Description
Located five months after disappearing during a freak electrical storm,Shuttleflight 292 was found abandoned on a desolate desert planet known as Mauritania by a trio of prospectors exploring the dunes for hidden deposits of Tirillium.The landing was apparently a fairly rough one,the craft slumped to the left,it's landing gear torn off.Scorch burns to the rear engine were proof of a fire,probably as a result of an electrical strike.There were survivors,the scattered debris of water and supply containers attesting to that,but with little shelter from the incessant heat other than a make-shift canopy of onboard blankets they wouldn't have survived for long.The on-board log's last entry stated the remaining three crew were going to attempt a trek to a distant mountain range some ten kilometres away,in the hopes of finding water and shelter from the scorching heat.No trace of them has ever been found.
All items created in Bryce 6.1,shuttle is an old model I revamped and re-textured in presets combined with textures from cgtextures.com.Small details and some touch-ups done in postwork,as was the swirling sand and signature.Distant planet is a freebee from egehlin.Thanks for viewing and comments.

Very nice work indeed! A lovely Sci-fi image with that 'adventure movie cosiness' tucked in there too! Great at full size.
Great scene and textures, especially on the shuttle. Nice story too.
Outstanding !
Very nicely done
I love good sci-fi. You've captured the desolation very well.
Excellent work Neil. You really capture the desolation and lonliness of distant places - something future explorers will have to deal with.
Thanks for this story : ) . Again a great work from you. I can't say anything else. A great movielike scene!
Fabulous image Neil, great modelling and use of textures. I agree with e-brink that your comments sets the scene for a great movie. A fav for sure. Tony :-)
Excellent scene and story behind it!
Nice work on this, very well composed. The textures look really good.
Wonderful looking scene, well worth a full size look. Impressive barron landscape. Me likes!!
Fantastic scene !!!!
Wow, just wow!:)
Great work. I particularly like the ground texture. Very good modelling work, as usual.
Agree with geirla!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent work!!
Excellent. I like it!
Great scenery of SCIFI. Very well composed. Excellent textures.
Nice work, great feeling of abandonment and isolation.
Terrific scene, competent texturing, and the little shelter on the far side of the foreground craft really brings the storyline together. The rope supports and used canisters are effective bits of detail as well. Nice work all around!
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great sci-fi image.Fantastic textures on the ship.
Super image and great modelling Neil! Super work!
Great scene and mats.
Stunning image - great atmosphere. I really wouldn't want to be abandoned there!
Looks like somebody is lost on a desert planet..... I like this impression !!
I love the lonlyness of this image
this is wicked....sure my FAV!! :-)
Wow, again great image Neil Love the makeshift tarp! Looks wonderful. Great work with the debris and the sand blowing, wonderful mood. The only thing I don't like is are the windows on the ship, with the reflection it looks like there isn't a cloud in the sky, but when looking at the image its very dusty... looks funny to me. Other than that, love it Jake
Nice SF
