These model images relating hopper to final Starship are great too:https://twitter.com/kimitalvitie/status/1082424778810712064QuotePut my 3D modeling skills to work and created an image how @SpaceX's finished #StarHopper and #StarShip could look like based on reference images and @elonmusk's tweets. Those things are massive!@Erdayastronaut thought you might like as well#bocachica

Have to say I didnt expect this kinda response when I posted the last pictures. Thank you for your support!I've spent my day pushing new images and models so there is more to come.#spacex #space #bocachica #starship #starhopper #superheavy @elonmusk
Mine Starhooper versions

It might make sense to have fixed surfaces that match the approximate dimensions of the cargo containers on the hopper for better aerodynamic fidelity though, in case there's any weird differences between having them and not having them affecting engine relights or what have you.
I thought two of the fins would be movable. Doesn't look like it on the Hopper version. I thought they would test side entry with the Hopper version, since it was supposed to act like a skydiver.
