Description
One of the things that is interesting about humans is how we never seem content with "stock" and always end up tinkering and adjusting.
Space craft seems to be no exception. For each ship that was designed for a specific purpose, there always seems to be someone who's got something slightly different in mind, and the willingness to see how to make that work.
Here a ship that was designed mainly to be used for prospecting asteroid and comets has been altered, perhaps only temporarily, to operate as a cargo-carrier, hauling modular containers to a small asteroid. Likely a resupply effort or perhaps to haul useful materials from the asteroid to wherever there's a buyer.
-------------
Ship and asteroid were made in Bryce, largely with my own textures, although a few of the "flat" textures are presets.
This started out as just goofing off, but ended up more of a struggle than I anticipated. Still, I like the over all design concept, and will likely adapt it for some other purpose myself.

Outstanding work on this scene you are oh-so-right on our ability to tweak our stuff!!!!
Fantastic image and modeling! I hope they can avoid that big rock. Corrie
excellent realization!!
Fantastic Modelling well done. Karl
All of the little gizmos,antennae,receiving dish, add verisimilitude to the space craft. Another fine model and render from you,Mike..
Very great image!!! And Happy Christmas to you and your family!!
Intriguing design! Nicely done!!
Another fantastic ship, Mike! And of course your skill with creating these space scenes makes the perfect showcase. You could make a fortune packaging these ships as 3D models.
Nice! Of course you'll modify it later, as will the owners of the ship...
Merry Christmas
NefariousDrO, U are the Space Engineer that every Fleet must have!
