Screw all those "cheese pieces" and panels w/o studs, all you need is good old bricks and plates. Ace build.

I love how he even left the bay hollow and built two of the ships it carried.

anyone else humming a certain tv tune right now?
- I refuse to be stopped by something as irrelevant as logic, the laws of physics, or common sense -

if 20 chickens can fit in a brick, how many pingpongballs does a crocodile have to eat so it can swim faster than a washing machine?

That's a lot of green bricks. I'm kind of surprised it doesn't collapse in on itself with the inside being hollow. Awesome build!
