This has got a totally original shape Nathan....it looks like a wave caught
in motion. What I like about it is that the design and flowing line of it
makes it look like it's flying, even when still.
It almost looks as if could be the base to more mission-specific variants as
well.
Nice stuff.
Cheers,
