One of the things I noticed about the Raider model and the Fire Prism turret is the lines on the panels are almost identically spaced. Not only that, but the shape of the curves seemed to fit in nicely.

This is how I got my idea for the Dias of Destruction. I also used a Reaper to help the entire process. I modified the prow though, and made a bunch of other changes. I also added a throne to the back for Vect to sit himself upon.
