Work Study: Verge Manta

I've decided to go ahead with pre-production for a Star Traders webcomic. This is pretty involved, with LOTS of drawings of different pieces of equipment, characters, etc to show me how things are supposed to look. So don't look for it anytime soon. Also writing an outline and script since its going to be done more or less like a real comic (hopefully). I won't be doing full model sheets for EVERY ship or vehicle but the main or "hero" elements have views from every angle it could be viewed from.

The first model sheet is for a noncanon ship I'm introducing to the Shalunverse. If Andrew would like to eventually include it to the ship compliment,by all  means. But It's not really necessary. The Verge Manta is a small ship outfitted to be one sneaky sumbitch. Its main drawback is that its unique. No one that encounters it will have seen anything like it before. There are reasons for this that will be revealed later on.

The 'Manta has two torpedo tubes and a pair of forward firing weapons. The leading edges of the wings fold upwards on landing, which it accomplishes via hovering with the nozzles of its sublight engines pivoted downward and opening a pair of ventral ducts in the forward port and starboard side. The class has a nominal compliment and berthing for ten.
