I've given that some thought previously, and haven't actually built anything,
but since you asked... :)
I found a closer-up version of the ship (note that this is a rendering done
by folks other than Foundation or Netter Digital, so it's not specfically
canon, but it's dang close...) that'll give you some better detail on the
nose:

The things that it brings out that the photos you had in your reference
section didn't:
1) The sides of the front hull look more like huge metal plates grafted to
random stuff than they look like integral parts of the body. I was planning
on using the new click-hinges and building those plates similarly to the
TIE-Interceptor set.
2) The BIG guns on the side are much simpler than you're doing. Instead
of a Star Wars Gun, I'd replace that unit with a "headlight" brick and
the stud of a 1x1 round brick pressed into the "back" of the headlight.
Partsref calls those parts 4070 and 3062b. I think this'll be right with the
scale you're working on. Perhaps they need to migrate forward a stud or
two.
3) The 1xn plates sticking out the front are a good idea, but I think they may
be a little long.
All things considered, it's a far sight better than my Star Fury model ever
hoped to be.
