I'm not sure how Felix constructed his, but for modern
ships it's always a pain trying to get the flared bows
(a reason I stay with ships from 1918 or earlier). I
think I still have detailed pictures of one solution on
the mini-homepage for HMS Queen:

Look at the very early stages, before I cluttered it up.
I'm trying to recall off the top of my head who made a
stunning modern-day missile frigate with standard bow
pixellation (as in a contour with exposed brick corners,
hard to get away from if you want a curvature more complex
than a single plane of articulation)--it was red and grey,
and it looked absolutely excellent. There's also a
great new ship (well, I'm not sure when it was built, but
it's new to me, and it's gorgeous!) that you can find
on .boats--a heavy cruiser or battleship--and of course
the new cruise ship. The only downside is that very
few have taken pictures of their bows!
