that's turning out quite well. Will you add a small turret to the top to represent the LFR WB?

I hadn't thought of that, but I guess I should! I might just grab one of the turrets from the Destroyer kit and use that. The problem there is that it still has the broadside cannons. Ideally they would be replaced with something else, but that would be a lot more effort and I have no idea what I'd put there...

I think you are safe leaving them as is. The gw stuff has both and the stats give the ships both LFR batteries. Can we convince you on the marine type prow?
maybe a prow pack for both the frigate and destroyer?

Excellent! I stuck one of the Destroyer turrets on top and it's "job's a good 'un". Going in silicone soon!
Yeah I'll do you guys some Marine prows for them. After I finish the Warhound diorama

Love it - in particular the detail around the underside of the prow and lance - awesome.

I'm really pleased with that too - the pictures unfortunately don't do it justice

Haha, so marine prows about the time I'm done with the battletech and epic stuff and actually get to paint bfg again?

Very very cool, the eagle crest does a lot for the lance as well!

That turned out pretty good. Now that I can see the side better I think it looks a bit empty above and below the gun ports compared to the rest of the model. I think perhaps some extra detailing might have helped across there.

Yeah that's something I only picked up while studying these extreme close-ups too. Oh well it's all done now!
