The leading edge between the pods seems like it could have something a little

inside.
What stands out to me as the weak spot of the ship is the bridge windshield. It
blows the microscale implication of more detail by showing you that there really
is nothing in there. I'd rather see either some believable interior details
(very hard at this scale) or something that you can't see through as well.
I'll be watching for your next microscale!
