This is a "beauty shot" of a model I made. Original image from 1998, revamped 2004. Makes a decent wallpaper. A tongue-in-cheek description follows.

Okay okay. No such vehicle exists, but I'd certainly want one if it did. This original model began as an attempt to replicate the vehicle you drive in the old Atari coin-op video game S.T.U.N. Runner. However, since I was working only from memory, it wasn't turning out accurately, or so I figure. Then I decided that it should fly, not just skim the surface, so I modified it further.

Then, just recently, I was talking with my brother ~noviwan, and he was telling me about this game Freelancer he's been playing. A space combat simulator or so I understand. Anyway, he said that he thinks there's some way to add ships from your own models. He also said each ship comes in a base model with two upgrades. He mentioned my old Psi Devil as a possibility, and that inspired me to work on the model. I turned on the headlights, added the "blades", fiddled with the cockpit and center spike textures, and added a little cockpit detail. I played around with adding more gun mounts, which the game would require, but for the deviation I feel they took away from the overall appearance. Oh, and of course upgraded the galaxies to newer, higher-quality photos. NGC 1365 is the lower galaxy, and the upper galaxy is known as the Tadpole Galaxy. The model was shaped in Truespace, modified, textured and rendered in Bryce.

My original image I turned into a scrap that can be found here.
