Description
This is definitely a work in progress... or maybe a labor of love in progress. About 25 years ago I discovered the books of Larry Niven. If I were trapped on a desert island and could only take one book (besides "How to Build a Boat") I would take "Ringworld".
For those of you who love sci-fi... if you haven't read it, run - don't walk to the nearest 'puter and order it!
This shows the humans Louis Wu and Teela Brown as well as the Pierson's Puppeteer Nessus and the Kzin Speaker to Animals, confering after their ship (the Lying Bastard - visible in the background half buried in the furrow it plowed into the Ringworld floor) crashes onto the Ringworld. They are about to climb aboard their flycycles and try and make a Ringworld ledge, where they believe civilization may survive.
Fist-Of-God Mountain is visible in the background.
The Kzin is a millenium cat aboard an M3 body. The Puppeteer needs some work, but is constructed from a Daz horse and two brachiosaurus head/necks.
Thanks for looking!

Puppeteer looks great. Tried to model it from scratch once...harder than it looks. Great pic. Surprised a General Products hull would do that...;)
