Looks nicely detailed. I'm in doubt though: is it a space ship, a space rifle or a futuristic submarine?Big Smile [:D] Sure, CSS gives away something. you could go either way I reccon: will you come up with story of this ...ehm... space sub gun?

Hrm. You're right, it does look like a rifle. Dang.

This is the CSS Iris from an alternate history short story I wrote where North and South were still at war in the 23rd century. This craft is equipped with a near-FTL drive (non-warp), and twin impulse drives for inner-system travel. It uses high-resolution radar, periscopes and visual referencing. The Iris is in the 'Light Cruiser' class. This ship is built to 1/350 scale. I am planning to do a destroyer and battleship to scale with this one. The destroyer would run about 10" and the battleship will be approx. 2.5'.

Here are some more projects:

From Battlestar Galactica, this is the foundry/salvage ship, Haephestus.

Miscellaneous projects, including the 1/350 Viper, New Cylon, and Millenium Falcon with a quarter to show scale.

Enjoy.
