Someone in the Free League forums asked about space-craft for company executives. I found a couple of models in my collection that would fit the bill for executive shuttles, the larger one is suitable as a small trans-light ship, while the smaller one makes an attractive short range shuttle.

Mantis Class Cargo Vessel
This is another redo as a technical drawing. There are some differences: I've paid closer attention to scale, included some metre rules, and left the details of the decks largely blank for other to fill in according to their own requirements.
It is a different concept of the vessel than that in the CMOM, so you should consider it a civilian version. For my own needs, this is going to be a law enforcement ship. I have also treated the aft section as a detachable life-boat. It retains the auxillary fuel cells and auxillary thrusters, but not the aft thrusters.

Roc Class Transport Ship - Ready to Customize
Another re-do but with the details kept blank for you to customize with your own name and deck details. By my reckoning, the hull is about 75 meters in length (you can get a feel of the scale from the seats on the flight deck).
Level 1, the main cargo deck, is 4.5 meters high, while Levels 2-4 are 2.5 meters high, while the decking is 0.5 meters.
The main platform that lowers to ground level, called "The Box" has it's own airlock door, the housing of which extends up into Levels 2 and 3. At the back is a large platform list that raises up to the aft airlock on Level 3.
Level 3 also has an airlock on the port side.
I've placed the main habitable volume, with the rest of the volume intended for engines and ship systems.

An Alternative APC and Mobile Command Vehicle
A couple more images - both of these models had interiors I was able to render and do some cut-outs for. The first is an alternative APC design with a little more ground clearance than the classic one from Aliens. Then there is a heavy mobile command vehicle. I was thinking of using both of these for the Royal Marines.

Some more faux technical drawings
I'm not going to abandon the faux computer displays, particularly for on-line games. However, they aren't good on the old eyes and really aren't printer friendly, so I'll be doing things the other way around now, starting with the faux drawings and then converting them to computer displays when needed. If someone would like a green computer display of one of these, post and, if I've some time, I'll see what I can do.
Some of the selection below are repeats that I've improved a bit, with some new examples.

Here are a couple more images. One is the mech loader as a drawing, the other is a car in both green display and a drawing.
