making a ship with cloning and welding

This is the ship I made in class and I started with a box and then extruded a wing out of one side then I deleted a side of the boxed and copied it then I chose instance and mirrored it I then changed the wing to how I liked it then I started to extrude and bevel some parts of the ship then brought it closer and attached the two parts to make it one and then I used the bend and taper tools to give more of a rounder shape.

I think that the design is ok however I also think that if I had more time I may have been able to put more detail on to the guns so they are just extruded polygons  I like the texture I put on to the ship as well.
