Which model looks more like a Traveller grav vehicle?

That cool

Mind this is just my unsolicited opinion but here goes:

I do a lot of cardboard modeling for scenery and 'props' for tabletop RPGs, with so many free paper models available online, might I suggest considering an air-raft design of your own creation ?

One of the best free paper model sites is Spacestation42.com (http://www.ss42.com), if one chooses to poke about I'm certain a suitable candidate will be found for conversion to an air-raft or other grav vehicle.

I'm planning on doing my own line-art (such as my Trepida posted earlier in this thread) based on the 3D resin minis I have purchased. I already took top-down and side photos of them for reference to use in a CAD program. Why do such a thing when I already have some minis? First, as artwork for my Terran Dawn campaign guide. Second, the top-downs can be scaled and printed, mounted on cardboard for extra minis if I need them. That way, if I want to have five grav apcs involved in an encounter, I don't need 5 actual resin models. Why have resins when I can create my own papers? They are cool, my players will like seeing an example in 3D, I can afford to have all PC vehicles in actual resin, and it may be fun learning how to paint them (already bought a used airbrush compressor).

The hover tank looks like it is more suited to 2300AD than to traveller. The Grav tank however totally works!

Here's a superbly painted platoon of the Topgun Marketing 15mm Grav Tanks, for your viewing pleasure:

These are the Type 9 Light Grav Tanks with the smooth-hulled finish, but they can also serve as Medium Grav Tanks, with short-barreled weapons, if you prefer.

They were painted by Richard Meaden, who did a very nice job of creating a unique camo. scheme, numbering system, and unit badge for
these ultra-high tech vehicles.

Check the links for some more great photos of these, from different angles, as well as some unpainted vehicles with the AADS, or Active Armor Defense System, which is an automated vehicle self-protection system of the future.
