Time to board the Galactic Space Ferry Mariner !

Whether you’re commuting across the stars or just enjoying a scenic trip through the cosmos, you’ll be traveling in style on this journey! It sounds like the captain has a route planned through Mariner Valley on Mars, the ship’s namesake. Drop off your bags, head up to the passenger deck, and settle in. Read a book, do some crochet, or simply take in the sights!

Feeling hungry? Visit the galley on the lower deck, it’s stocked with a variety of snacks and beverages. Come aboard and cruise the stars! Looks like we may have even picked up a mysterious passenger along the way… and unknowingly made first contact!

About the model:

My build features three removable roof sections to access the cockpit and passenger deck, and the passenger deck itself can be removed to reveal the galley. The thrusters rotate 360° and are part of the landing gear system.

Inspiration:

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, riding the ferries to and from Seattle was always a highlight, especially on a beautiful day. This is my sci-fi take on that experience!
