Terrific stuff mate. Really nice design and perfect niche role. There never seemed to be enough heavy cruisers in service in legends. Looks very solid, almost like the Defender-class of the New Republic but better 
.
Yeah, amazing design though. I feel it could do with some external 'greeblie' surfaces, probably along the brim-notch. The armament layout also doesn't feel quite right with the single quad, and are the sensor and such concealed or? Perhaps the quad needs a buddy or two, placed along the centreline. Just my thoughts, similar to Ansel Hsiao's Allegiance and Procursator designs. All in all looks great and very smooth, with the drawback that it seems it would mean a non-standard sort of layout where comms equipment is internal primarily. Eh, I dunno. The armoured look is very nice also, just a shame about the repetitive plate texture but then it's hardly noticeable so... Awesome.
btw, download not working for me. It may be a wider issue.
Oh oh and another question, how do you create these? Is it google sketchup still like with the Venator?

Thanks I am glad you like it. I wish I still had this file, I lost it when I my last computer crashed, I always wanted to revisit it and make it better with more detail. And yes I used google sketchup to make the model and v-ray to render this particular one.
Yeah it is one of my favourite fan designs ever, dude. It's got such a nice look to it, and some interesting novel design concepts. Have you ever come close to redoing it since this comment? I actually tried drawing it, as well as attemtping to recreate it in sketchup. I was interested in attempting to recreate it in Minecraft (some of my work here www.planetminecraft.com/member…) but it's hard without a sense of height, and some orthographic images etc.
