First up...I'm no where NEAR the skills 99.9% of the posters here are. I fiddle around with Poser and Milkshape, mostly. So....this is the Osiris, a model I've been fiddling with for a year now. I always wanted to see more civilian ships from the Serenity universe. We only ever got glimpses of them. So I figured I'd make one myself.
Osiris is a obsolete/decommissioned military dropship that was purchased at a surplus auction decades ago.
Comments/suggestions/etc are always welcome.

The model has great potential, but it also seems to have a few weaknesses... Like those hexagonal panels and the dishes... Seeing how much turbulence those vessels tended to get when going in for landing... How well would such panels and dishes really hold up?
The model is fairly low-poly, but still quite decent. The textures do make up for some of it. It'd be a nice thing to see a hi-poly version of your ship, with similarly enhanced details on the textures...
Thanks for your comments/suggestions!

i'd agree with that... the potential the show had was mouthwatering IMHO...
Cool design, can we get some other views at all?
Heres's a side, front, back and top of the Osiris. Also one of her offloading cargo from Bay 2
I pictured the ship as pretty much a straight up/ straight down transport in an atmosphere. She CAN travel from point A to point B in an atmosphere. But there's none of the manueverability of a Firefly or Scarab class. As for space travel, she has an internally mounted Gurstler drive. For atmospheric landing/travel she has four internally mounted Capissen 22 fusion drives. The extendable landing gear contain no drives, per-se, but do have clusters of RCS nozzles for fine control during landings.The Osiris is an ex-Alliance dropship: LIFTER-class. I imagined her as having swappable modules when she was in the Alliancefor the bays, so she could act as a light carrier (carrying 5 gunships), a medical transport, cargo transport, or gunship with weapons emplacements being plugged into to bays.
<NOTE: Much less detail on the underside as very little of it was to be ever seen in the original images>
