You're thinking of Mark Sandlin's _Neverwhere_, I think--if you
haven't seen it yet, go take a look. It's wonderfully inspiring,
and still one of my two or three very favorite MOCs of all time
(if not still my #1).
I'll put it this way: If Mark's ship is a giant burger, you've
made a delicious Moon Pie. (Which is, to me, what it looks like.)
Can you tell who's been cutting back on the big meals lately? ;)

I really like it. I can see the challenge--the dishes don't exactly
have a lot of points of junction to build a stable structure from.
But I think it came out quite nicely; are there any gaps anywhere in
the structure, or is it closed all around successfully? Can you take
some "dissected" pictures to show us how it's built? I'm thinking
of appropriating it as inspiration for the Mk II EVA bugs for my
ship--the bottom would allow arms to fold under very nicely, and it
would define its own hull curvature splendidly I think.
