A space ship which uses dark matter as it's fuel. Apparently dark-matter makes up about 80-90% of the universe, which is convenient for this ship, since it's guaranteed to almost never run out of gas! It works on the idea that the black surfaces are an exotic material that is solid "real" matter but also permeable to dark-matter, allowing the ship to suck in this elusive fuel. How's that for freaky?!

I'm interested in doing some spaceships that are more vertical than horizontal. This is the first of what I hope will be many. Note: it doesn't have landing gear. Don't blame me: the Tie fighter started this "look at me-I don't need landing gear" stuff!

   My shed is the background and the ship is suspended from my camera tripod.

   Yeah, I know; not the best looking background ever seen...

   Boo! I can see the wires!

   Don't like the holes in the side of those click joints I used for engines.

   You can see the annoying gap between the canopy and the side of the cockpit. Luckily the piolt have their suit on!

   Looks retro side-on.

This thing isn't worth the "Dark Matter" left over after burrito night at the local YMCA (one of your favorite songs I hear. That and the Raining men one but we won't talk about that now). Later ~ Chris.

This is really cool. It looks like something off of Star Trek

Cool! But since the universe is infinite, there can really be no 80-90% of it, can there? Hmm?

Awesome build. You like fishy spaceships, don't you? This one reminds me a little of the fighter from the beginning of the Lost in Space movie (the only good part of the film). Also it looks like a Sunfish after a turn on the Rack.

Great job again! i don't know why i didn't see this before. vertical style wings are underrated and you pulled of the shape very well as usual. the colors are great too. i should make a ship that runs on dark matter...

Brave of you to make something this difficult to pose! I like the story behind the ship. Very unique design.(as far as i know)

Great ship, great concept - Not unlike the ships featured in Babylon 5. ;)
