From the "what the hell is Adrian going to build next?" file, comes this, a minifig scale model of the 87' Marine Protector class Coast Guard Cutter. It's on the town page.

I especially like the way you've de-emphasized the pixellation of a non-SNOT hull (necessary to get those stripes, I imagine?) by curving the upper deck and rails; it's very, very effective.
