Description
More progress complete on the Connestoga model. I still have more hull detailing to do, but it's almost done now.I tried something new on this render, and used my starfield background as a spherical sky, and turned the intensity of the sunlight way down so that the model's running lights handle most of the illumination work. You can see the starfield reflected in the radiator sails, which I thought was kinda cool. I think if I want to try this more often, I will need a bigger sky image though.
Modeled with SketchUp. Rendered with Kerkythea.

Yes, large gas tanks. Mucho Delta-Vee.

Its certainly getting there, this design seems to have flowered quite nicely, the boom illumination on the rotating hab section is a really nice touch.

This is my second experiment with the ship having its own self-illumination beyond the four-color collision lights. I think the open frame portions of the design lend themselves to this.

Thanks! I hope to have the base model done by next week and build some custom cargo modules for it.
