Update; Slowly finishing the lower bow section. the biggest details are there now on the section. Perhaps I'll add some more smaller detailing later but for now I'll move on to the top section of the hull.

For the bow thrusters I wanted to add some articulation but keep the mechanics as simple and solid as possible so I came up with something similar to the heater of a car, a cylindrical structure for horizontal rotation and movale fanes for vertical rotation. Some small extra detailing is needed arpund the circumference of the rotatable pod. A loooot of time went into editing the triangualtions of the pod sections after slicing and beveling the cog teeth, that's still not finished but I'm seriously considering outsourcing that crap to some indians

There some small verteces to fix around the housing of the engine pod as some points got miraculously misplaced
