I've noted the Soran77 version of the shuttlepod seems scaled-up compared to the carlg original. You can sort of see it as perhaps a romulan war era tactical shuttle and even a predecessor of that winged, high-mounted nacelle shuttle that I think most of us have seen in those Trek XI spy photos that were posted a few weeks ago (and quickly removed) on AICN.
Once again, a big
to both of you carlg and Soran77 - great work has inspired still more great work here.
It's also great to see you posting in this thread Aethernaut. Your beautiful take on the Daedalus and spot-on design Icarus class shuttlepod (I like to think of it as the type 1 shuttlecraft) are big favourites of mine from around the ENT era.
