I have a copy of that issue. At the bottom of page 52 it’s noted: “ ABOUT THE COVER: The ship, a three man atmosphere and surface-to-orbit craft, is being used in the search for rare minerals in the asteroid belt. The rock texture in the painting was achieved by spraying color on to crumpled paper, then flattening the paper and painting it to the already painted background”
More than a simple saucer with those intakes. A.I. may infer 3D prints from 2D images soon.
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean.

ReplyDeleteFab JD! I totally see the crumpled paper!
DeleteI think there's a tin toy spaceship that looks like this.
