mangozac has designed many BFG ships from plasti-card and putty. He/they might be able to offer experienced tips.

Okay long delayed update, i ripped apart the rear of the ship and redid the whole thing. C&C is welcome, i also have flat spots over the arched windows on either side, i was thinking that space could go for unit emblems on them so was thinking about leaving them blank. Any ideas?

Thanks man, i really can't wait till this is done so i can move onto the next project.

Okay so i have hit a creative block and i need some help on what to do next for this build. I added structure down the front of the prow for ramming, but thats about all i can think of to do. Well not true i have thought of maybe putting some wings on the top front with a skull or an aquila. I did want to kind of make this miniature generic to avoid grandma wendy issues. So i'm coming here to you guys for help on what i can do just a couple small things i'm thinking, or just cast as is and make conversion prows like a big ass cannon prow and torp tubes prow also.
