@Meph - It just some weird, out-of-place-looking detail lines:D I have been trying to come up with something else to put in there in stead but I can't think of anything. If you have any ideas please let me know.
Well, several things spring to mind.
1: A big hatch for a big gun. The thing cound hinge open (a bit, about horizontal) to reveal a big, fat gun, experimental plasma weapon or missile underneath?)
2: The whole thing could pop up a fair bit to reavel either aigain missiles or rotatable gun.
3: you could dot that hexagonal surface with several hatches for vertical launch tubes
4: you could map that bit with a symmetrical hexagonal pattern or carbon-fibre like covering to indicate an advanced sensor array underneath
5: Leave it bare and incoorporate a fancy wreath/logo/shield on it with the name and symbol of the vessel.
I have now finished all the ribs:D and have panelled the top of the main body. I have also had a go with one of the suggestions that Meph come up with. ( please let me know what you think. Good / Bad )
here is a pic.
Things still to do:-
1:- panel the underside to the main body.
2:- detail the underside to the main body.
3:- add the flak guns to the engines.
4:- add the Viper launch tubes to the flight pods.
5:- sit back have a beer:D then see if there is anything else to model for this ship.

Not sure what to make of the Colonial seal on the front section of the battlestar. It does look cooler than the normal circular one that they have though. I've always thought that looked like a giant badge.
I love it!
Now may I offer you a little encouragement for the future?
I think everyone here would truly love to see an ORIGINAL battlestar design from your fine ability's!

Thanks, as for designing my own ORIGINAL Battlestar that will happen but I would like to model a Pegasus & Valkyrie style first, then I'll do one of my own:D
Okey Ice Be honest with us, your actually the guy who did the original modeling for the show but because they turned into a (Erik & Moore) JUNK HEAP you decided to post how this ship was expose to look like!
Dam How am I expose to watch the show now knowing that this was the way it was EXPOSE to look like? LOL
Good work Ice D.
