Sweet! The layout reminds me of those freighters (cannot think of the exact
name) that are used in the US's Great Lakes (they are narrow to fit through
the locks and canals between lakes; the the bridge is towards the bow).
Your model has so many interesting details to list. One thing I especially
like is your creative use of tree stumps. And of course I'd love to hear
the backstory that explains why the attached lander is your Nightshadow. (I
imagine the freighter captain is the sort of person who worked his way up as
a young pilot on tramp steamers, and now that his own ship has a few
successful contracts he is able to afford a sporty personal vehicle for
planetleaves.)
Oh, and your photography continues to improve!
Cheers,
