Title: Advice appreciated.

Any advice for the saucer of this ship? The rest is not completed.... it is not supposed to be cannon.

I just want it to look nice.

The fore and aft sections of the ship are too different, architecturally.  The aft section is heavy on angular lines, while the saucer is rounded & smooth.

Make the saucer thicker, and introduce some angularity to the different deck levels, or smooth up the rear and round  off the sharp lines.

The model is not mine. Also, I have only textured the saucer.... I will retexture everything else in the next day or so.

Larger imperial logos, and palce them on the sides with the sword tips facing port/star. And I would get rid of them concentric circle patterns too, they're and eye-sore, imho.

It would look better if the rest of the ship were the same dark bronze color as the saucer imho.

The non-bronze color are textures that I haven't gotten to yet. :)

sinces it's clearly an ISS, how about some bad-ass fanboy cannons sticking out of a few places?

I wish I could, but I'm not a modeler.... :(

I wouldn't know where to start, and I don't think that putting cannons on the textures would look too good.
