Pen and ink ships since I can't model

For all the love of the Ringship, here's some further exploration as to its' shape and its' 80s-esque livery.

It's nice to see this getting some more attention. I like what you're doing with it.

For the nose of the scavenger ship, perhaps something similar to the ship used in the "Tholian Web"

Something like this:

Oh yeah! The Tholians! I can see that! Give it a little grille at the front, segmented cockpit glass, throw a truck look on that geometry, I like it!

Now add the "Wishbone" frame off the back that we can hang all the collectables and engines off of:

Not sure what "Truck look" would be, could you sketch something out?

I'm also looking for a sense of scale, how big do you see this being?

It's just got the kind of rivets and rust and grime you expect to see on a truck that's been plowing across the country nonstop. There's vents with gunk in them, some pipes have been replaced, maybe they stuck a bumper sticker or something like that somewhere, there's running lights with some pretty dim.

This thing is kind of a trash truck (I can just hear Fred Sanford's voice coming from it), the crew area inside is about the height-width of a truck container with some nooks at the edges (think Millennium Falcon).
