I think it needs more seats! If you have two more helicopter windsheilds,
maybe try extending it 4 studs?

Agreed...they're not beefy enough. Perhaps doubling up the skis would make
it look better? Or use surfboards, pod racer vane thingies, or those 1x2
bricks with hole and ski (forklift fork, etc)

I'm more impressed by 3D greeblies vs. printed greeblies, but printed parts
are a good way to preserve smoothness while adding detail. Recessed widgets
(so that they're flush with the smooth surface) would be even cooler.

As long as you use different colors for different functions and don't
overuse trans parts, I think multiple colors works fine.

Gray and white work fine for a light colored, unimposing spaceship. What
else would you use if you were trying to build a more exact copy of the
moonbus? Gray by itself is too dark, and white by itself often looks too
sterile.
