Derelict ships

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.

Added some things. Moved other things around.

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.

[rojren]

Well... the original was just a bunch of cubes mashed together. Just a basic pattern to build on.

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

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.

It's a very unusual, very distinctive style you've got with your stuff. I like it a lot.

"Distinctive". I like that. Thank you.
