      I find the design of the cybertruck anything but lazy.

        Although the engineering is cool, I find the truck ugly and a very lazy design. If it were almost anything other than a truck, it might be cool. Like say, a boat.

        This is a cool concept truck. I may try to model something like this next.

        My design is really nothing new. The squared off cone is quite common for the very reason you state: it's a robust, economical design.

        This one actually flew.

        Here's a variation concept.

        There are a couple of others, so what I'm making is nothing new, just a variation on a sound engineering design.

        But thanks for the compliment! πŸ‘

                            More roughing out of the crew space. Very rough. Mostly just getting the scale for now.

                              Looking good, mate. Do you have any idea for a lifting mechanism to get people and kit on the surface? πŸ‘

                                Yeah, working on both central elevator and external hatch that flip up with extending frame elevator ideas.

                                  Rough-out of the internal elevator placement and scale.
