Well, I may be able to help you, but I'd have to have more information to help
you in any meaningful way. The sneak-peek pictures would definitely help, as
well as a more detailed description of what you're trying to achieve. Any
examples of your work previously built would also help.
One thing I've learnt is that using fins as a part of the superstructure can
greatly reduce the boxiness of a vessel. If you've a hinge, some plates, and
bricks, they're easy to construct. Changing the level of the horizontal plane of
parts of the ship also helps, and can easily be done with just plates and
bricks.
Just as a general tip, dump all of your pieces on the floor or some other
surface. Grab ANYTHING that you think might be of use. I've been amazed at what
one can build just by playing around and putting together random parts. I would
suggest assembling greebly structures exclusive of your vessel, and just playing
around with different looking things. You may get an excellent idea.
