Here is a Ravenstar Orbital refueling station that I did up. I also did up 2 fuel scoop shuttles. It is normally stationed in orbit around a gas giant planet so it can use the fuel shuttles to scoop up hydrogen for processing. The shuttles are Studio Bergstrom "relic transport jumpers".

I'm happy to see that BP diversifies into liquid hydrogen in the far future!

I like it.

Nice! Didn't know these existed, have to add them to my fleet, eventually.

The nice thing about "space ship" models is that the scale is totally irrelevant.
It's even more flexible than dragons.

Yep. I try to keep the scale issue in check though.

Very well done, indeed, Bill!

Just the place to become an expanding cloud of gas after a visit from one of my TFN units. link

The lads DO hold a grudge… ;->=

One certainly can see the influence; Drew is wizard that way.

Yeah, they do have a resemblance. It was hard to find a small miniature that might do for a fuel scoop shuttle, but those were alright.

Oh, I think they're damn near perfect.

Only thing I might try is inverting, and putting a small cabin structure on top. *shrug*

Edit: Though, come to think, just about any jet fig, with wings cut back to air intakes, might work. As usual, greeble to taste…
