I decided to simply re-do the whole thing from scratch..

this is what I got so far (I may end up making the cokpit like the Ezechiel ones...but I have to see if it fits with the rest of hte ship)

That shows a great deal of improvement.

the cockpit look fine to me. maby I'll angle it a bit more..who knows..

I'm workng on the nose and trying several possible variations... Will post pics of the variations later, once I have time to do that..

and hte best part is - it's made out of several different parts, each easy to texture, so I can make a far better map than I made before

[StratComm]

Much better.  I still think the sides of the fuselage could do with a little more in the way of physical detailing, but that's not nearly as much of an issue with the redesign.

[BlackDove]

Way way better.

@StrattComm... remind me a sec.. I forgot what part the fuselage is....

[mikhael]

That's the central hull, from the nose back to the tail. Usually contains the cockpit. Its the core consruct around which all air- and spacecraft which display bilateral symmetry are built.
