I actually kind of like the porportions as they are although I do agree with
Chris Masi that the floor should be thicker around the blower housing and in
blue. Seeing that I am Blue Tile and Blue Plate rich at the moment I will
probably add some thickness there.

After I read this and looked I realized you were right. I went down and
modified the nose and it looks better now although I wish there were a better
way to taper the leading edge of the nose other than a 2x2 low slope. Some
sort of strange 4x3 peek slope would be great but I am sure we won't see that
in our lifetimes.

When I have time I will take some new pictures and post them.
