Okay, this is crazy. The top ship on page six was actually created by one of our own, Werzbowski. The link is to the physical model created by John Douglass ( www.artships.com). No clue how it made it's way into the comic, but it is the same ship. No question about it.

Compare this pic to the artwork: 
From the comic: 
Even the little details are exactly the same.

Hotpoint & Artships Granite Gorge was also featured in the second story of the comic.

Holy crap. You're right.
Edited to add a scan from the comic: 
Methinks someone perused Artships' site for some "inspiration"...

Eureka! I do believe I have found the artist's inspirational site...

The Rolling Thunder, The Granite Gorge, The Autumn Jade, and two of the ships featured in 'Other Ships' all make a visual appearance in Float Out.

Woah...that's crazy!!!! I mean, it's one thing to put something in the comic as a homage to the fans, but that level of copying without so much as a line of credit to the original creators...hmm...
There's even yet another ship under "other ships" used in the comic...it's in the picture with the dozen or so models...
Wow...and most of the ships in the hull of the Reaver ship are from that same site...including Bellflower...
