2-3-4-5 is the width variation "stacked" on top of each other (or stacked
"sideways" since there is a lot of SNOT). In this picture you can see
spacing widths of 6,5,4,3,2 and 1 stud width, all centered along the
vertical axis, and all contained within 2.3 bricks height:

Looked at another way, if you drew a line down the vertical center of this
picture, you can see spacing of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 (the edge
of the front nacelle) 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 studs from the center axis. In
addition, the upside down mounted piece at the end of the rear nacelles
gives the impression of a 2.75 and a 4.25 stud spacing from the center axis,
and the same piece in the front nacelle gives the illusion of a 1.75 and
3.25 stud spacing from center.

All told, when seen from the rear, it could be argued that there are 28
vertical lines of "resolution" packed into the 10 stud model width!

I'll partially disassemble the model and take some shots to show the
construction techniques.

I look forward to your variant too!

It's already finished, just need to format the photos....
