PHOTONIC CUT AND PASTE

I recently posted this gallery of different old images similar to the SpaceX Photonic Propulsion Space Station.

 

Thinking that SpaceX's concept may have been a composite of two or more of these images I've experimented bringing a couple together. Below is the finished result. On the left is a cut and paste hybrid of the four-armed station together with the red photonic spacecraft. On the right is the somewhat faded black and white illustration of the proposed SpaceX toy. What do you think?
