This is a mix of the parts from the Star Wars Rebels 'Ghost' that I like and something inspired by the Millennium Falcon. There is a lot of detail to add to this but this is an initial design.
I see this as my personal ship - if I lived in the Star Wars universe. A Corellian designed light freighter.
I've started to add the external detail - some plating, a side docking ring and some engine detail. Engine detail should make you think of the Millennium falcon, but not be the same. I've also added a stormtrooper figure for scale.
Glad you put "Nameless Cannonfodder Trooper" in there for scale, as for a while the ship looked quite a bit smaller (due to the larger diameter of your cockpit relative to the docking rings, compared to most CEC freighters) On the subject of the cockpit also, the window panels seem a bit haphazard to me? But as you say it's your personal ship, so if that's the look you're going for, fair play! *shrugs*
Are you planning to put a greeble-trench in around the entire ship? I know the VCX-100 from Rebels doesn't have one, but when they revamped the mesh for Rogue One a fully greebled trench was added in to be more in line with other CEC freighters.
I work in AC3d and tend to do my 'sketches' in AC3D so until you see a finished ship there will be changes as I go along. To answer a couple of the queries above - yes there will be a 'greeble' trench but only on the back half; there will be a small radar/antenna mounted centrally alongside a small armament system; and the cockpit will evolve to look more like a B52 bomber.
Some more panelling detail added as well as the obligatory radar dish. Still a lot of detail to add and some tidying up to do on the existing body work. I've also run a few lighting renders, though no texture work has been done so far
Ok. So its been a while, for lots of reasons, but I finally got back to this piece of work. Plenty done, some changes to the shape and a much more detailed 'back story'.

Keep up the good work!
It looks a little flat to me though, do you plan to add an antenna dish like the Millennium Falcon had, or some turrets?
