Thanks Gil. :) I, too, love the tapered shape! That, along with the removal of the long angled wings, is an improvement over the design of the VIC, which after a while I found myself staring at and saying “That just doesn’t look PCS enough to me.”

And that front...yeah.. I have issues with it, too. The VIC originally had the cylindrical front that emulated the fronts of Giddens’ larger PCS craft, and it looked good! For this model, I wanted to mimic the dishes on the front of his ships, but nothing I came up with worked well with the cylinder. So off it came, and I clicked on the slope pieces. Maybe that wasn’t too good a call, but meh.

Criticism always appreciated. I’ll see what else I can come up with for the nose.
