The latest odd and awesome spaceship from Rob (dasnewten) is this unconventional “light fighter/reconnaissance type” vehicle.
As different and equally cool as they both are, this could almost be from the same space force as Joel Larsson’s Sleipnir.
Rob (Dasnewten) has built a gorgeous gunship inspired by ships in Homeworld:

The shape and detailing on this are superb and not in the least over or under done. I came close to blogging his work-in-progress version but I’m glad I waited as this is definitely [...]

A while ago Rob M, or Dasnewten, revealed a good-looking fighter, fantastic in its dark grey glory:
It’s a beauty to be sure, and he even made a few variations on it. I like them all – Rob really shows that a good design can be pulled off in several colour schemes:
And then, just because he [...]
