Excellent, Nathan! I really liked the detail on the rear engineering door
and section. Also, if you wanted to, you can do like Tim suggested and add
a top and bottom tower. The towers don't have to be accessible, although a
tight jefferies tube would be way cool. Just put a "faux hatch" to access
the tower if necessary. And have it open (the tower) like a clamshell so
that you can show the guy shimmying up it. I just think it's cool to show
stuff like that. I attemped something like that in the forward inverse
"Com" tower for my frigate, but I ended up making it large enough to have
some deck space at each level. Still, it's one of my favorite features so
you may enjoy trying it to.
Overall though, I think you did a really great job, particularly for a first
one of this size. It took me 5 attempts to start getting mine built in a
way I liked, and I'm still a novice.
Well done! :^D
