Making Starship models

Cross-section Model of Safari Ship

I will show you a cross-sectional model.
As you know, the original deck plan was published in pp.24-25 at the Adventure 10 Safari Ship. The basic deck arrangement has been tried to approximate this, but my ship is designed with the rules of the Mega Traveler, so there are differences.
We can go back and forth between the upper and lower decks by stairs equipped in the stairwells on both sides of the lower deck lounge.

The forward observation dome is lower than the deck and the rear observation dome is raised, overlooking the deck.

Hey Team,
Just to keep my Solidworks/OnShape skills up I've been 3D (rough) modeling the ships in CT Supplement 9 Fighting ships. The one I'm working on is the Skirmish Class Light Carrier. The original image shows bright something on the nose of the center, what do you all think it is? Random explosion in space?

There's no spinal mount on the ship.

Thanks!
MJ

Considering the fact that the original image is clearly showing an active combat situation (with "guns blazing" going on), the simplest answer s that what you're looking at is weapons fire.

Doesn't have to be a spinal mount.
LBB S9, p34 clearly shows that the class had four 50 ton meson bays.
You could be looking at an "artist's impression" of what a 50 ton meson bay weapon firing looks like ... meaning that entire "pod on a pylon" is the meson bay.

I looked it up in the MgT High Guard and it's the recovery hanger. MgT has it as 2 launch tubes which makes a lot more sense for the configuration.

Fooled around with the model a bit more along the lines of the Mgt2E High Guard drawing. If anyone would like a 3D model to goof around with PM me and tell me what flavor your need.

SIENO class close escort

400dt SIENO Class close escort is a small fighting ship used for various multi-purpose missions. This class is among the smallest armed interstellar warships. The original model of this class is a 300dt class close escort with drop tanks.
Removing the drop tanks from the design could shortened production time and simplified operations.

I remake this ship with more detail up and new body painting.
This painting was drawn in reference to a work painted by Richard Hentz, Jr in 1980. The original work was published in pp.31 at the Supplement 7 Traders and Gunboats.

She is no longer Paul, she is Jennell Jaquays now. Just for your information.

She is no longer Paul, she is Jennell Jaquays now. Just for your information.

I respect her novel works, so I am very grateful for the information from you.
I didn't know her name had changed until now, so I couldn't find out who she was.
