Pretty cool design. But...there is always a but, the way your starfury launch system is now you don't have the physical room to open the doors. That section of the station would need to be twice as big. I know we can cheat in 3d. Still, I think it would be cool if it made a bit more sense.
Great job on the Viper. I'm stunned at your ability to use blender so well in such a short period of time. Blender is difficult to learn. I'm still working at it..
Actually, if instead of sliding the doors open you hinge them, whole or in parts, you could keep the current spacing between them
I was thinking about that, but I was opened to change design of whole fighter bay part and I tried to do not interfere to B5 design... (even when I think about it now... whole station is interfering B5 design )

Believe me, that I must choose renders well to do not let you see all the mistakes on it IAâm still beginner. In my manual to blender with 200 pages... In blender I worked with buttons on only like 10 pages
Here is new render... Starfury bays changed and added some details to parts of station:
Looking good. Your renders are looking better everytime. I definitely see this as a smaller station that could be used by the EA at a farway outpost somewhere.
Great progress so far. Coming together nicely. I did notice in one of the closeup renders that the stack of tanks has a lot of polys in relation to the other details/piping. Since it is a small object, consider making the same object with fewer polygons. Set to smooth and your gravy. Saves render time and keeps file size down.
Not a bad idea, itAâs one of three nurbies parts I imported to model, so there were no changes except scale. IAâll try "decimate" on that parts and see if it works, if result will be bad? I create new mesh...
btw, here is main docking bay door modeled:
I think, looked too childish... like 6 years old kids draw tank as sausage instead of tracks and box on it that dozer blade is placed on hydraulic, so it can change angle to optimal condition of inaccessible terrain and protection of tracks...
Hi here, IAâm sorry for no posts in recent time, but I was trying to find some solution to personal problems, worked every day (for money) and had no time for Blender. In about 3 days it all changes and IAâll have nice free time, so expect new renders.
Here is update with some colors. As I already said, this model is for ilustration to my friendAâs novel. He is writing epic story from SG universe about 40 years after original ended. This tank will be strategic part of company called White Order. You can see their insignia on main turret. When he was telling me about them, I got that unpleasant feeling, that they are alike to "Rangers" from Babylon 5, but with kick-ass weapons Main color of order is white for purity, but to remain, that nothing is completely pure, there must be black too. And what can we say, someone with kick-ass weapon as "Piecemaker Mk.II" cannot be pure at all
I was told, that main turret does not fit to model very well, but itAâs not completed yet, so be patient
IAâm forced to pause my work, because my laptop is not working properly and goes to sales returns... because of it, I will not have place to work for at least month. My second laptop is so weak, that I canAât even run Blender with no model in it. So, see you and if I find some place to model IAâll place here some renders.

middle part:
back part:
whole station:
btw, here is main docking bay door modeled:
here is new render with new mouse
edited: Work on station is done, here is final render:
next model will be for my friend who is amateur story writer...
I must tell, that itAâs still kinda boxy and does not look like tank... IAâll try make the idea better
as you can see, Piecemaker is almost completelly rebuilt, only basic idea remains... C&C welcomed...

and support tracks for riding over bi- hig holes(originally on sides of tank):
