I tend to think that the exterior of my models aren't quite there, so to
speak. I don't have the skill to make the lines that look so nice. Maybe in
a while I will be to that point...

My personal procedure is to plan the interior so I at least have an idea
about what I want to include. I then design exterior and interior together
as I build, working out the kinks as I go along.
I don't think that I've ever had a ship with a wide open space, other than a
cargo hold. I would like to have the Star Trek style open space in my
interiors, but it tends to eat up more ABS than filling the interior with a
bunch of cramped interior NASA type details. :-)
