Agood example of both greebled and smooth too can be seen throughout
Ken-tucky Works. He buildds almost all his ship in a similar fashion;
"structure, starwars-like pipings(greebles), and skin." His style blends the
greebles and the smooth into a very clean and detailed microfig ships.

I see that many 'heavy fighters' are just a little cockpit connected to a
big engine/laser/sensor complex.  But in mine, everything is on the outside,
with the inside reserved for living space.  I wonder what that difference
would be called...

well,
there are basically two 'kinds' of design:
1) greebled, machinery, "dirty" look
2) smooth, sleek, refined, "clean" look

#1 shows up in a lot of movies like Aliens, et al
where you see lots of greeblies all over everything.

#2 shows up in things like the Naboo queens' ship and
the naboo fighter.

if you look at j0n's Bison you'll see both smooth AND
greebly and here's where you get the big CLUE.

if you use smoothness w/ gaps and greeblies in the gaps
you get teh best of both designs. For me, smooth = $$$$
and if you can't afford to conceal all the werkings, then
you end up seeing the greeblies. (i.e. the rich minifigs
would smooth out their ships)

if u look here:

u can see some pics of both techniques in non-lego design

hope that helps
