Edit: Added some shader domains before I forget. :)

Versatile! It looks cool and like a aircraft or spacecraft. Also has a good design for display in different styles ... line drawing, cartoon, realistic.

Let's see a version with SDS all over please. I think it will look good with the current angular look to sleek looks.

Well, I would have to add edges to it, so things that I think should remain straight remain that way.

I'll get around to it, but working on model number two now. :D
