Description
So, after about a year or so I decided to finish up that gigantor flying carrier I started a while back (WIP's in scraps). Obviously, I still haven't textured it - I wanted to wait and see if anyone had any suggestions (I've never been good with color). Also, I wanted to know if anyone had any ideas for extra details I could add (if you think they are necessary - I'm concerned that the level of detail is nearing the limits of my computer, and I'm afraid that if I make one thing too detailed it will look lame if the rest of it is not at that same level of detail). Still, some of the surfaces look unnaturally blank and my mind is equally blank trying to think up of stuff to fill them in with. Any suggestions for both textures and additional details would be much appreciated.

As for the model itself, I can only say I tried to be as realistic when it came to including various elements (i.e. arrester wires on the runways, turrets that cover the full 360 degrees around the ship, etc.)

And, here are the labels for the different views (because I was too lazy to text them in Photoshop...)
(top to bottom)
1. Top view
2. Starboard side elevation
3. Front, Back
4. View looking into front, showing flight decks and catapults (for launching airplanes and such)
5. View of back, showing landing strips, arrester wires, landing lights and various AA and mixed-use turrets.
6. View of bottom showing armor plating, air intake and gimbaled thruster (the thing sticking out the side) for maneuvering.
7. Close-up of front showing flight decks, other various platforms, radar mast and air/ground traffic control bridges.
8. Close-up of main bridge/residence element with radio antenna, AA guns and smokestacks.

Enjoy! Again, critique much appreciated.
