A small corvette

Love it. They have a sort of anime flavor to them that I like. Are you going to have them available for download, especially for Poser and Daz?
Great cutaway drawing! Is the bridge on deck one (the top level)?
Yeah, I'm going to have to expand that hangar a bit, it fits a standard shuttle fine but the Star Stallion is longer.
The bridge I think will be on deck 3.

Wow, that shuttle is outstanding! It reminds me of the the WW II landing craft at Normandy. Any chance the front-snout drops open for cargo and/or personnel to disembark?
I held off for a long time commenting on this thread because even though I was a huge fan of Franz Joseph Schnaubelt's Technical Manual for years and considered it canon for a long time, eventually I found myself agreeing with Gene Roddenberry's design guidelines for Federation starships. That included his stated preference for even numbers of nacelles. Despite that, this is a really neat looking ship and it keeps getting better. It would be neat to apply these design concepts to something like a TOSified Oberth.
What are you using to create these images?
Count me in as favoring a thicker "saucer", to provide for more crew quarters. Where is the bridge going to be? Any chance of putting a done directly behind the fin-like structure aft of the dish?

@publiusr - the Linus Pauling is a little ways down the road, I should really try and finish one of these lol...
@Wingsley - I hadn't planned on a cargo door to the front for the Star Stallion, but you never know, maybe a variant will do that. I use 3D Studio Max 2010 and photoshop.
Small update, started on some texture work so I can figure out where to place my last lights. There's a little error in the texture under the navigation light there, but I'll fix that before the next round.

Wow! 
Awesome work LordSarvain!!! I love this corvette!!!!
Can I just say: I like all the iterations of this that you have produced thus far - particularily the one with the oval / elipse deflector dish.
Sooooo wanting a model of this
Well done!!!!!

Another update, still working on textures and lights...
Some more texture work, reworking the lights and I came up with a drawbridge door for the hangar as that seemed the best approach for that opening without resorting to clamshells or force fields, which I wanted to avoid.
