Yes, but suspension of disbelief is hard (and even harder for us here). The objects you design need to be able to do their jobs or have convincing explanations for why they look like what they do.

Moebius got away with a spaceship shaped like Dumbo from Disneyland's Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride because the technology that surrounded it was so advanced that a spaceship shaped like that was no big deal. Seemed perfectly doable.
