Do I smell a complete shipline there?
It's very early stage but I can see where this is going. Black Dragon/Irezumi style as "common sight" among Hogosha ships is tempting. With graceful lines it can look really nice. Maybe have the front less spiky. It resembles the boat shape of the Hachiman in some aspects, I'm not inclined to call this bad, as the Hachiman is okay. But I suppose it goes closer to the KuGB. Maybe away from boat shapes overall or somewhat into the KNF equivalent direction.
Funnily enough I can see a FWG appearing on it, despite Devs not being keen on them.
Will take another look once it progressed a bit. But I deeply appreciate the effort and I think I got to kudos Lucas again for inspiring you

Inspiring other people with the first complete model that I've done makes me feel really good.
From looking at the Hogosha snubs (the new Irezumi and the Black Dragon ingame) I feel like the model base bodies are very slim and quite long, maybe you could try working that into the Hogosha GB. Right now it looks more like the BD one, but I think the KuGB fits better.
Really like to see someone working on this though!
I'm far from being a good at modelling, so I am not sure if my feedback is really that good.
I agree with @Lucas when it comes to the shape, for some reason I always envisioned it somewhere between the Gaian GB and the KuBG. Long and slim with a Kusarian twist to it.
The original idea is of a medium gunboat, but it needs to be less thicc.
"It's not a compliment, it's a matter of fact. I never saw you whining about stuff when it didn't go your way, you never do ooRP-arranged stuff, you're active, you're good at playing your character ingame and you're neutral enough to not end up as a clown infront of the community."
I quite agree with everyone else opinion. Less bulk, longer body, keeping a unique design within the shipline and nothing resembling any of the other Kusari Gunboats is the best route to go. I mean, it sounds stupid cause almost every cap in Kusari is based on a boat design but give it a distinct feature that differentiates it.
Why would a Gunboat replace the Raba? Raba is like the Junker Frigate, unique shipclass.
This looks interesting, about time Hogosha gets another option besides Gaian/Sair and Civ stuff. I will definitely buy one, depends on its looks tho ^^
