Hmm, nice idea with the Minotaur Bullet!
Looks like a pretty good start, though I would smooth it out a bit. There are some sharp edges.
Good start though, and good choice.
On the other subject, I agree visually horrific isn't necessarily the scariest way of doing things. A good psychological scare is great too... but trying to convey that in a still image is going to be hard. But would be great if pulled off. I think with a render a lot of it is going to come down to lighting, placement, and generally building a good atmosphere.
Anyway, good luck Bullet.!

"Earth? Earth-with-nuclear-weapons Earth?"
"Yes."
