The shuttle "Marvin"

Bryan K

The "Marvin". Ship to ship shuttle. Coming and going.

Pilots and RCS thrusters from the warehouse. Original design by me.

Excellent work Bryan

I do wonder though that if the shuttle got that far up in space, would the external body be that clean? However, as I said above, I think it is excellent work. Worth a few more thumbs.

Thanks ntxdave!

Also, there is no dirt in space. And dirty ships would just go to the drive thru ship wash anyway. (free with fill up!)

COMPLETELY! As I think about it, the rocket that launches the space vehicle is the one that tends to get some blemishes.

Seriously though, the model and render are great. I really enjoy seeing this type of work.

Thanks again.

Very sharp mate, as far as I know the 'dirt' is actually burning acquired during reentry. Worth some discussion perhaps, with future shuttles being able to adjust their approach angles more accurately, would they have reentry issues like heat damage?
