Hate the windows on the front and at that aft sector, but other than that, looks good.

Nice, I'm looking forward to this. I hope it will work fine and motivate more people to use detail boxes.

I can see one reason for not using detail boxes... it takes soo long to build a model with them  :lol:

For the Christmas Mood, not sure why the picture comes out blurry, the original jpg is sharp, must be photobucket.

But try to avoid using  detail boxes for really low-poly things. A detailbox for a 10 poly plate won't do much good unless you have thousands of them.

Actually I'm clumping beveled panels together, for example the outer wing section, the red bevels all twenty belong to one group.
