I've added three laser cannons , made from scrap styrene and brass rod , two mid-ship and one on the rear fuselage . I'm also adding more dark grey/black pastel washes to build up the shading . I reckon that as the ship operates in atmospheric conditions as well as space , it'd be liable to get pretty dirty and beat up . It still needs a bit of tidying up here and there , but I think I've actually reached that point where I'm beginning to be happy with the look of the model and it's starting to resemble the ship I have in my head !
