Here it is! This is also my most involved picture. The finish is deliberate
and the contast (between light and shadow) is meant to be the way it is.
Any comments are welcome. :)

Just a physics note:

Large flat surfaces are really hard to pressurize in space.  They tend to
bulge outward, that's why we see a lot of curves, spheres, cylinders, and
greebles on spaceships.   Squareishness is really useful for stacking lots
of objects, but it's not that useful for anything else, especially in the
unconfined reaches of outer space.

I would suggest that you surround your running lights with small spheres of
the same color as the lights.  See "looks_like" in the help.

Good effort... Please keep posting.

Yes, I know about the physics stuff but I figured that this was a spaceship
and was made out of some special material. Although I must confess, I
didn't think about it at the time of getting the idea! I was toying with
putting small spheres as running lights but didn't feel like it and figured
that the lights were just small and that's why they can't be seen!! gotta
love imagination! :P Thanks for the comments.

In my eyes, it's an unpressurised cargo ship cariyng loads of containers, and 
those are ether also unpressurised or have ribbed sides that are disigned to 
resist pressure.
