What I meant is, most of the RM textures are so ... complicated to make it fit on the model. And to say, I did it to see If i can get those 250mill for I to get my Fully Loaded Juggernaught for "The Amarons" story background. (As you can see in my sig)
Other than that. Pff...i don't care who gets it or what not >_>
I like the cyclotron engine style, but I think it's not the right color. Instead make it look like machinery is in there, not that we're literally staring into the reactor of the ship.
Also the torpedo tubes at the prow are a very cool touch.

And comments about the question if the RFP should get this GB belong to: this thread
I really like this model, it look like how Rheinlanders would see a 'light' gunboat (and than it would be still heavy:P)
Ultimately - it depends on whether we can distinguish well enough between 'gunboat' and 'gunship'.
If it is to be a light gunship, it would be smaller, have less hull and power, less guns (and no forward gun) - but greater agility. Given the rather heavy nature of the current RM Gunboat, it shouldnt be too hard to distinguish the two.
the rhienland gunboat (pre existing) was very sleek and thin, this model seem... a bit obese for a rhienland style. mabye thining it up would be a good thing. but thats just me.
