Beautiful render and scene! Just going on the name and 3 engine configuration maybe it was inspired by the original Palomino from the Black Hole movie? [link] Nah, that ship was just a eiffel tower-looking tuna can.

Yeah, I think the name of the model seems to indicate that Black Hole inspiration, but Kenny definitely took it in a more appealing direction on most counts.

Beautiful. I'd like one tourist class ticket on it , please...non-smoking.
A few years back I watched a bright star pass behind the rings through a telescope and watched it flicker and pulse as it went behind each ringlet 's density. Now I wouldn't mind a close-up view!

Great work. It's also very pleasing when some of the fantastic Cassini pics gets used for art of this quality.
