I was contemplating how to tackle a larger scale version, and I think I got very lucky with the pieces available at this scale. The combination of 41747/41748 and 41749/41750 allows for a very smooth bow section. 

To tackle a larger scale, I think the armor panels would inevitably be more blocky. The designer for the Munificent linked below did a good job in my opinion, but he had to create a stepped pattern to achieve the slope/taper at the scale.

With that said, I've learned that few things are impossible with Lego. Raskolnikov demonstrated that smooth curves can be achieved even at larger scales with his MC80. Unfortunately, my skills aren't on that level! 

...yet.

Hi, you did a wonderful job with this ship!

I've been into CIS ships as of late since I started watching the Clone Wars series and I built the official midi-scale Invisible Hand, so I've been searching for instruction for the Munificent-class.

At this scale yours is the best I've seen by far, but I haven't found it on Rebrickable or Bricklink, did you ever make the instructions for it?
It only occured just now that I could just ask you about it instead of spending three days reverse-engineering it from pics on your Flickr page (which I still did because I'm dumb xD, picture attached)

Cheers

I like the use of revolvers especially
