actually, the main reason I had to make it modular is because of the
center "neck" section. With two huge bulky ends attached to it, I'm sure it
would break if I tried to lift it. This is the reason my next ship will be
more solid. The Elegance was designed to be more of a passenger cruise ship
that would take civilians from earth to the outer planets and back. The
modular doors on the neck were added as a way to allow different companies to
dock goods and services modules to the ship while it travels. Or perhaps a
science crew could buy space on the ship and attach their own little lab to
work in, and then detach it when they reach the area they want to study, etc...
The next ship I make is going to be a military ship, so it will have a much
less "sleek, commercial" look.

I remember seeing your page when you posted it, particularily because it was
the one that convinced me it would be fun to create a fake company webpage for
my MOCs. How long before we can see the ship? After hearing about the
construction style, I am curious to see it.
cheers!
