[Ship Request] Taipan Fighter
I have tried building the Taipan Fighter from Elite Dangerous, but I have a long way to go before I'm at that level.

I have a few references for anyone keen and/or willing to take on the task:

I tried putting the second one through a boxel converter with a few different levels of detail and none of them gave me something that would be even remotely simple to work with to get the right kind of detail for a 200-block fighter. Then I tried just building it from scratch, and I'll be honest, getting the right shapes is still a daunting task. I got as far as the engine blocks at the rear and some of the fuselage before getting stumped by the cockpit shape. I might get back to it at some point, I have it saved, but I'm sure someone out there could do it better than me.
