True "insystem" is what I was thanking.

It does not matter if the vehicle is space only or earth launchable. And yes
our current technology may well be slow. But that same technology is known
to be able to create greater speeds. Just because the research is not
complete as to the details of a technology does not remove it from a
possible craft. The only thing that could not be modeled ad described for
the ships would be theory and unproven conceptions. The assumption is that a
technology we KNOW works now but has not been researched far enough to make
it efficient and effective is still a valid technology to be used.

It is not a real shop. At least that we would probably never get a customer.
One could always hope that some rich person or group would dump tons of
money on us to actually build a craft but hope is all we will have.

It is really a forum ad gallery of talented artist applying their skills to
a real and possible creation. In hopes that someone might just land work
doing something like modeling prototypes of airplanes or toasters.

Besides I really thank it would be neat. And some of these models might even
find their way into a movie or on TV.

POVRay is my preferred environment but I would not restrict it.

Any ship idea will work. Mining ships. Tourist ships. Cargo. Transport.
Military. Cruise. Anything. The use of the ship would also have to be in the
description.

Some one could also provide the station for orbit departures. Another could
provide the launch vehicle for earth transport.

To do this we would need a host and the web pages built. Then anyone wanting
to submit a ship would have to do so in a manner and then the ship would
have to be accepted given the need to stay with in current proven
technologies.

So I guess I am looking for interest and volunteers.
