Turtle, crab, and moose. I didn't read any replies yet.
This is great looking. Very different too. Unfortunately the drawing part
seems, well, drawn on... except maybe where the highlights are.

Groovy!!!
Would do nice in the Delta-quadrant.
As for the competition: I'm guessing a lobster-disguised-as-a-turtle and
a hippo-disguised-as-a-turtle.
BTW: the print, is it just for show, or is it functional. In other
words, are there any meaningful details (door, window, hubcaps...)?
I'm not very much into spacecraft (probably OD-ed on StarTrek) but this
is a nice looking object whatever it is.

And the answers are:
Goldfish, Turtle, Crab, and Nautilus (this is shown on the bottom of the
model :).
And yes, it was a trick question.
All of these are aquatic, thus the streamlined and just plain wet look
of the thing.
By the way, moose was an excellent guess, and not one I previously saw
in the model. As to *what* it is, lets just say its an alien aero-space
fighter that uses a reactionless drive. One other note: The texture on
the top of the fighter looks like a funky mask! Really!
Thanks for all the comments.

I know. It's a function of the bump_size.

Come, now. You didn't even guess?

I assume that means they are arbitrary in which case it wouldn't matter
even if Remco could read an alien script. <g>

I'm thinking the moose antlers would make it do back flips all over
space...
The crab claws look aerodynamic and give a good control factor...

And modelled in GUM, probably. Textured using mage_maps made in PSP
using your famous "paint on the projection" technique, right?
