the O Miner

[Unseelie]

So this is the first draft of my first model ever, I'm posting because..well, I like posting.

The idea behind it is a ship that mines, but has a ring shaped beard that surrounds an asteroid rather than drills on the front.

Then a cargo compartment in concentric rings around a sphere pod engine.

The design theme I'm working on is a Bretonian idea, with plans to add extra armour plating around the torso of the beast with the batwing like angling you see on the clyde and hussar.

The engine emerged out of a concept I had about making a bret ship very much around the big ball engines they use as capitals, as a sort of transport with a small crew component and a large number of modular cargo units strung between the ball and a set of armour plating.

Anyhow, any ideas/pointers/critiques are appreciated. I'd like to move this more and more into the bretonian theme without kitbashing a ship.
