This is Jim Bowen’s Serenity, heavily modded.

The first pic is of his original, which can be found archived here:

I’ve always liked this simple, little model that Jim designed and have built it several times.

The first version I built was stolen from a display in the local Hobby Lobby store.

Each time I take it a bit further; here’s the latest version. Enjoy, -J

You did a great job on this model! Thank you for sharing the link for the template with us!
I can see that there is quite a bit of greebling potential.
