But i can't figure out how to really build the hull. So if anyone has any ideas they would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Start with a basic rectangular brickbuilt hull, then add SNOT plating on the sides, upside-down slopes for the bottom part of the front, and a plate angled by a hinge piece for the top front.

there are several parts of that vehicle that look EXACTLY like lego parts allready. shouldn't be too difficult after you get the frame the correct size.

The second one is my favorite, but I'm not sure whether it's the most accurate.

Yeah its this new thing my school is doing for 11th and 12th (grade) its called AP any way its collage level classes and at the end of the class we all talk a test if you pass it with a high enough score you get a collage credit. For a example of how hard the work is last weekend for home work we had to read 100 pages (to the page not one more not one less) and then write a summery sentence for each paragraph (this was AP history not English but its the same idea collage level)

Yeah... that is what I am doing. :D
