Description

This is another commission for the great - the Slipstream Class Light Cruiser.

Originally this was going to be the Nebulae Class Medium Cruiser but I did not like the role compared to the design – it looked too fast, speedy, nifty; not the characteristics of a medium class cruiser. So I used the design as a light – and in a way a bridge between light ships like the Comet Class Gunship and heavier vessels in the Alliance’ fleet.

It looked the perfect bridge, and I went with that angle, and loved it. That made it all worth while.

There are days I have where I feel why bother, that I am not good enough, that it’s all a waste of time; and then someone says great words and it makes it all worth it

Cheers sir

Comments and feedback most welcome.
