I've been away for a little while, but I don't know what enemies you have
here. NEway:)
Looks like Keppler Industries, Astro Lift Co., etcetera have some new
competition in the consumer spacecraft industry, eh? Any plans on a website?
Hmmm...this is your start in space building? These are my thoughts on
your model: The overall shape is very nice, IMHO, so much so that I'm going
to try my hand at it:)
The interior is well done and such a large propulsion system would decieve
the outside viewer. I like the 'pop-up' communication dish but not the
overpopulation of trans-antifreeze green antennae up front.
Also, about the thrust nozzles being able too change shape. Functional
thrust vectoring can be achieved with Lego parts, but claiming that solid
pieces change shape, even in an imaginative world such as Lego, doesn't go.
I also think the model would be greatly helped with working landing gear.
It is a good start:)

Post Scriptum: A 'Colin Gutierrez(sp?)/Mark Sandlin' based thrust
vectoring system is used for the main thruster on this model:
