As far as color scheme, I confess I didn't have anything in mind aside from making a nice B&W image, so any interpretation is valid. These days I think I'd lean more towards something like a brightly colored aircraft livery - especially for ships that can land (and thus have their exteriors easily viewed).
What app did you model this in?
Back when I actively played Traveller I was instantly hooked by just a few outstanding images and your Frontier Transport watered an a colony world with the sun going down in the background, the skyline of a city on the horizon and the action in the foreground was definitely among the top two or three images where I couldn't even decide which I liked best. Thanks for this superb inspiration, Rob.
So I will play a bit with two or three color variations I have in mind and keep you up to date
As for the app I use. I am on a tight budget and I use Blender for almost anything 3D by now (it used to be Cinema 4D in the past). Blender is an amazing piece of software - once one get the hang of it. I would probably continue using it even if I could afford 3D Studio MAX, Maya, Modo or C4D.
I've heard good things about Blender, but currently I'm looking at picking up my skills in Hexagon.
Well I plan to donate one image featuring the Frontier Transport to the 2013 Calendar. Perhaps a 3D remake of your drawing but with a different camera angle? A shift in perspective... But I have to see whether it thrums my artistic strings.
