Thanx, still pondering on the colour scheme of it, though, because of the
limitations of my collection.

There is only one side which is stuck to the hull using different pieces of
which I don't know the name used by builders (two studes on top, four
sicking out on the side, would be my description). I used ten of those and
four Technic pins. On the Gunboat I used only Technic pins to connect the
smaller quarter saucers. The side of the Sheffield which can be taken of to
open up the two lowest levels of the three-level interior is connected using
the same mechanism with which the wings of the LEGO version of the standard
Imperial Tie Fighter are connected to the cockpit, only times four. I think
the pins which stick out can be seen here:

outside can be found on the overall page of course:

As you can see in the pictures above the inside part has one wall, onto
which the non-detachable SNOT side is detached.
Thanx for the praise. I hope you get some idea how the Sheffield works.
