Cruiser on the horizon

Continuing on from last time. The front nose could have been slightly improved as in the original images, the front is square, while my one was as sharp as the original. As I had made the mistake of grouping the objects together, I was unable to use the Boolean tool and trim the nose to the correct shape. This is why, I had to improvise and build one that looked good enough to be not too serious. If I have to build a cruiser in the future, I would probably not group the different objects into one as otherwise the Boolean tool seems to have an issue.
This stage of the build proved to be the longest part of the journey as the cruiser has a lot of towers that are on top of one another and each peace of the tower is differently sized and shaped. In all honesty, the entire top of the cruiser was made from one type of shape but duplicated 7 times and then re-shaped into different thicknesses and parameters. For the first time, the most useful tool was the combination of right-clicking the mouse and then using the edge option which would then be moved and allow me to remodel the cube more quickly.
Adding the tower was the less challenging part of the model as by now, the tower was built and the final stretch is on its way. The main reason for not detailing the front of the bridge and not making the small struts that held the antennas was that the top and side of the cruiser would be heavily dependable on the textures that await it. Nevertheless, some details were added in order for the model to look detailed from a certain distance.
