Here is one from above from one of the blog posts

I also just realised that the turret on this one is backwards as well.

Updates as promised.

I've done more work on the engines, fleshing them out quite a bit, and also added rocket holes to the back. (note to self: think of  more creative names).
I realise the engines look quite appalling at the moment but they will improve. I'm unsure of what shape to give them, should they be rounded? or angular like they are currently?

I've also done some light detailing on the main hull, but i don't want to do to much yet as the engines may interfere with it.
The weapons have received some attention, mostly the PD at this point in time, I've got 3 ideas for a PD turret but I don't know which one to go with. What do you think? Obviously the chosen one will get detailed and will look much better.

Cheers guys  ;)

I like the first. It resembles the double-barreled light machinegun.

what he said ^
the second made me wonder why you putted an assault chaingun there and the third just looks too plain (even considering it might have gotten better)

Scale wise the third one looks the best but it needs some "stuff"
