The description there contains an explanation as to why there are two files now. Hopefully it will not stay that way though, I may end up having to delete this upload as there's no point in leaving the older one up if I can't replace it with the newer version. I'm hoping someone knows how to fix this problem and can help me out. Please be patient with me while I try to figure this out! Thank you!

This is a work in progress model of the Bentusi Harbor Ship from Homeworld 2. I've already sunk nearly 60 hours into this project and I still have A LOT to do, but I thought some people might still be able to have some fun with it if I released it now!

Everything is built by hand, no mods or imports. The ship is about 500 blocks long, which I believe is 1:2 scale. The central structure of the ship weighs over 66 million kg, and with the addition of the outer hull panels I'd estimate the total weight to be closer to 100 million.

The detail is very rough at the moment but I plan to continue to work on this as time allows. I intend to add more paint soon, and eventually lights, but work on this is getting very difficult due to framerate issues. The outer hull panels still need some attention as well, as it's a bit fragile at the moment. Some of the smaller panels are prone to exploding which, although annoying, makes crashing things into this very satisfying! That said, I doubt this ship will ever fly, but I may end up giving it a go just for fun!

I hope you enjoy! Please also be aware that it may take a while for this file to load.
