Hiyo,

The XLL324 - 'Vant' is a light cargo hauler for carrying small but vitally
important manifest travelling within the solar system. At around $3.26
million to take a small envelope to Io, it better be important, but the Vant
will get it there in a mere month.

This MOC features a)colured and styled to fit into the Pre Classic Space theme.
b) a seed part of the month. the canopy literally was the seed. I started
sticking bits to the canopy and worked back from there, c)the computer of
the month and d)not a heck of a lot of interior space.

Enjoy and PLMKWYT

Hey,
His is a great MOC.  Has that form from function look, very industrial.
Those engine pods are very cool.  Nice shapes to the doors and that canopy
rocks the way you have it.  (ps, PCS ships have a bit of trans blue in em...
forgot to mention that before... navagation sensors).


As to being part of the PCS theme I see two possibilities:  1) It's a very
late vehicle in the period.  Angled, color added (even though red), and
using more CS engines).  OR  2) This is a privateer.  (and I like this idea)
It really looks like a rough and tumble space privateer vessel trying to
make some space bucks delivering packages and cargo in the solar system.

Excellent Job!
