Well for you people using Strata, (Nibbs, Kate...) here's something you can make... It was done in Strata v 1.75+ so I don't know if all the tools still exist. Oh, and everybody forgot to mention Infinit-D, what gives, it's out of date, but if you get good at it you can do some amazing stuff, refer to some of the things (url="http://"http://dreamwave.evula.net/military/TigerLarge.jpg")Kyle Katern(/url) and Weepul 884 can do with it.
As for the Strata model, here's an image of it
It's very simple, the large back section is simply a cylinder, you don't need to even add the top mount if you don't want to. The eight barrels are simply duplications of the first one. Which is a cylinder with a boolean subtract through the middle of it. The center supprt pole and the two plates holding the barrel are simply more cylinders of various dimensions. The final piece, the base of the guns, is a boolean cylinder with another cylinder in the middle. If that goes strait over your head, just try and make it with your knowledge of Strata. Once you can build this as well, or hopefully better, then I can, you're well on your way to creating ships. Oh, and those textures are very simple, just metals.
Hope that helps some...
