The entire ship is designed to minimise weight and area, allowing it to carry small amounts of cargo to just about anywhere. Here it is carrying special medical supplies.

Please let me know what you think. This is my first attempt at a medium scale spaceship so advice is useful.

What an awesome little ship! It definitely conveys what you were aiming for; it has that Skycrane look. I’d love to see what other kinds of “packages” it can carry.

I also have to commend you for the excellent renderings.

The only thing that irks me is that flower (?) on the nose. It just seems so out of place.

Thanks very much for your comments Mladen. I’m glad you see it as a Skycrane as that is the exact intention I had for it. Glad you like the renderings too, I’ve been playing around a lot at getting good rendering settings lately so I’m pleased the practise is showing.

I did wonder about the flower. It’s a sly reference to my latest Soviet trains all of which feature flowers somewhere (prototypically in their cases). I was hoping it wouldn’t be too obvious and just couldn’t think of a greeble to put there. I’ll leave it out of any new renderings.
