Kortul Model Upside Down?

A question of perspective...

from Sins Forums
I was looking through the units last night and noticed this. It looks to me that the Kortul is inverted, the ship looks sleeker and more menacing when observed from the bottom. Observe:

Here is the Kortul:



Here we have the Kortul again:



Was this a mistake? Or maybe if enough people prefer the inverted ship we could change it easily? Which one do you all like better?

My vote is for the top picture.

The top one indeed looks much better ^^
And that is the bottom side? i would´ve never noticed.
Good job spotting that, lets flip that ship

not to spark argument, but the pointed, wide and large view of the bottom one (despite your biased photoing) looks much better.

Well, there is no real up or down in space
Whichever way they fly is up and everyone else is down.

Its the Vasari way!

Running Tally so far:

Flip it: 3

Keep it: 1

Maybe the ship is just so powerful that it moves around 'upside down' relative to the rest of the fleet as a handicap?

We may never know...

Take another picture with proper light sourcing on each side.

I took some more pictures, I'm not quite sure what everyone considers to be proper lighting...this is as good as I can get right now:

The Kortul:



The Giant Space Fork:



As before, no editing or photoshop...

As things stand, the major difference in those photos appears to be that one side is lit by a direct light, and the other isn't.
