Looking better and better every time! I love how this is coming along! What are you using as a renderer?

Hmmm.... seems to be starting to depart from aerodynamic realities. If it needs wings, shouldn't they have an airfoil and a useful amount of surface? If it is never being an atmosphere craft, why the (more than less) aerodynamic shapes and the obviously gas-breathing engines? If it needs rudders, wouldn't would have to be much larger to do any good? Same for the canards (or farther forward of the CG). I keep hoping that someone will make craft that look like they really could fly. And you've been comming a lot closer than most. I don't see why they can't look sexy (at which you are a master) and also super credible. Funny, i keep wanting to spin it around and look from different angles - too much time in 3D apps, i guess.

Really awsome design. Jc is maybe right about the ability to fly in the atmosphere though. Maybe you could enlarge the wings or shift the engines more to the front, closer to the centre of gravity.

Excellent modelling work!

Now We're, or at least You're getting somewhere. Looking more and more Princess Amidalish, LOL. As for being aerodynamic, I think it looks just fine. The small fins are more for vortice control than actual stabilization. Look at the B-2, it has no vertical stabilizer, yet it flies just fine. As for wings, I would imagine the whole ship is a lifting body, so all the "wings" are for is to keep the engines in place. This rocks!!!

Sleek and lovely. Can a spaceship be sexy?

Looking good so far...

Beautiful. Sleek and very sexy! Jim has an interesting point to make about aeodynamics but the fast you go the smaller the wing surface you need - this thing looks like it's going flat out even when it's sitting still!

JC makes good points but I still say that the ship is coming along awesomely. Keep up the good work. It looks like a sort of Star Wars Naboo style.

Wow this is a very cool design i love the point of view for the craft as well awesome ship!
