It’s nice to have models to steal parts from. I wanted to put a huge cannon type thing under my new space ship, so I grabbed a barrel from my turret. I like the result:

You can see I still have to make a mounting bracket for it (currently just using a cube). Also that cylinder on top is where the rear-facing turret is going to be. I’m generally happy with the new body shape. All in all the major pieces are falling into place, it’s just lacking a lot of detail work.
