Based off all the fabulous inspiration for the P-38 contest, I decided to try my hand at something a little different and created the Slow and Steady, a Tiberius Class Family Cruiser (about 20 years outdated) that has been refurbished several times over to serve as a short range cargo freighter. Not much on looks anymore, it still gets the job done with a very hefty Maglar EW2000 Magnetic Retention System to secure the cargo to the rear assembly.

The S&S comfortably seats three, with an access corridor for maintaining the 3000 Turbowatt Spexor Reactor core jury-rigged to operate inside a Hirshborn casing. The front of the corridor has controls for a pair of forward mounted remote manipulator arms that they haven’t raised enough money for yet. (I built them, but thought the story had more charm this way).

Of course, suggestions and concerns always welcome, and please note the use of my new Knight’s Kingdom pieces for the landing gear assemblies.
