This ship from Breathing Space, Fading Frontier makes me think a little of a horseshoe crab, just without all the legs. It’s got small cargo containers of various colors, and a transparent stand so it floats in the air, or, well, in space.

Back with another ship from Breathing Space, Fading Frontier. This one had some tricky details that made it ideal for a larger build. In particular, the eight small engines around the large one and the window to the reactor area would be tough at a smaller scale and might have to be dealt with more by suggestion than anything else.

Back again with some fan art for the podcasts Breathing Space, Fading Frontier. This is another model adapted from a ship design by Scott Paladin.
The engine area was particularly finicky with this, but it turned out rather nicely. The updated version here also includes a transparent stand. Parts should run under $10, though as always for small projects, it may be better to include them as part of a larger order to save on shipping and handling.
One of my favorite podcasts is Breathing Space, Fading Frontier. If you’re looking for socially conscious science fiction, it’s a hard show to beat. This is one of the ships from that show, adapted from a design by Scott Paladin.
