Work on the upper midship portion and gun bay.
I hate greebles. The more you add, the slower the program runs. So I have to come to a compromise about how much to add verses how much detail will be able to be seen from far moderately far shots. Too much small detail will be lost in blur. So I can forgo that. Although a little more detail could be applied forward of the atmospheric radiators in that blank space.

After importing my 6 foot sitting figure, I noticed how small this ship really is. The gun bay will probably be one open space for both cannons in a zero G environment. I've been developing the ship's captain and have ideas about the two crew gunners and may post art on them sooner or later. Plus I might call the ship the Coronet Lightening, which is the name of an Air Force exercise.

And I fixed the shadow problem. Amazing that sometimes the Help files actually do help. And I've been making copies for Moray/POV-Ray renders which will give me better control over texturing and lighting.
