Has anyone out there by chance made a guide on how to build the Higgy Battle cruiser?
I've about halfway through cutting all hte bits out from the card but realised the guide that comes with the file is good for refernce but doesnt show what goes where!
Mithias,

well, like in many models, just do it !! its easy to figure out where each piece connect, otherwise, u need to play the game more hehehe  Auris, our AI maker here is making AIs for my mover, but maybe he can crank up some time for the BC, althoug the version of PS is really nerfed I think, bridge is at wrong side and it lacks the point defense beams and the antennaes no offense for ya Josip, u made a really good work, but u shoud used a better mesh |

And one more thing, the hiigaran battlecruiser cannons and ion cannons are (at least for me) impossible to build at that size. So i would recomend you to download fructose´s Hiigaran destroyer, then resize the cannons it includes (theyre easier to build -4-) and put them into the hiigaran cruiser. You will have to build the ion cannons from the hiigaran cruiser... but at least you will have the other 4 ones done.

Getting the point defence is pretty easy. I unfolded the VRML mesh of the BC from homeworld unit stats website, isolated the PD guns and resized in .pdo.
I built the guns around a balsa former for strength.
I'd photograph and display the finished model but for 2 things. Josip did a great job overall but
1. The engines suck. I'm trying to redo the model by modifying Fructose's engine solution.
2. The BCs guns really suck.
Had to give up on them. I'll either use the guns from Frustose's destroyer or stick on the ion and mass driver cannon from a Kushan Heavy cruiser.
I've also managed to create the raised panels that Josip omitted from his BC but I can't re-colour them. So they are grey and don't match the B/C blue hull colour.
It is quite a simple build otherwise and looks really good wth the HUGE docking bay. But you have to build it carefully so when you join the major hull modules there are no gaps etc.

i've got most of the surface details and some small add-ons (new engines, modules, bridge antenna, logo) built onto my BC; if anyone wants to test either the 'details for the current version' or the 'mirror' patch &details, i can send it to you zipped - pepakura or jpeg

Ugh, I remember building the one from paperstarships. Mine turned out kinda misaligned, and I know I gave up on the engines. As for the weapons, I replaced the mass drivers and ions with resized Kushan turrets. I ended up dumping the model when I had to move desks tho, which is why you don't see it in my current gallery.
