That looks so cool!!!

Also, I've done a fair amount of research, etc. (including building a scale model) and those are precisely the proportions that I've seen/extrapolated from the show. The rear section with the phalanx pods on is almost exactly twice as long as the front section with the phalanx pods on. Trust me, the model looks right when you see it in 3D (truncated perspectives, etc.) even if it looks a little stretched/squashed in 2D.

Good job tomcat

Ashrak, it's because textures makes it to look longer than it really is. Don't know why or if it is even a bad thing.

Rose, we were wondering how long it takes someone to notice the nameplate on that Omega.

You really can't compair the Omega and the G'Quan UNTIL you see the Omega model in its full. What you see now is a side view...of not quite complete textures...with no perspective view at all (its an absolute side view).

Just you wait.
