Update2: 200dt EmpressMarava Far Trader (WIP)

Wanted to do this ship for a while. But time aint plenty these days.

Based on a drawing by Arcas-Art [link]

There's work to do but it's taking good shape I think.

BTW: Is there anybody here who can point me to a view of the ship's stern?

New updates will follow soon.

Update2:

Cargobay door now resembles a roll up gate. The crew hatch, cockpit windows and lounge window now also feature rounded corners but require more tweaking. The gap in the top antenna pod is closed. The small window and keypad next to the crew hatch have been added, the ACS-Thrusters, the sensor bulges beneath the crew hatch and other doodads were added.

I added the top-down silouette of the 3D model so perhaps that helps on my last comment below (the most important part of that follows here):

Question:

Looking at the various deckplans (unfortunately not of the Garu Class with side cargo airlocks) I found using Google I have the impression the bow section on my model is too streched and the stern a bit too short.

However my attempts at scaling these portions to fit any deckplans destroyed the similarity to Rob's drawing which is the reason I wanted to model the ship.

So probably I need to do my own Deckplan to make things fit.

I think most deck plans are tailored to fit the 1.5m grid and paper formats regardless of the artists visualization.
I'm truly interested what you Traveller folks think:

Stick to a plan or to a visual depiction of a vessel?

(sorry for spamming youir watch with this WIP)
