Did someone say about been fans of SGU? Can I join? 
Hello:
I have been remaking my Seed Ship 3d model for my Stargate mod project using your model as reference, and oh boy it has been very worthy. Your works with your SGU ships have been amazing and inspiring .
I have a question though, about the Seed Ship: i see you added tons of semi-spherical domes, are all of those the small anti-fighter turrets like Destiny has?.

Wow! that is very nice 
Although that means it will have more anti-fighter guns than my Alteran destroyer ship, hehehe

Oh I was wrong about the top view .... I take my renders and try to compare it and I found there are all 8 big turrets on the top view (just like it the ship would be transparent). So now I see there are the bottom turrets visible on the top view too. Look at tomperys.cz/turrets2.jpg where I tried to connect with lines the turrets from top view and side view and as you can see there are few turrest (green encirceled) which are not on the top view.... OR perhaps they are the orange marks which I labeled as "What are those?" the position would correspond. But its mystery why are they different. I try to translate the wrinting if they will be readable and if it will be not a nonsense...
Anyway that would make Destiny with only 8 big and 20 small turrets.

Hello:
I think Destiny always only had those 8 big turrets (4 dorsal and 4 ventral) because those turrets are too big to be concealed inside the ship as I can't see any hull details that could serve as extra doors for them.
The "what are those?" things, I am not sure either, they could be some system structures but, if they were on the ventral hull, they would be near where the solar-power collectors are.
Still, Destiny's advantage over the Seed Ships is the big main weapon (I always thought that is a type of massive weapon the Ori super-enhanced for their ships

Iam not sure...
See the thing is Destiny's small turrets are actually so tiny, that I think I have just one on the big model (because they are hardly visible anyway and its just a dome - cannon itself would be too thin).
Unfortunately there is no "original" blueprints or plans in good quality that could be used. There are only the "blueprints" (as I call them) from the animations that were displayed on the screens on bridge and so (in one episode were visible the turrets locations with labels but I doubt they are all).
The only sure thing is, that there are 8 of those big turets (4 at top hull and 4 at bottom). Now see here tomperys.cz/turrets.jpg that according to the animation on the TOP view we see 19 labels, so 19 turrets from which are 4 those big ones (the red encircled) and what remains are 15 small turrets. Now on side view (lets split it in half to top and bottom hull)... on TOP hull except of the big turrets (its flat view so notice only the 2 big turrets are labeled, other two are not visible because they are on the other half of the ship) we can see only 6 labels. We know from the TOP view that the most forward turret is just one, the other are mirrored on sides so that makes 5x2+1 thats 11 turrets. But wait, according to top view there should be 15 right? So we are missing 4 turrets. On the BOTTOM hull we see again except big turrets 4 labels. Notice also taht 2 white dots (turrets) are not labeled at all! So if we will assume that again the most forward turret is alone and other are mirrored, we will have 7 small turrets + if we will count those two unlabeled, we will have 11 small turrets on the bottom hull. A total of 26 small turrets.
Ok lets see 26 turrets for almost 800 meters long ship? Thats seems too little. But let's assume it's so. Seedship (my model) has 20 small turrets and 2 big. Now the Seed Ship is not half as big as Destiny so Destiny should have definitely more turrets.
Now I will give myself a task, I will watch SGU episodes with sapce battles and I will try to find all turrets according to that (either when I will see them directly or I will see the fire from them) and their location. Then I will post it here.

Hello:
Don't forget that it was started that Destiny can barely bring online 1/3 of their weapons, so unless they can fix that problem then we have the number of turrets we have. I also used those same diagrams you posted here to place the turrets on my model of Destiny, but, until we get to know where are each and every turret, then these are all we can use 
I think we might be able to guesstimate some though, considering all hull details and stuff, but they will not be official. But wow, imagine Destiny's firepower when it was new, it would have been able to fire like a Battlestar

I have it I have it.... I have position of every turret! Haha yes. I will post the schematics later today

Yay!
Although I am not sure I'll rebuild Destiny like I did with the Seed Ship

Oh me too, glad to meet you :-D I loved all SG series because they have all something unique. But I really loved SGU for its darker atmosphere. And Destiny was wonderful and most beautiful ship in all SG. As soon as I will have some free time, I will build one that will be lighted and have some servos (for the bridge, guns...). That would be the best, to have the lighted and functional model.

It would be cool if you could get the model to have the retractable bridge like in the show. That would be bad ass! P.S. Good luck with your artistic endeavors!

Thanks. Yes, I will try. I also want to try make tetractable solar collectors but Iam not very sure here if that would be possible because of lack of space.

No good workshop or large room to work with, eh?

Haha I see there was a misunderstanding. I have my room (its actually my room, my dedroom and my workshop all in one

Aha, I see. Sorry for my confusion. Well best of luck in your ship design efforts!
