Hey, thanks Peter! :^) I really tryed to pay attention to the flow of the
hull and the color scheme in this one. My initial concept sketches had the
"Belly" module in place - in reality it was supposed to completely
integrated, but I think some level of modularity is kind of useful. As it
stands, the ship can operate without an additional module on it's stomach,
so that's why I wanted to show the ship as is for now. The bay door on the
little service bay would have to be removed to accomodate a new module perhaps.

You're right - You should look at my 'in progress' pics where the top deck
has not been added yet. It really looks ho-hum at that point. Well, it's
still a work in progress because I am waiting on some more parts for the
modules that I described. I will see what I can do to clean the
undeneith-sloping up while I wait to aquire more of the necessary parts for
my modules.
What I would really like to do is have the belly module have some-what
inverse-sloping sides, sort of like Mark Sandlin's industrial automation
freighter, where that "guppy-like" grey cargo hold sloped inwards and
downwards. A blue version of that (without the 1/4 domes) with a white
stripe and lotsa greebles should look pretty snappy. It would also tie the
ships lines together a bit better. Thoughts?
