If you model goes under the quallity of your texture work (as seen in Ent-E), then it will be one of the bests.
About the shuttle bay, look at Madkoi tuts (see his site). The tuts explain "how to" in a good way (see the "Fantails/Shuttle Butts etc" tut)

About the saucer, I can help you a bit. See my simple tut:
