Solar System Cargo Carrier

I've been meaning to post some of my work for a long time, but between work, kids etc, I've never gotten round to it. However, to mark the anniversary of the first steps on the moon 43 years ago this month, and as a hommage to the movie that started my love of all things space related (2001) I have decided to build (and post) my own 'solar system' transporter. A small fleet of such ships will be responsible for keeping the first colonies in the solar system stocked with supplies and personnel, as well as ferrying materials mined from the asteroid belt to the factories and manufacturers throughout the system.

This 'Command Module' was already in production before I decided to post a thread, so apologies for having some work done to it already. This is merely the front end, and is very heavily influenced by the Discovery ship from 2001. Lots more to build and attach.
