Fancy ways to blend the Cabot
All three techniques require an offset which is managed with the Nova Mini-bracer from the Better Ship Part Flips/Snaps mods. I've also got Ship Colorize.
They're laid out in order of complexity. The first one just uses a combination of Deimos Bumper and Wing offset between two Stroud cowlings.
The white claymore uses Hopetech caps offset half a step vertically with Nova Cowlings underneath to fill in the gap.
The black and yellow ship is the most complex, each 1x1x2 block behind the cockpit has almost 20 modules piled on top of each other including Hopetech caps top and bottom with the Hopetech Radiator between them, along with some Hopetech Pipes to blend everything together plus fuel tanks and the inset gun mounts to make the turrets snug against the hull.
