Durendal-class Destroyer
Another ship that I'm finally getting edited up and posted after the finished product has been sitting on my computer for nearly a year. And I have others, so I'll hopefully get with it and start posting them all.
The Durendal-class Destroyer, constructed by New Carradock's provincial military shipyards, is a true destroyer to the core. Tasked with assaulting cruisers and frigates head-on rather than engaging in the typical broadside tactics that other ships use, the Durendal has heavy frontal armor and its weaponry can all target forward. Even cruisers larger than the Durendal and with more overall firepower and armor will frequently be outmatched when trying to fight the destroyer.
Anyway, I've always been super happy with the nose construction of this model. Unfortunately it's a bit different from my intended design style, which consists of giant cylinders with armor plating bolted on the sides, and I'm also not completely happy with how the midsection turned out.
...Yes, this model is digital. Probably will be a disappointment to some people here. I build almost exclusively in LDD nowadays, since I don't have the munnehz to build enormous SHIPs like I want to. And unfortunately that does have the side effect of not always being very sturdy or using pieces in real colors.
But hey, here's an LDD file! github.com/Arikelliott/LDD-Models/raw/master/Durendal-cla...
