Over the years (and years and years) I've scribbled out various space ships that obviously would not have been built by the same cultures. So I made up a research division of a generic Federation-like government that gathers and studies derelict space craft.
I'll be dumping ships here as I get around to working on them.
The first is one that looks like a clump of salt crystals. It's a bit bland at the moment.

I like the rearrangement better than the original. Also, I like it with the added bits. They make it look less like a bunch of cubes mashed together and more like a ship.
I think I'm through with this one, for a while. I'm moving on to something else. I'm learning a fair bit doing these things - although the main thing I'm learning is that 3D in AutoCAD is still annoyingly buggy.
Added details to the ring. The outer part of the ring is mostly water-ice storage. I had thought of having the outer part of the ring being a large collapsible 'balloon' that would get smaller during the journey.
Started on the bow. Didn't get much done today - and I'll probably re-do it. I don't like the ridges. I also realized that there are details that can't be seen any longer.
Thanks. I was trying for a B5 'First Ones' kinda look, with a level of physics that make overconfident physicists mumble to themselves in dark corners.
Hmmn, at least I did manage to confuse the hell out of AutoCAD when I tried to put a radius on the openings of the spheres.

Added some things. Moved other things around.

Now, it's a bunch of cubes with things attached.

Looks good.
I love that movie. "Randy lay there like a slug. It was his only defense." , "He had yellow eyes, so help me God, yellow eyes!"
I love quotable movies.
