I'm glad you actually got a copy of the thing. I hope you'll
post lateral and dorsal views--I'd like to get a look at that
curvature. Do you actually have enough 1x1 technic beams to
put your master plan into operation, and will the tiny gap
between the brickface and the half-pin's stud cause any problems?
(That's why I couldn't use that method to affix the panels to
FdG, but you're not dealing with heavy fairings.)

Good luck! A lot of the rooms in larger ships do straddle the
waterline, in part because the waterline varies depending on the
load the boat or ship is carrying. However, it wouldn't be a
problem if the upper section has to include part of the walls
of subsurface compartments, would it? There are no rules saying
that you *must* make the separation point a deck.
