You mean when we get a sh*tload of money by ripping people off, not to mention the government? (legal aid in this country is ridiculous - UK BTW) LOL TBH I don't really like lawyers that much but the alternative was a physics degree and quite frankly the prospects for employement and money-grabbing are much better if I 'practice' law LOL.
Anyway this is getting seriously OT.

Diva Droid International� are the company that built and supplied Kryten along with most androids in Red Dwarf. There's a hilarious ep. where Kryten's 'replacement' arrives and it looks like a slyvester Stallone type with body armour and he can break a brick in half with his 'manhood'. The company logo is visible in the commercial for the replacement in that episode, don't have any caps right now.

Here's a new transport I've been working on. This is an adaptation/rip-off of a ship designed, I think, by Chris Foss which appeared in the old Terran Trade Authority book, Spacecraft 2000-2100. I suspect Foss based the ship's head on the Handley-Page Victor bomber/tanker ( http://www.wcremembered.co.uk/victors.html ). I want to put Bussards on this ship but haven't worked out where yet, though probably in pods faired into the ship's sides. I show it next to my Valley Forge, which is of the same time period. No name yet. Comments, please!

The bulge under the nose should be thinner than the primary hulls in the front view, like in the picture, to set it apart more. And then place the nacelles where those intakes are on the picture and make the struts and the nacelles a similar looking assembly to that.
Name? It reminds me of a small furry animal, how about Chinchilla (sp)

Is it me, or does the original look a lot like a bee viewed from the rear? And it may look better if that is, indeed, the rear of the new design...

I just discovered that in a second hand book shot; pretty good actually.

My dad flew those during the Falklands...
i like the way the design is shaping up; the aft nacelle looks slightly too 'fat' to me though.
