Thanks for the kind words. The second build of a model always seems to go faster.

Actually, I'm contemplating a third build, this time in 1/144th scale. I'm three episodes into season 2, when Rocinante has small dark squares -- battle-damage patches -- all over it. Also, some of the light gray paint is wearing off some panels, revealing the dark gray and orange MCRN colors underneath. If I can figure some way to replicate that, I might do it. I'd also want to inset the doors of the PDC housings, as well as the two hatchways and other details. And the forward RCS housings could be cut out, too.

The bottom line is, it is a well-designed (and robust) model that lends itself to detailing if that is the route you want to go. But it builds into a great replica straight off the page.
