I called it the Dolphin, for obvious reasons, and with the shape and Scuba style colouring it also looks like a fancy submarine. I played on that a bit and also made the engines look a bit like impellers as well.

Space fighter, or submarine, its 50/50
I had a couple of spare afternoons at work, so I knocked up a little space fighter to get back into Lightwave and pass the time. A guy I know on Flickr made a painting of lots of little fighters chasing another ship through an asteroid field, and one of the ships caught my eye as it had an interesting shape. I made the basic shape, then started tweaking and enhancing and detailing it. This is the (nearly) finished result, it just needs some decals and maybe some colour changes.

Re: Space fighter, or submarine, its 50/50
I like the lifting body aspect of it, though the engine set up reminds me of the microfighters in SW that I don't like so.... to each their own.

Feels like it ought to be underwater to me, a nice aqua Caribbean sea, with whatever you call this effect

Re: Space fighter, or submarine, its 50/50
Very nice, but I think it's better as a personal mini-sub than a space fighter. Although in the vein of a personal submarine, a space based society might have a similar type of personal space craft, just for having fun.

I plan on doing a scene with lots of 'caustics' all over the place to make it look underwater, but I also want to do a little aerial or space stuff as well.

Has kinda a "Seaquest" feel to me.
What was the name of the mini-sub?

I never watched the show, it sucked a bit too much for my liking. Someone told me the little subs were called whiskers or stingers or something.

Sorry for the delay, busy weekend.
The aft end with the duel nozzles looks a lot like the Jedi Fighter from AOTC to me. Though the lifting body is really nice and I like the sweeping tail, the engines look to small for the build and being recessed just look off. Usually my complaints about the Ethersprite (pretty sure that's the AOTC ship's name). Don't get me wrong, in general your model is really cool.
