That ship is a beauty! The form, the details!

The only (visual) problem I have with it is the square-y (word?) blockiness
of the opening around the pod.

The other problem with it is, that now that I've seen it, I just can't sit
down and try to build a spaceship of my own. I don't have the parts, I don't
have the ideas, I don't have the skill...

Once again: Beautiful!

This was the toughest thing about the design. I didn't try to fight it (much). I
wanted to have wide viewports on the sides and yet have the pod/bubble be low
profile, which meant it had to be lowered and look sealed onto the ship. Using
snotted arches to conform to the circle seemed like a good idea, but that left
gaps as well.
