Superb drawings Bruce!

If you fancy something a bit more Gothic - plenty of inspiration in the Warhammer 40K universe!

It looks like an armed cathedral.

Beautiful painting, Stuart. A great reference image. I forgot Warhammer has hybrid concepts on lock down. I remember the conversation on another thread about a dazzle camo and thought a simplified approach could work here, too.

Maybe the black could be a star field in design?

Such cool designs! And wow Bruce, those drawings are insanely good. Here's some more ideas.

There's always the SDF-1 from Robotech.

Or the Battleship Yamato.

While I think Bruce's drawings are insanely awesome, I'd like to see you preserve as much of the Missouri profile as possible as they did with the Yamato. Otherwise I don't see it as "Space Battleship Missouri"

That being said, those side blisters bristling with guns or rocket tubes would really look great.

It's your model, I'm just along for this incredible ride.

Duke’s right of course. Plus, Modelcrazy is so experienced with building ships that I learn from him. My reasons were - I just really love this idea and I think it’s kind of cooler if this looks different. I think dazzle camo on a spaceship is bad ass:

You can break up the uniform color with a lot of fantastic color variations, too.

I totally agree with the dazzle pattern too. That would rock on this (space) ship!

Agreed.
Black and red maybe. The black with a starfield.
