Found it visually useful to keep the lines fairly thick while fiddling with placement. I want to try and get some material differences in the panels. Not sure how that'll work yet but the colors set out 4 variations which are non-adjacent

Legs swing down in a wide arc that closely matches the hull section so in 'real life' they would probably have to run along curved rails.

Tried some 'upturned bowl' kind of circular feet but they just looked ungainly so went with these Art Deco struts.

First try was 24 sides but went with 18, then doubled to 36 to provide enough topology for portholes. 3 cylindrical wells on underside where transparent bulbs (?) will be placed so some ‘propulsion drive’ details can be added.

Subdivision surfaces as usual. There’s 3 ‘engine’ hemispheres on the underside so just had to pick a suitable multiple for radial symmetry.

Based on the George Adamski lampshade hoax of course. Don't want to be too rigid and faithful about this though, I'll deviate where it suits me.

Took the opportunity to tweak and develop some areas, mostly the handle. UV map is done too.
