I figured out what's wrong with the nose.  It's too blunt.

I know you're going for different here, but I still think the nose looks a lot better when the lower part (with all the lights) is tapered back at something close to a 45 degree angle.  Right now it's almost facing directly forwards.  At least try it the other way, since most everything else up there (excluding the beam canon) is pretty close to the :v: model or Bob's details.

UPDATE:




@StratComm - are you sugestion I do the opposite - insted of a 45° angle that I should go for a 135°?
Interesing approach...

And yea, I just did a comparison myself and I see the differnece between the fron parts - on mine hte angle is somewhat bigger (or smaller, depends how you look at it really) since I do have a small part at the bottom that sorta rounds it up a bit..

I use angles relative to the major axis planes, so 135 would be a meaningless measure the way I'm thinking.  Make it more like the original Orion there.
