Description

You ask for more artworks with the Leif Ericson and here it is! The Leif Ericson was a plastic model spaceship published by AMT back in 1968. It was a commercial flop, but baby-boomer SF fans refuse to let the model die. I try to put this ship from the '60 in a kind of a "vintage" spaceport. Rendered in Bryce 4, color correction in Photoshop. The original file is 2726x3636 pixels. Better view in full size. Comments and rates are welcomed! :) Luca Oleastri (a.k.a. duo, a.k.a.

It was also released as part of the Star Trek line as a glow in the dark model.

This looks great! Excellent 3D model work! Is that something you built in Bryce? Great job on the detail work.

I still have my model of this ship. The one I had was a glow in the dark "UFO" and it was advertised on the Star Trek models. Great kit! It had a cool little vehicle that docked in the bay as well. It looked very much like the old Starbird toy that came out years later.
