New spaceship - shuttle jumper

Bryan K

Thanks ntx dave, alvin and boofredly.

This was not the original design I had in mind, but it came together. I get my ideas and details from google results on sci fi spaceships and then I kit bash in my head. I am also familiar with aircraft, ships and heavy equipment. I used to design heavy equipment right after high school, right down to the nuts and bolts. So I try to make the greeble look funtional. Some things I grab from the warehouse and others I make.

For this ship, the cockpit chairs and RCS thrusters are from the warehouse. The rest is me.

It's hard not to follow current spaceship design trends and do something original. So many great designs exist that it's overwhelming and I badly want to copy them all.

I can't find the design I had in mind. That's 3 times I've lost the reference picture. Maybe I'll find it soon.

Almost finished. Just need to add running lights.

Brilliant, love the cartoon character too. No rush mate but, in your own time, a render is keenly awaited.
