3DCargo Ship

Some time ago, I created a cargo ship based off of Beth M. or Guentari's designs. You can find the model here.
I think I did an okay job. I used many of her components to make the ship appear as if it was in her Almera universe. It was a fun build and a fun ship. It followed many of the design cues of some of my early work and it was nice to relax back into familiar ship design standards.
But, it didn't follow my design standards. So, I'll try again.
My intent here is to build a simple, small ship from the structure outward. I'll follow the same design cues as the first one, but I'll use my own set of controls and computer components for interior details, and I'll make a great deal of the interior components.
As usual, some pictures of my work so far and an imgur album

So, I've made a few attempts at this design. The first looked like this:
The second looked like this and is available for download here
This second version uses the same control setup that I will use for this new ship.
The entire design history is here on my imgur page
Thanks! Art Deco is one of my favorite design styles, for starships especially. The Starship Titanic designed by Oscar Chichoni for the game and book of the same name is by far my favorite ship design and was done in the Art Deco style to great effect. The whole future-retroism feel is a really great way to make people stop and think just a little bit about the thing they're looking at.
I'm afraid that the Art Deco feeling of this ship will slowly erode as more detail is added, especially to the exterior. But, this ship is part of a liniage that begins with my inspiration to do this at all, which starts in Mr. Chichoni's studio.
The main cargo door was a challenge mechanically. In the end, I cheapened out and thickened the hull by 3X to allow the doors to pass inside of the hull. it's cheating in a way, but it gives the ship a stockier look which I like and saves me a lot of thinking and mechanics.
