looking for an assist in designing my next guitar

ok so ive seen several star wars themed guitars (most of them the millennium falcon) but never on modeled after a star destroyer so now im looking for someone who can help me in the planning stages of creating one i my hope is to base the body off of vader's "executor" class star destroyer and need some help figuring out where all my cut outs (neck pocket, pickup holes, etc) should go. i plan to remove the "bridge" of the star destroyer and place the guitar bridge where that would be (the bridge would still be the bridge just a different type of bridge) if anyone has the time and talent to help me out with this it would be amazingly helpful since this is the first time i will be setting up to create something this unusual. image included of star destroyer (large one in the center) for reference. ships bridge is toward the back of the ship and raised up higher than the rest that is where i would like the guitar bridge to goimp-fleet.jpg

There are a few websites that help guitar builders

 

www.tdpri.com has a section called "home depot"

www.talkbass.com has "luthiers' corner"

and www.projectguitar.com is all about building

 

If you search around those sites, you can probably download standard plans for Telecasters, Strats and many other shapes.  Ignore the outlines, but use the rest of the dimensions for neck pocket, pick-up cavities, electronics cavities, etc.
