Mise a jour/update
Changed the main Hull quite a bit in terms of shape. Added the side wings main shape.

Are those exposed warp coils?

No, but I don't know what they are. I just wanted to do it. I am running on instinct here :) . Maybe it's a collector of dark matter or just a trap...to get everyone to shoot at this place first.
 
Is the central hull going to get any larger or is that it full sized?

I am thinking about leaving it like this. Somewhat disproportionated compare to the rest. It was either that or I was doing a way bigger mass behind the front part, like the Nostromos in Alien.

But I must say the round shape doesn't fit that well with the rest...I am still unsure about it. I might do some drawings on that...
 
It's certainly a pretty individual design, have you ordered a resin print of it yet from Shapeways? Will the central section support the outer hulls in real life?

If I have one criticism it's the panel detailing. It looks like you're just beveling and shifting the existing polygons to create 99% of the surface detail. It's a valid technique, very handy when you're first starting out modeling, but it's also kinda obvious and a little limiting. I'd love to see you not leaning so heavily on the technique for your next model, and cut in more custom detail using other techniques to create something really great.
 
I did two techniques: One was to bevel the lines, and I have also extrude the polygons surface. But I must say I was very shy in the second technique, I didn't put a lot of height and it didn't showed off enough. Something I will correct in the future. Thanks for letting me know.

No, I didn't order my model because I don't have the money. I am searching a job right now, after 3 months of heart sickness...so cash doesn't come has easy ;). I tried to put it at a size and price reasonable (Below 40$ and at least 5"). Eventually I will order it...but shapeways have a bug with my account and I can't open a shop. So I am waiting after that too...
