Description
This the latest (and probably final, at least for now) version of my Star Trek TOS-era civilian shuttlecraft. For the reasoning behind its design please see the previous WIP [link]

I've angled the wings/pylons up a little and adjusted the position of the warp engines so that they sit higher. This is meant to make the engine position look a little bit more like that of the Enterprise, i.e. a bit more 'Trek'.

I've given it a wheeled undercarriage (as suggested by BigTallDude) since it is both practical and makes it look like older technology than the Starfleet shuttlecraft. The wheel wells could use more detail, but they will hardly be visible in most renders so it will do for now.

I changed the shape of the back door because I realised that the original trapezoidal door was too wide at the bottom for it to slide open fully, given the limited amount of space inside the ship. The new shape looks better anyway.

I deliberately picked a rather plain font for the registration, as I wanted it to look practical and functional rather than funky and futuristic. The font is called Roadway and can be downloaded from K-Type [link] .

I was going to do more (e.g. change the headlights, add sensors and comms aerials), but that can all wait for another day. Now I want to start using it.
