While I am a fan of the notion that if you don't like how someone else is doing it, then do it yourself, I currently have other modelling obligations that need to be filled. Namely my own battleship, a set of fighters requested from me, and I am also doing some 3D work for a TV show pilot, which is currently consuming most of my time. Otherwise I would be doing this, and I'd be doing it for free, too. Offering a prize reward for a model is the wrong incentive, IMO. You'll get modellers who are only interested in the cash, not completing a high-quality model.

the battleship, which is so different to the other capital ships is produced by samura i believe, the destroyer and gunboat are produced by kishiro ( i might be wrong though )
I disagree that the designs are that fundamentally different. All three ships share the same basic "boat" shape, the Battleship shares with the Gunboat the traditional kusari blades and fans, and all three ships possess circle-like reactors. All three ships have the same concept of a temple-like bridge, and have a relatively flat top side.

That's because your average Dev Forum +1er is easier to please than a 15 year old boy.
