The Earwig and the Flea are designed for atmospheric, orbital and to a
lesser extent interplanetary operations.  They are not capable of
interstellar flight.

These are both very nice.  The canopies are well done, and the interiors are
beautiful.  I'd like a few more exterior shots, though, like the rear and more
detail on the engine pods.

The Earwig has some great texturing and shaping on the sides, but the Flea is a
bit lacking in this area.  Its side walls are a bit bland, though that's not
exactly inconsistent with the concept.

It is nice to see more near-future stuff.  These are much more grounded in
reality than much of what we see.

The twin prongs are capable of carrying several types of specialized
payloads including a sensor pod, cargo, a towing device etc.

I'm also working on a little animated adventure which I hope to post in
about a week.

I can't wait!  Perhaps we'll see the exteriors better and the prongs in action.
