Finally started wroking again - Battle Pod... WIP

Seeing all these fine minis has got me worked up to start again... so I'm starting simple:

A couple year ago, I got started on a Battle Pod, then got side-tracked by ACTASF - and put it on hold.
Tonight, i brought it back out, cleaned it up, and re-primed and re-sanded, just to remind myself where i was at.

Here's a couple shots of her as she sits:

REAR, 3/4 ANGLE

The Battle Pod is a double weight pod, so I made it half again as wide as a standard pod.
The enlarged, shuttle bay at the rear is probably not accurate - but it looks good.
I still need to add the weapon mounts, but after that - it should be ready to re-prime and paint.

It will be interesting to see what you do for the tow pad on the tug.

I intend to recreate the standard tow clamp/pad in brass, but fit to the widened pod.
